    Any prospect traded to Boston is a Babe Ruth in the making according to CJ

    Re: Loney power no more?

    you wanna post one of these prospect lists that lists the great rubby de la rosa? who are the two top 40 ba prospects in the DEEP dodgers farm system? because according to ba's midseason list, zach lee was the only one who was top 50, and hes not in the deal. youre getting nothing back except for clearing out payroll [albeit, 270 mil is a TON].

    but on a happy note for you, your organization chose to keep around bobby v over gonzalez.

    Re: Loney power no more?

    looking at the dodgers lineup, which now looks very nice... im assuming dumping crawford on la was a major condition of this deal getting done. simply because... where in the hell does he play? you already got victorino in left, kemp in center and ethier in right... whos going to the bench in that scenario? i gotta assume it would be crawford.

    still... victorino/crawford, mark ellis, kemp, gonzalez, ethier, hanram, cruz [i guess], aj ellis, pitcher... thats gotta be the best lineup in the nl now, no?

    Crawford is hurt. I don't expect him doing anything this season. Then he starts next season after Victorino leaves.

    Still, you move his contract, holy fudge.

    Victorino is a free agent after this season, so he's just the lame duck starter at left field and then Crawford takes over next year.

    My thoughts were interrupted when Billingsley appeared to have blown out his elbow in the middle of the game.

    This is why I never get excited about anything.

    Re: Loney power no more?

    Oh come now, I think Kershaw is the only pitcher you haven't slaughtered at some point in the last two years.



    Yes I dislike him cause he gives me fantasy baseball indigestion. I dislike Blanton too though. I remember stating as much and liking Haren when they were A's. I think someone disagreed and said Blanton would be better.

    I guess the lesson here is you don't know what you've got until you're left with Blanton.
