  1. It is a point in time snapshot. It is meant to look back at the results after more information is available.
  2. That's not hate. Them's just the facts. He is not a good catcher. He can't throw and he strikes out at alarming rate. On the positive side, he is tall.
  3. I just figured that more family time was more important to him.
  4. Who hates Salty? I am happy for him. He invoked his Union right to paid paternity leave and now he will get a lot of time to spend with the baby, and still cash his checks. Win win for him.
  5. The pen has been fine. Ogando has been a great addition. When healthy, he has good stuff and he can pitch.
  6. True. If the guy can show consistency, that would be a good thing to have, but I would have waited a month or 2 to see how he adjusted to the AL.
  7. I think everyone knows where - stand on the issue. Mediocre bottom of the rotation guys are plentiful -- a dime a dozen. THere is no need to commit long term to the guy.
  8. I did. I never thought much of Salty and millionaire ballplayers don't need a union contract clause to give them paid leave for paternity. If they want to be with their wives for the birth, they shouldn't get paid for the time off. Then we would see how many were truly thoughtful family men.
  9. Also, the Dodgers have said that they will be souting other teams to find a replacement for Brandon McCarthy. The competition for Hamels will be stiff, and I am sure that we will hear all the usual excuses when we come up empty handed at the trading deadline. Others are bound to take you to task on your criticism of Benny Baby, so let me be the first to correct you. You were not precise enough when you said that he is sitting with "his finger up his ass.". He has thumb up his ass.
  10. Johnson is pitching great. He was very impressive in Spring Training.
  11. Every win is a good win, but sooner than later the pitchers have to get it going or changes will have to be made.
  12. Salty DFA'd by Marlins today.
  13. You want to watch 4 1/2 years of this garbage?
  14. Stupid base running is a hallmark of Farrell managed teams. When he was managing Toronto, they ran recklessly to the point where Omar Vizquel question what they were doing.
  15. We will have to disagree about this.
  16. This would be interesting. I wonder if the Papelbon hate here would abate if trusted Benny sees fit to bring him back.
  17. IMO, he didn't get enough value in return.
  18. Benny Boy bungled that one. He sold very cheap on a year and a half of Lackey-- with the full year being at a huge discount. He brought back almost nothing.
  19. Yep, it goes with the territory.
