The LA Times reports that a league source said the Dodgers asked Doug Melvin about Bill Hall. This could blossom into something, as the underachieving Hall is expensive for the BrewCrew, yet below market price for someone of his talents. Plus, Tony Gwynn Jr. could be the leadoff hitter Milwaukee has been looking for. He certainly is an upgrade defensively.
This made me think of the Dodger's inquiry on Ben Sheets and Melvin's interest in Andy LaRoche. I wonder if the two teams would be able to work something out. That would be really interesting. I say...
Brewers GET:
3B Andy LaRoche
RHP Jonathan Broxton
RHP Chad Billingsly
a mid-level prospect
Dodgers GET:
RHP Ben Sheets
CF/3B Bill Hall
LF Kevin Mench
This would suddenly make the weak bullpen the Brewers have a strength, and it would give us a 3B that is a very good defensive player. Not to mention, a top prospect in Billingsly. The Dodgers, however, would be getting a bonafide ace in Sheets, and a starting player in Bill Hall that still has the ability to produce big. Kevin Mench would be more of a salary drop in this case. I think this could legitimately work. What do you all think?
