For a couple of days now there has been talks of the Dodgers scouting Esteban German and now it seems those talks are really taking off. The Dodgers in need of infield help because of injuries to Nomar Garciappara and Jeff Kent have been looking hard for a cheap but solid option. Ken Rosenthal says that both Joe Crede and Brandon Inge appear to expensive and that other options include Nationals infielder Ronnie Belliard and our very own German.
Bob Dutton has it that the Royals and Dodgers are discussing a deal that would send German to the Dodgers and net the Royals 23 year old righty Jonathan Meloan and 25 year old righty Miguel Pinango.
If that is really the package on the table the Royals need to jump all over it. Meloan is ranked as the Dodgers 8th best prospect and his minor league numbers are pretty impressive; for his career his K/9 is 13.51.
Another rumor courtesy of Dutton is that the Royals would send Berroa to the Nationals along with roughly $2.4 million (half of his $4.75 million contract) in exchange for 22 year old righty Zech Zinicola.
