Sherrill IS a Dodger!

The deal is done. George Sherrill has been traded to the Dodgers for two prospects: third baseman Josh Bell and pitcher Steve Johnson.

I've discussed both Sherrill and Bell before in a previous post, so take a peek back.

Johnson was with Bell at Double-A Chattanooga, but was with Single-A Inland Empire to start the year. Overall, he's 9-5 with a 3.61 ERA. Impressively, he has 117 strikeouts in 107 and 1/3 innings pitched.

I really like the move for the Dodgers. Both Bell and Johnson look like legitimate prospects, but Sherrill is a proven reliever that can help in late-inning situations. Most importantly, the Dodgers didn't have to give up the entire farm to get him.

Now the bigger question. Is this it for the Dodgers? Or, are they still after Roy Halladay? It would appear that Ned Colletti will still go after him because he still has plenty of prospects to offer.
