Sweet Deal
The Dodgers plan to announce that they and manager Jim Tracy mutually agreed to part company, ending Tracy's five-year tenure in charge.
Tracy, 49, had just completed the first season of a two-year contract, but he had a clause that would allow him to void the upcoming year. Last month he requested an extension.
After guiding the Dodgers to four consecutive winning seasons and a division title in 2004, Tracy saw his roster decimated by injuries in 2005 and slip to fourth place and a 71-91 record, the worst for a Dodger club since 1992.

:grumpy: :boohoo: He was a good manager. If the rumors are true than Dusty Baker is the next manager.
-
he was a good manager...... it's DePodesta's fault......... look at what that weenies team did this year! :laugh:
fuckin dicks, they're ruining a great franchise.....
-
lol...right choosing Phillips over Choi and anybody over Perez at 3rd was a complete disgrace. Thhose moves alone right there cost the team about 40-60 runs
-
he wasn't a GREAT manager, but your a fuckin retard if you think this season was his fault
-
Did I ever say it was his fault? Learn how to fucking read please before you even think about insulting me. The main reaosn this team had a horrible season was because of the injuries
-
god damn, settle the fuck down, I didn't say anything about YOU sir :laugh:
speaking figuritively I said "you're a fuckin retard if you think it's his fault" as in "whoever thinks it's his fault is a fuckin retard"
Learn how to fucking read please
-
it's funny how your reply was after my rant of Tracy...hmm i wonder who that was directed to? I see no other reason of putting it like that other than the fact that i was complaing about two moves tracy has done in the season
-
^^^ are you serious? :laugh: fuckin paranoid about some dude on the internet insulting you
fuckin nerd
-
OKay Im a nerd.
There were 2 reasosns why this season was a failure Injuries and Tracy. Do not blame Depo
-
Do not blame Depo
:laugh: Valentin over Beltre (even with sorry numbers)
Lowe for $36 mil
Drew aka Darren Dreifort (whom everybody but Depo's dumbass figured to get hurt.... paying the most injury prone the most money ::))
Kelly Wunsch
Hee-Seop Choi as everyday first basemen? (yeah that worked..... talk about bein on someones nutz, as in an excuse to use a minimum payed player as a starter)
-
Stay On Topic :D Come on it's Depodesta's fault. CHoi as the 1st basemen :laugh: He could of gotten Delgado as a free agent. Not resigning Beltre but putting Valentin at 3rd. Signing the injury plagued Drew to more than Beltre was asking for. Not trading for Adam Dunn or anyone else on the trading block.
-
Thanks for bringing up Lowe, possibly one of the best FA signings of pitchers this past offseason
3.61 ERA
Jeff Kent?
ANd if we look at the 1B production from Choi and Saenz it turns out it was 6th best in the NL and better than Shawn Green of last year
Hey what happen to the stats of these dodgers who Depo let go...
FInley
Cora
Beltre
Lima
Ishii
Green
Oh yeah....Navarro and Martin have a much better future than Lo Duca. In fact Navarro ended up the season with better numbers than Lo Duca! What?! Another plus?
It was the first time Drew has played in under 100 games in his career. 100 Games of Drew IS better than 150+ games of Beltre
ANd the 3B situation should have been cured with Antonio Perez
-
^^ damn ur reachin......... it's injuries and Depo's......... not injuries and Tracy......... Tracy did a better job coaching than that little weenie did tryin not to sweat it out in the press box of how badly he fucked this franchise over.......... regardless of some of the good moves he made, he made more mistakes than good moves
-
Yeah I just gave stats...im "reaching" I basically saw the whole season and Tracy did not do a good job. How in the hell do you choose Phillips over Choi and Edwards over Perez for a shitload of games
-
why do you choose Phillips over Lo Duca in the first place? :laugh:
why bring in Drew and make him the next Dreifort?
why Phillips instead of Choi? maybe cuz Choi sucks, he hit 15 homers this year, 6 in 12 at bats :laugh: and he fuckin was just as shitty as Phillips in every aspect
I just can't believe you are a Dodger fan and actually like DePodesta...... once that fag came in and fucked over shit the year before (even though they won the division) you can't just come in and trade fan favorites and piss off fans cuz you think you're some kind of genius......... he's a shitty GM who looks at bogus stats to configure players and he's from the School of Billy Beane.... as in the school of making a team with a cheap payroll, looking at gay stats that don't matter, and also going to a school of a guy who's never gotten out of the first round of the fuckin playoffs
-
It's not Phillips over Lo Duca, phillips was just a bridge to the future.
Navarro Stats
273/354/375
Lo Duca's Stats
284/335/381
If we would have kept Lo Duca we would be having an aging 32 year old catching with declining stats. His stats have declinded ever year since hes been in the leauge and there is no reason to see a change in that. We have two amazing catchers that WILL outperform Lo Duca for the following years
Choi's Stats
255/338/456 for an OPS of .794
Phillip's Stats
236/285/362 for an OPS of .647
Not even close to beign the same. One has the potential to break out or just put up solid numbers the other can jsut put up Ok numbers for a Catcher and little to no chance of breaking out.
The Risk with Drew is the same exact risk you would be taking in re signing Beltre. Like I said, just by getting 100 games of Drew is more valueable damn a near to full season of Beltre.
