I hope you're right about it being Uribe tomorrow, but I don't see that happening.

"no more sweenney or garret anderson kind of situations"

I hope those days never comeback.

my only reservation about this is that next year we will now have to address the 4 OF spot. I would have much rather seen Uribe gone or Rivera, since he will essentially be taking away his ABs anyway.

Puig should be our 4th OF for a couple of years. Unless he just tears the cover off the ball and forces us to give him one of the OF spots. With that said we should resign Victorino if he has a respectable rest of the way and move him to CF and preserve SuperMatt.

I don't see Puig being our 4th outfielder. I see Victorino as a 2 month rental and Puig/Van Slyke/Sands/Others getting a shot in Spring training to win the Left Field spot.

Van Slyke of Sands might end up at 1B in September also.

i really doubt they even consider having Puig as a 4th OFer, big time prospects are never called up for bench roles.

Sweeney is doing the "color girl" thing in SD for Fox

Not as good as Gwynn, He was one of the best defensive outfielders in baseball. I would have rather seen rivera go. Just to be clear i don't think it's a huge deal, just saying i would have preferred Gwynn was kept.

Are ya'all thinking that our outfield is set for next year and we just need to have a 4th outfielder. If that's the case, let me remind you the Victorino is a 'rental' until the end of the year when he bcomes a free agent. So, more than likely, we'll need to fill a starting roll in the outfield, along with a '4th', again. Who knows, we may sign Victorino to a short term contract but, it will be based on his performance THIS year.

I believe we will have some others to choose from in the off-season, including Puig who may win the outfield roll in spring training. I believe they'll bring Puig up when they do the September call ups but, he probably won't get much playing time this year.

>>>>Puig should be our 4th OF for a couple of years<<<

lol still with that?

They didn't pay $42 million to have him sit in the minors for 3 years and THEN bring him up to be the 4th OF and ride the bench for the next 3.

Victorino is gong to want a 3-5 year contract after this year. We aren't going to want to give that to him, or any major OF on the FA for that matter, so Victorino will walk.

Still with what? This is the first time I mention it.

Why do you assume that he will be in the minors for 3 years then come up and be on the bench another 3?

What I said was give Victorino a short term contract if he performs the rest of the way and use Puig as the 4th OF playing him 2- 3 times a week unless he tears the cover off the ball and forces us to play him everyday. At that point we can trade Victorino if he loses his job to Puig. I want to see them incorporate Puig slowly into the lineup much like they did with SuperMatt and Andre since I'm hoping he doesn't crash and burn if they just throw him out there.

adam keenedy lol

Arash Markazi?@ArashMarkazi

James Loney just got to Dodgers clubhouse. Shane Victorino looks at wrist and says, "You MFers better start showing up earlier around here."

This is the kind of clubhouse leader we need!!!!

Was he kidding ?

My mistake, thought you said 4th OF in a few years, not for a few years....in the Puig thread a lot of people are saying we won't see Puig in the MLB for a few years...thought you were continuing that!

Still, Victorino won't take a small contract, and I can't imagine who would win the OF job out of ST nex year over Puig?
