Bob Sacamano Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 30, 2015 -> 03:01 PM) Somebody is pissed: Brandon McCarthy @BMcCarthy32 5m5 minutes ago .@Dodgers This is blatant handism and I'm filing a hostile workplace grievance I forgot about him. Does he even have a spot in that rotation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Kazmir is better than Danks, but I am kind of surprised to see that their 2015 years didnt differ tons. Edited December 30, 2015 by Jose Paniagua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's due back until the second half of 2016, so I don't think they are worried until then. Between Kazmir/Wood/Anderson, somebody is bound to get hurt or start sucking.

southsider2k5 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1 49m49 minutes ago #Dodgers deferring Kazmir 3-$48M over 6 yrs so getting $8M annually in that period including $5M sign bonus and $3M salary this year If Kazmir opts out after 2016 he gets $16M total: $5M sign bonus, $3M 2016 salary and the $8M deferred from 2016 #Dodgers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Surprised Kazmir would even want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 As long as Kazmir stays healthy he should pitch well in those spacious NLW ballpark's with the possible exception of Coors. I think the opt-out plays into the Dodgers hands since potentially one year of Kazmir buys time for Urias or DeLeon to take Kazmir's place in '17. I think it's a smart move by the Dodgers.

caulfield12 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) A lot of this is dependent on how healthy Ryu is...and what he has when he does come back. When he was going good 2-3 seasons ago, he was a solid #3 option, bordering on a weak 2 in the NL West. The Dodgers are currently dampening expectations and claiming that he's not going to be pressured to start the season in the rotation. Of course, the irony here is that they had a huge surplus of starting pitching a year ago (remember dumping Haren on FLA and basically paying his full contract?) and now it's one of their weak spots/vulnerabilities. Beyond that, this is the market for starting pitching. Some reports even had Chen of BALT closer to $75-100 million, but Iwakuma, Gallardo and Kazmir were all in this same 3 years/$50ish million range. Then below that you have the likes of Latos and Fister, which would/could be 2 White Sox potential targets if they miss on the Big 3.
