Jabroni Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 (edited) "Dodgers close to sending Ishii to Mets" http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/3474474 Quote The Mets are close to acquiring left-hander Kaz Ishii from the Dodgers in exchange for catcher Jason Phillips, Sporting News' Ken Rosenthal has learned. All Ishii is worth is Jason Phillips? Ishii isn't great but I would think he has more value than a scrub catcher like Phillips. I guess the Dodgers really were desperate for a catcher. No Ben Davis to Dodgers trade now. Edited March 19, 2005 by Jabroni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backman Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Because, if I am understanding DugoutDollars correctly, they are saving roughly $2.8 mill or so, while getting rid of a mediocre pitcher in Ishii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Mets need to make this move too, since Trachsel is having some back-injury issues. I want to say Ishii's WHIP is super high, and I think he gets saved by pitching in the Grand Canyon that is Dodgers Stadium, but Shea is a pithcher's park as well, so I think he can come close to his OK numbers for the Mets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Stadium - 95B-96P ratings in 04, 93B-94P in 03, 91B-92P in 02 Shea Stadium - 99B-99P in 04, 99B-99P in 03, 94B-95P in 02 I wouldn't expect it to go up too much though.
