A-Gon

[SFGRTB]

If the Dodgers get both A-Gon and Beckett, their payroll obligations for next year will be $173MM committed to SEVENTEEN (17!) players!

Does the fact that the dodgers need to go to great lengths to stay competitive with the Giants show you that the team you thought were for real were in fact, not?

It actually supports many of our claims that a team of Kershaw, Kemp, and Ethier alone aren't enough..what are you crowing about?

If they do land A-Gon..shit just got real, part 2?

Contraposition........love it.

If it's true that the Dodgers claimed Beckett, I just don't understand why. No one wants him and he would have cleared waivers.

Maybe no one does, but maybe they wanted to block us or whomever else might.

The Dodgers may have claimed Josh Beckett too.

lol, are they trying to put together the most mutinous locker room ever assembled? HanRam (McKeon), Agon (Valentine), Beckett (Francona and Valentine) and Kemp (Torre)?

Beckett is a gas can, they can have his arse.

 

[TheSaboteur]

Justin Upton just got claimed as well.

 

[gp956]

Or maybe I just threw out a vague comment early in the year about worrying that the Dodgers were going to be a challenge for us this year. I wasn't really expecting the Spanish Inquisition on my 'method of evaluation'.

don't even think about this :bj: ain't gonna happen.

I wonder what Mat Latos would say about the Dodgers should they beat the Reds in the playoffs.....

They do love their drama in LA.

Around here rumors are that Beckett getting claimed was to help lower the cost of trading for AGON.

Sort of like "We will trade ya Agon, but you need to take Beckett too and give us 2- top pitching prospects"

If only Dwight Howard played baseball, they would get him, too.

If the Dodgers claim and acquire Beckett, Magic Johnson will be more popular in Boston than Larry Bird.

So are the Red Sox saying to the Dodgers that they have to claim Beckett first before there is any chance of them landing AGon?

Seriously. I'm reading some of the fan reactions on another board and Red Sox fans are saying it's like Christmas that some team was dumb enough to claim Beckett.

 

[SFGRTB]

They are reportedly working on a deal that would send, get this: A-Gon, Beckett, Carl Crawford, and Nick Punto to LA.

Crawford just underwent TJ surgery, so a crowded OF would not be a problem this year. If all this went through, the Dodgers payroll next year would be about $200MM committed to 19 guys. HOLY FUCK

They already did claim Beckett

Good strategy. But who would be projected to play 1B for them?

All they need is Carlos Zambrano and Milton Bradley and the fun can begin.

Oh yeah, I've read the reports. I was just speculating what the possible discussions were between the teams, what the Red Sox could have said to make the Dodgers crazy enough to claim Beckett.

Wow! Incredibly bold move by LA.
