    we have a lot of #4's and 5's
    normally this might be a problem/issue
    this year it's been a blessing

    To be fair, yeah coming from me, this trade sends a message (to all) that they are not fucking around and it actually inspired me to like them a little, even it's only one single, solitary cKunt hair more. If they have a learning curve and if owning the all time DL record helps their decision making going forward than that's a good thing. Jury's out on that one but this trade was bad ass, IMO!

    There, I said it!

    To add:

    Kinda funny how, as supposedly genius forward thinkers, they are both fixated on their old teams and/or the one team that beat TB in the WS.

    TBT, but also trying to get the same guys who beat you may have been a better option say, 6 years ago? :D

    Nerds should get Alexei Ramirez out of SD... probably could be had for a bucket of Van Slykes.
    And hit better against lefties. Lot better, look... .306 .359 .417

    While he is not a great defender at SS he can serve as insurance for Seager if he has to rest for whatever reason.
    And of course play 2B against lefties.

    Bumping my B to a B+ simply because of the AJ trade

    Could have timed it better but now he's gone so the healing can begin

    Dodgers need just a .500 record the remainder of the way to reach the 90 win mark. 4 straight 90+ win seasons and a solid farm starting to graduate. Should continue to be in the hunt for years to come. Hopefully a WS or two or five mixed in there.

    8 F's as they're cruising towards yet another playoff berth. LOL.

    Yeah they're sure failing.

    at this point i think the lowest grade one could give would be a c
    i've got them at b, based on the team they've assembled
    not sure if they should be graded on how the team performs though tbh
