This looks like one of my roto leagues...one guy willing to make moves to get a title, the rest too timid to do what's needed to improve their teams. The Dodgers may not be the best at making decisions, but I'll give them full credit at least going for it when it's up for grabs. Nolasco will be a fine end of the rotation guy for them, something that they really need."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

I respect the Dodgers for making the moves they are. Now, they are complete and total idiots about most of them, but they are jumping at opportunities when they present themselves. If this team is gelling, AND they grab the free agents they need, watch out. I'm still waiting and seeing because the NL West is a mess and it'll be a month before it starts to sort itself out.

Originally posted by Hornsby View PostNo, they have the courage to SPEND the money. Every team that's in the hunt has more than enough cash to take on all of Nolasco's deal...it's not that much. But nobody else would do it. And when a guy is a contributor to your team, you're not "eating salary", you're paying a man to do his job.

Nice game against the Cubs today, not that that's hard to do. His ERA as a Dodger is 2.20.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.
