GA와 진지한 협상중인 다저스

Garret Anderson could be on his way back to Southern California.

The Dodgers are exploring the idea of signing Anderson to be their fourth outfielder and have been in contact with his agent, Scott Boras, according to multiple sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity because talks are ongoing.

Anderson, who played 15 years of his 16-year career with the Angels, hit .268 with 13 home runs and 61 runs batted in over 135 games for the Atlanta Braves last season. He started 124 games in left field and earned $2.5 million.

Anderson turns 38 in June.

Anderson is among the handful of veteran free agents the Dodgers are looking at to replace Juan Pierre, who was traded to the Chicago White Sox this off-season. Jason Repko and Xavier Paul are the leading in-house candidates for the job.
협상이 진행중인 관계로 익명을 요구한 소식통에 의하면 다저스는 GA(Garret Anderson)와 협상을 진행중이라고 합니다. 앤더슨은 다가오는 6월에 38살이 되는데, 이해할 수가 없네요.

인저리 기운이 약간 있는 선수를 매니의 휴식보장을 위해 데려온다는 어처구니 없는 생각...

더군다나 에이전트가 보라스네요(연봉페이지에는 Chris Arnold라고 나오는데, 아마 보라스코퍼레이션의 직원 에이전트인가 봅니다)

어차피 GA의 가치는 높지 않기때문에 에이전트가 악덕일지라도 정도껏 요구할거 같지만, 문제는 역시 인저리기운이 있는 매니와 동갑의 선수를 매니 휴식을 위해 데려온다는게 이해할 수 없네요.

엔젤스도 그들의 프렌차일즈를 다시 데려올 수도 있다는 얘기가 나왔지만, 현실적으로 가능성은 떨어지고 다저스 혼자 단독 입찰자가 되지 않을까 싶네요.

Right-hander Joe Nelson was a feel-good story in 2008, a journeyman reliever who broke through with the Marlins, producing a 2.00 ERA in 59 games.

Nelson, 35, was less effective with the Rays last season, but the way he sees it, he had only one bad month, posting an 11.17 ERA from May 4 to 27.

Now Nelson is a free agent, and he says the Red Sox, Dodgers and Nationals are among the teams showing interest.

One executive says Nelson lost his confidence and then his command last season, and probably fit best in a spacious National League park.

Nelson, though, points to his numbers before and after his May meltdown – a 2.38 ERA in 10 games before and a 1.40 ERA in 20 games after.

The Rays designated him for assignment on Aug. 1 after signing right-hander Jeff Bennett, and Nelson spent the rest of the season at Class AAA.

"I had a really tough May last year,” he says. “Before and after that I was throwing the ball really well."
뛰엄뛰엄 뛰면서 2008년에 좋은 활약을 펼쳤던 조 넬슨(Joe Nelson)에게도 관심이 있다는 루머가 로젠탈의 의해 나왔습니다.

지난해에는 레이스에서 뛰었는데, 5월달에 ERA가 많이 안좋았을뿐 나머지달(6월달은 9경기에서 0.84ERA, 7월은 2.25ERA)은 괜찮았네요.

넬슨의 에이전트에 따르면 다저스, 보스턴, 네츠가 자신의 고객에게 관심을 갇고 있답니다.

일단 나이가 많은 선수(올 10월에 35살이 됩니다)는 고향 가까이에서 뛰고 싶은 마음이 있는지라 CA출신인 넬슨이 과연 다저스와 계약할지...한다면 마이너 딜!!
