HuskyCaucasian Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I missed all the pre-game stuff today. I saw that Uribe is started at short this evening. Safe to assume he's being showcased? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe to assume he's being showcased? Either that or it's been an awful long time since Cabrera had a day off, and if Uribe is on the shopping block, then we may as well rest the OC for a day or two while we still have a solid defensive SS behind him.

I think they have moved Alexie to short late in the gam a few times. you'd think he'd be given time. But they left him at 2B and have Uribe at SS.

R.J. Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Also important to note that OC is 0-for-8 lifetime vs. Duchsherer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I can't imagine any team giving up anything for Uribe unless they are totally clueless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure you fully understand how desperate the Dodgers are for anything resembling a major league shortstop. Hu has been terrible and they've resorted to Angel Berroa and Luis Maza, so yes, Juan Uribe would be an upgrade in LA. They tried to trade Loaiza for him already, so there's atleast a bit of interest from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how much they thought we thought of Loaiza. I think yours is closer, but do not estimate the chances of finding a GM who is over valuing someone in your system.

Al Lopez's Ghost Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Situations change. After the Dodgers tried to get Uribe for Loiaza, they tried Angel Berrora at short. Not so good. Thursday Jeff Kent left the game early, don't know why, but that could thin them out some more. So you never know, Juan could still wind up in tinseltown.
