Newsbreakers

August 22, 2009

George Sherrill picked up his first save as a Dodger on Saturday as the team beat the Cubs 2-0. Sherrill allowed two baserunners in the ninth, but did not allow a run while striking out two.

Our View:

Sherrill has been outstanding since joining the club, and he got his first save opportunity today, with closer Jonathan Broxton pitching the eighth inning. With these two guys at the back end of the bullpen, the Dodgers should feel very comfortable late in games. It looks like Broxton is still the closer, but Sherrill could get some periodic save opportunities and should pile up the holds.

August 12, 2009

Pitching a scoreless eighth and ninth inning on Wednesday helped George Sherrill keep his Dodger ERA at 0.00 through 7.1 innings, but Los Angeles would still go on to lose 4-2 in ten innings.

Our View:

Sherrill has been everything the Dodgers hoped he would be since coming to Hollywood, and he figures to rack up a lot of holds down the stretch setting up Jonathan Broxton.

July 30, 2009

The Dodgers have officially acquired Orioles closer George Sherrill, according to MLBlogs.

Our View:

They Dodgers gave up pitching prospect Steve Johnson (and not Scott Elbert as originally reported) and slugging minor league third baseman Josh Bell. Sherrill's arrival shores up one of the Dodgers' biggest concerns, and will provide an excellent setup option for Jonathan Broxton. He could even spell the Dodgers' burly closer on some days as he battles a chronic toe injury. As for the Orioles, Jim Johnson is the most likely candidate to talk over closing duties, but Danys Baez could be in the mix, as well.

July 30, 2009

According to Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse, Orioles closer George Sherrill has been traded to the Dodgers.

Our View:

If true, the lefty throwing Sherrill would give the Dodgers' worn down bullpen a big boost, and provide a legitimate setup option for closer Jonathan Broxton. In exchange for their closer, the Orioles are rumored to be getting top pitching prospect Scott Elbert and third baseman Josh Bell. The O's will likely give Elbert a chance to start, but if he fails there, he could still be a very good setup guy.

July 29, 2009

The White Sox are the latest team to garner interest in George Sherrill, according to FOX Sports.

Our View:

Chicago is interested, but it is uncertain if they had serious discussions with Baltimore regarding a potential trade. The Orioles would like to acquire a third baseman in exchange for Sherrill, and the Sox have enough infield depth to make a deal. Josh Fields could be offered in a proposal.
