    the Dodgers weren't going to sign him until July, so of course he didn't take Boston's offer to them as he wanted to sign sooner than that. the Sox and Yankees wanted to sign him immediately. what don't you understand about this? it's pretty easy to follow.



    losing out to the Sox wasn't his M.O. either.



    no, he played 3B, 2B and CF. and he also worked out at SS, but looked more comfortable at 3B, 2B, and CF.



    yeah, they went to the NLCS twice under McCourt and then bottomed out..and now they've increased their win total in 5 consecutive seasons, so you're wrong about the results on the field as well.



    and you weren't able to explain it back then either.

    Gardner is worth 4/52..so then why is Ellsbury worth 7/153? do you understand what i'm getting at here?



    no, i said the Yankees are on the bottom of the O's/Sox' shoes. both the Sox and Yankees missed the playoffs last year, but the year before the Sox took it all the way and right now they're a better team than the Yankees ( which is most important). Sox have a better farm, better young MLB level players, and better core veterans than the Yankees do. and their front office is better than the Yankees' as well.



    Gregorius. Lol Yankees are still handing out 100+M contracts to 30 year olds, dude. loading up Beltran and McCann..probably rooting against ARod so that he doesn't get his bonuses (Lol), and Tex..smh.



    na, they've only offered half of Ethier's contract so far and for them that's just half of the deal because they want the right return. they target guys on opposing teams and wait. if they don't get them, they keep shopping. they went to Seattle and Baltimore with Kemp on the trade block and asked for Paxton/Walker/Bundy and obviously they couldn't get them, so they moved on to SD on Kemp's behalf and SD wanted to make it happen. so they wait.

    Then why did he he take Bostons offer to NY? We said we wouldn't go over 25 million, but there he was with Bostons offer in hand.

    We didn't lose though, we said no, night and day difference.

    Not according to baseball reference http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=moncad000joh

    welcome to being a contender, a few regular season wins don't mean shit if the team regresses once it gets into the playoffs. Last year you bottomed out in NLDS and looked like you had no business even being there.

    nope, your worth what your contract states. Gardner gets 4/52 because that the deal he signed.

    when the guys from the farm are called up and produce, sure but for now they are minor leaguers and the Sox blew it thinking that Lester would just come home and he didn't. They have a shit rotation and little hope of making a big leap forward this year. they have two thirdbaseman and sticking one in left field. That team is not looking good at all.

    There are definitely some roster issues in NY with guaranteed contracts in MLB. This is why the dodgers are paying 40 million to guys not even on the team anymore.

    Meanwhile roster spots are taken and the guys like Joc have no way to get a call up.

    Moncada didn't sign with the Yankees because someone fucked up the negotiations. Name is Felix Lopez look for an article about it. So you're wrong about that.


    And the contender thing... kindly fuck off lol you know damn well the Playoffs are a crapshoot. If Kershaw wins game 1 we probably win the series. Sorry your team never loses in the playoffs.... wait

    Joc will be our opening day CF buddy

    nope. they lost.

    http://m.mlb.com/news/article/10894...-yoan-moncada-to-top-middle-infield-prospects

    Moncada has more than enough range and the hands for second and third base, his main positions in Cuba and his likely home in the big leagues. He has seen action at shortstop, though he looked uncomfortable there during a heavily attended workout in Guatemala in November and is unlikely to get deployed there. Moncada also has spent time in center field, where his speed and arm would work well.



    and the year before probably the best hitter in MLB at the time got hit in the ribs in Game 1 of the NLCS..point being, anything can happen in the post season.

    but the Dodgers are in good shape going forward, so this isn't about them..this back and forth is rooted on the state of the sorry ass Yankees that can't even make it to the crap shoot anymore..lookin like Larry Holmes at the end of his career, all flabby and sick.



    well then Ellsbury's contract states that he's one of the 5 best outfielders in the game and that's a lie.



    and the Sox' rotation is still better than the Yankees' rotation.

    you think the Yankees look good as an org right now, so you obviously can't be trusted to make these judgements. Mookie Betts is better than anything the Yankees have goin..and that includes Yankee veterans. i only wonder how good Betts would be in the senior circuit and away from those AL East little league fields.



    the difference is that the current Yankee FO just signed those guys. Lol meanwhile, the Dodgers' current FO is doing spring cleaning and thinking more about the returns that they get. tell Cashman to hop on the phone and see if anyone's biting on ARod..Hahahahaha.



    " guys like Joc "..no. wrong again. nobody's blocking Seager and Urias..Dodgers have been very good about keeping their flexibility. their ETA's are 2016 and beyond.
