    I don’t get this question, if anything contracts relative to team value and inflation are going down.

    Can it survive that?

    #Dodgers Report: Closer Kenley Jansen is trying to break an old habit of peeking at his radar-gun readings

    Mental midget.

    You know better than to believe any of that.
    Do u also believe magic offered the whole team for AD?
    News reporters have to earn a buck.
    They make shit up or report made up shit they know is probably not true but some gm dropping smoke screens

    Some more on #Dodgers LHP Clayton Kershaw, who is looking more and more doubtful for his opening-day start as he rebounds from shoulder inflammation. "The main thing," MGR Dave Roberts said, "is he's trending in the right direction."
    -------------------
    Not the slightest bit concerned. We all know he's gonna miss time anyway, if only for rest, fine by me.

    T-minus 2 years until Trout lands in Philly and LAD settles into being 3rd or 4th best

    Oh well as long as fans park thier butts in those seats nothing will change. Very depressing to know we are a big market team but run like the Tampa Bay Rays

    Did u watch games?
    Mac Muncy carried this team.
    I expect much more from you.
    Is baseball reference the authority on WAR?
    BR is an aggregator, not a source.
    Look at what sources are doing the ranking.
    Muncy was way better than Turner last year by OPS and OPS+ and WAR and most other overall scores.
    Muncy only had like 30 or 40 more at bats than Turner.
    Muncy has a higher WAR than him by a good margin. And kills him by like 50-70 points of OPS.
    Not only is Turner not far and away a better performer last year he was not even on top.
    In most stats Muncy blows him out of the water.
    And if it was not for Dave taking him out for stupid reasons it would have been a landslide.

    I also plan to not look at the radar gun for any of Kershaw or Kenley’s pitches this season

    Definitely feels like Kersh is primed and ready to put his October demons to rest. Yup, no concerns here.

    Not quite. The Rays re-signed a young Longoria. We'll see if Seager is hurt enough in few to get a deal done

    The front office calls that "value".

    Not at all.
    If verdugo had the value u think he has then there would be no Pollock.
    But verdugo can't be relied upon to start on a ws contender.
    Joc comes up big.
    Verdugo has a high floor but his ceiling is not high enough for a LF.
    That tanks his value.
    He could not take RF from Puig who they got rid of and he won't be taking Bellinger spot.
    So he is valued vs what Joc would produce. Or frankly any other LF that could be easily had.
    Joc will be your starting LF.
    Not the kid.
    That should tell u what the team values.
