Jesse Chavez traded for Mike Bolsinger

[Grant77]

If you listen to Zaun, then maybe you shouldnt have an opinion lol.

 

I think the idea that the F.O. saw Feldman as an upgrade over Chavez is a valid point no matter who said it.

I think it was more about getting Bolsinger than any upgrade from Chavez to Feldman.

I think we could have had Bolsinger for less than Guadalupe Chavez and the salaries of Feldman and Jesse Chavez if that were the case, but we'll never know.

Probably not. The Dodgers were obviously looking for bullpen help/depth. They wouldn't have traded Bolsy for less than an 18 year old in the gulf coast league.

Should've offered up Nash Knight. Could've gotten Seager in return.

I think you missed the point. We could have likely had him for less 'value' than a decent prospect and several million dollars. A quick look at the Dodgers 40 man shows Bolsinger as an easy DFA candidate if they were healthy and/or made some other moves.

 

A big part of this series of moves was the perceived upgrade from Chavez to Feldman in my opinion.

You do know Hendriks has been horrible this year right?

 

3.59 FIP and worth .5 WAR out of then pen after a tough start. Not last year but he has a lot time to get on a roll. Wouldn't call that horrible.

Hard to recognize him without the scared shitless on the verge of a panic attack look on his face.

 

This is one of the funniest posts I've read in a while. Thanks for that.

 

Funny because it's true.

And doesn't he have three more years of control? That and the Valencia "trade" were two of the weirdest deals we've done in the last couple of seasons.

Good move.

I remember when Arizona jettisoned him there was someone hounding AA through the means of this board to go pick him up. I hope that person is happy now!

Why does la want chavez

[Cyborg]

Why does la want chavez

 

Because he projects very well and they dont have the hinderence of confirmation bias.

2.80 ERA, 3.15 FIP projected by Steamer in LA.

Will have a stronger ERA/FIP in a pitchers park like Dodgers stadium.

 

Cyborg beat me to it.

[wamco]

Steamer must not watch Chavez pitch.

 

 

Any pitcher would obviously project better in a pitchers park than a hitters park. How bad is bolsinger to give up for ugly Chavez?

You are like the librarian of this board. Too bad that job is pretty much obsolete now or else you would have had a comfortable unionized career.
