George Sherrill

Just read this article on foxsports.com and thought George Sherrill might a nice player to add to the pen with Mark DiFelice out. Not sure what it would take to get him from the Dodgers, maybe Dave Bush?

 

The Dodgers have a number of young relief pitchers coveted by other teams, including Ronald Belisario, Hong-Chih Kuo and Ramon Troncoso. But when teams have inquired about those relievers, according to one rival executive, they have been encouraged to instead submit proposals for left-hander George Sherrill. It appears that Sherrill is available for two main reasons: He's about to earn a raise (perhaps as high as $4 million) through salary arbitration; and he had a lousy NLCS against the Phillies. The Dodgers are looking for a starter in exchange for Sherrill.

I'd do Bush for Sherrill in a second. Sherrill could possibly be the closer after Hoffman leaves/retires.

You would trade a guy that can give you roughly league-avg. ERA over 150+ innings for a short reliever?

Too many flyballs from Sherrill. He has a solid enough K/BB ratio, but he wouldn't do well in Miller Park. Mid-upper 3 ERA type. Good yet, not great, and not good enough to part with Bush, IMO.

Sherrill isn't any better than many free options, so those would have to be extinguished first.
