Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2006 7:16 pm Post subject: Dodgers Acquire Wilson Betemit |
|
|
from Atlanta. Traded Danys Baez and Willie Aybar. I think its a good deal, Betemit is an absolute beast up close, and people in ATL raved about him. Hes young, and has potential to be a big time hitter. Baez was awful this year and Aybar was promising, but for the value of Betemit its a great trade. I heard the Yankees were also interested in him.
Too early to tell if the Dodgers are buyers or sellers, but this is a great move IMO _________________ 2009 NBA CHAMPIONS!!! |

I grabbed Betemit up, in a couple of my fantasy leagues, and the rascal went stone cold!!... It may have been due to his prior knowledge, of the trade??... I hope he heats the Deadbeat Dodgers!! _________________ "Teamwork is a nebulous thing. It is as ephemeral as love, disappearing at the latest insult.".... Phil Jackson |

He is also actually 24 not 26 as listed so even better! Braves signed him when he was 14 and lied that he was 16.
Also there has been rumors that Dodgers have one of the better packages to offer for Miguel Tejada. |

Unless they offer Furcal in the deal, I can't see it happening |

The Dodgers are winning again, so the trade was a bit of a wakeup call. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that." ~~Martin Luther King Jr.~~ |

My friend who is a big Braves nut and lives in GA is very upset about this deal. He says the Braves got royally taken by the Dodgers. Of course, Aybar DID go 4 for 6 in his first Braves game... |

They got Maddux for Izzy. Not sure how to feel about that one. _________________ Game recognize game, Granddad. - Riley Freeman, The Boondocks |

me either. he's better than all but two of our starters ... maybe better than everyone except penny, so that'll help. they still need some arms in the pen... maybe that'll come with the second deadline. Funny thing about Betimet trade, Aybar had 4 hits last night for Atlanta. |

We finally get a houshold name but an over-the-hiller for sure in Mad Dog.
Let's hope we can aquire some real talent and power in the offseason ala Berkman, Soriano, Dunn. _________________ "Now we're so happy we do the dance of joy." |

Anybody have a scouting report for Betemet? I don't know much about him but most of the people I talk to say he's pretty good. I personally am not that broken up about losing Aybar or Baez. |

He's looking excellent so far. He's got a very good glove to go along with his bat. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that." ~~Martin Luther King Jr.~~ |
