Heads22 Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I was watching this guy pitch for the Dodgers last night against the Giants....he's just got nasty stuff. He was throwing 97 with a whole lot of movement. He's 2-2 with an ERA of 2.11. The Dodgers seem willing to move him, as the offered him and Adrian Beltre for Mike Lowell. What are some of your thoughts on this guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Mota is a very talented pitcher. He has one of the best arms in the majors (Fastball wise). He also features a good slider and a developing change. The changeup has been the key to his sucess as he now can vary the speeds. In all honesty, I think the Sox hope that somehow Jon Adkins can develop into Mota. Who knows if it will happen. He's someone I talked about last season when the Dodgers were a bit down on him.

He used to be a shortstop, too. You know, if we just brought the whole Dodgers pen over here, that wouldn't be a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Isn't that the guy that Piazza was gonna kill in a ST game after he threw at Piazza? Mota and Beltre for Lowell will never happen. Lowell is a salary dump for Florida if they trade him and Beltre has a Lowell-esque contract if I'm not mistaken . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Marlins don't want Beltre. Imo, the Dodgers don't have what it takes to land Lowell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Marlins don't want Beltre. Imo, the Dodgers don't have what it takes to land Lowell. I tend to agree the Dodgers aren't going to get Lowell, or at least with what they are offering. Don't know if the scrubs will offer anymore either. Beltre is suspect and nobody wants to take him on.
