Rafael Furcal Reportedly Headed To St. Louis

Sunday, July 31, 2011


Craig Calcaterra NBC Sports reports that the Dodgers agree on much too short Rafael Furcal St. Louis market. The only thing is, according Calcaterra, Furcal for a no-trade clause to give up. Buster Olney both ESPN and Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reported that agreement was near. Derrick Goold St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Furcal would be against a trade to St. Louis.

First, it is surprising that Furcal commercial value whatsoever. He spent two long periods on the disabled list this season, once with a broken thumb and one with oblique strain. Furcal missed 292 games the Dodgers last '603 go to the end of 2007. Again, I always hope and the thought of healthy Furcal makes a difference on the board and on the ground. Of course, the warning is rarely healthy Furcal.

During his last six games, Furcal 8-for-22, hit .364/.500/.500 with three doubles, two stolen bases and walking three in three attempts. St. Louis was similar enough to show that Furcal was healthy enough to make a difference in the final straight to finish it.

Former Dodger Ryan Theriot started Cardinals 85 107 short games of the season and hit .268/.314/.330. Theriot second base in St. Louis earlier today.

Furcal at $ 12 million this season, the last three years of half-year contract with the Dodgers. With 60 days remaining of the season after today, then the Cardinal on the hook for approximately $ 3,934,426 if left on his salary. Furcal also had the option of $ 12 million of the club for next season, a zero percent chance of exercise.

This step opens the door for more Dee Gordon short time to reach the big leagues as he prepares what will almost certainly lose his job in 2012. Gordon has hit .232/.250/.280 in his first base with the Dodgers earlier this season, but little excitement in the field and on base. Gordon has nine stolen bases in 12 attempts in 22 games.

Furcal at least a brief discussion and the best in LA Dodgers history. In six seasons with the Dodgers, Furcal hit .283/.351/.406 with wOBA 0336, 100 and 104 617 in OPS + + WRC games. Furcal collecting 15.2 FanGraphs War of the Dodgers.
