Greinke would be more than enough...

Agreed. But I switch Bills and Beckett.

[numba1CHANGsta]

sign Grienke, Hunter and some BP help and call it an offseason

[rcs15]

we are not going to get napoli. he'd be an upgrade but not enough of one to justify the money. I want kuroda and anibal (i think angels will get greinke)

Kershaw
Kuroda
Anibal
Beckett
Bills/Lilly

thats an awesome staff, and we could trade harang or capuano for a bullpen arm.

You don't think the Dodgers envision ryu as a starter?

Seems kind of ridiculous to me they'd put up 25 mil to negotiate with a reliever.

[LASportsFan1996]

He'll start if signed

[LA RO]

I believe if we get grienke we will be looking good

[D Blue987]

I believe if we get grienke we will be looking good

Greinke and Ryu and we are set. We can keep one of Capuano or Harang in case anybody goes down.

As I said, pretty filthy. I actually think Ryu will be a pleasant surprise to most if we sign him to a contract.

Can anyone explain why there is a consistent lack of faith in Billingslys ability. How is suddenly our # 4/5 below Ryu, an unknown, and Beckett? Beckett may have been better years ago but not over the last 4. The way I see it Bills is our #3, Beckett 4 and Ryu is 5.

[old blue]

Health is the major reason. Better have a back up plan for him

no offense .... I like Billingsley, I always have .... but ... HE SUCKS ...that is why ... He is way too inconsistent ... I get the lack of faith in Ryu and Beckett too but they are all hand in hand at this point ... I just think Beckett and Ryu have WAY more potential

[SFrush90]

Billingsley definitely does not suck. He has been inconsistent like you said though. Since he had his first full year of starting in 2008 his WAR each has been 4.4, 3.1, 4.4, 1.9, 2.7. Obviously WAR is not the way to solely judge a player, but as a whole it shows he's a good starter. His WAR more than likely would've been higher than 2.7 this year if he didn't get injured. He's also got an above-average career FIP and has nearly 8.0 K/9 over his career.

you know i have always said, that in terms of pure stuff and ability, bills is as good as Matt Cain, though he doesn't have Matt Cain's insane Babip though.

I am honestly asking .... so don't get mad or take it wrong .... why is a giants fan in the dodger forum? Are you trolling or is their an actualy reason?

[gazelle01]

I don't think I've seen his name mentioned yet, but what about Shaun Marcum as a possible SP addition? He's a quality pitcher and I would assume more affordable than some other names mentioned. He has a career 3.76 ERA and 1.22 WHIP.

[old blue]

Napoli would make a good back up at c and first. A bat off the bench too, it is not going to happen so pj. Might as well move on. We are looking for a sp
