2013 Trade Deadline Talk

[Erick]

Wall's #'s as a reliever aren't good either. He seems to be the worst of the three.

BA on Sanchez

The Dodgers signed Sanchez out of an unusual source, Santo Domingo Autonomous University, a college in the Dominican Republic. He cost them a mere $75,000 bonus in July 2010 and had a breakout pro debut the next year, going 8-4, 2.82 in low Class A. His follow-up campaign was a disaster. After an up-and-down first half in high Class A, Sanchez lost nine straight decisions and had the worst ERA in the minors in the second half at 8.75. His stock understandably took a hit, but he does still have an exciting arm. His fastball ranges from 92-96 mph, and he backs it up with a tight, late-breaking slider. He can also turn to an underused changeup, which is inconsistent but shows flashes of becoming an average pitch, and a show-me curveball. He struggled with command last season, particularly with his slider. The team also worried that he didn't put in the same effort in his start-to-start preparation as he did in 2011, and hopes last season was a wakeup call. Sanchez will get another crack at Rancho Cucamonga in 2013. Continued struggles with his secondary stuff could force a move to the bullpen sooner than later.

Sanchez started the year in Low A ball after spending all of 2012 in High A ball.

It's the beginning of July. How is that waiting a long time?

[Big Z]

3 weeks

[HUGG]

what exactly did you think we were gonna get for Ricky Nolasco?
--------------------
maybe we coulda thrown in Logan Morrison and gotten a better prospect!

[Beef]

The waiting was the hardest part

[lou]

Very Loria and Beinfest move. Save money, power arms no control. Give the money to Stanton.

[Erick]

Ames doesn't fit the "power arms, no control" description. I think every organization tries to acquire power arms especially in the bullpen.

[Ramp]

Lol @ waited 3 weeks too long.
Nolasco is still Nolasco

[HUGG]

[Miamarlin21]

--------------------
They're going to have to make a move on the 40.
