LDF Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Erisbel Arruebarrena was just dfa by the Dodgers. should the sox be interested??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickJones81 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Depends on price. No to a trade, if he hits the open market and can be had at low cost, perhaps. I think he's still owed like $20M on his current contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I don't even care about his glove, but his bat has been worse than Leury Garcia's to this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can hit better than this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 That's...weird? Committed $25 million to him last February, he's 24 years old. Great glove, supposedly. He hit really well in AAA, got in a fight, then was sent to AA and couldn't hit a lick after that. Very odd. Is this revocable waivers? I don't remember how that works in the offseason. They may just be trying to make space on their roster based on the assumption that nobody will want to pay him. They could just pull him back if somebody does claim him.

Eminor3rd Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Too much money for what looks like a flyer prospect at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, unrealistic. Throw in Abreu. Jokes aside I don't think depth at SS is a pressing issue. He's an interesting name based on how much the Dodgers invested in him (and the aforementioned Melton pronunciation) but I think there are more immediate needs than what he can potentially provide.
