    First Schmidt, then Uribe, then Brian Wilson, then Romo, with a Eugenia Velez mixed in there, can’t wait til we sign Hunter Pence and Brandon Belt one day

    Rays are said to be closing in on a deal that could net them over $80M annually in local TV revenue(currently around $20-30M). This plus revenue sharing getting into the $50M range next season and a new stadium on the horizon could finally take that franchise out of the cellar. They'd still probably hover around the $100M mark in salary, but it'd be nice to see them finally spend some freaking money down there.

    I see no problem with signing Timmy, probably only costs a couple million bucks (with a ton of incentives), if he sucks, cut bait.

    eh, if his stuff is really back up a tick over what it was a couple years ago(as is the rumor), then he is worth flyer for the bullpen.

    What you guys don't know was Timmy's weed was the cause of the Giants success.

    From what I have been told, it was a lot more than just weed.

    Don't forget Kemp having an MVP season while having mediocre OBP and substandard D leading the Dodgers to the WS victory that gives all analytics an aneurysm.

    After a bad experience, I was a little apprehensive about weed with loads of 'crystals' on the nuggs.
    I mean I don't even drink Folgers because them crystal shit does not seem natural.

    The last time he had an ERA under 4 was in 2011. Looking decent by throwing all-out in a 25-pitch session doesn't even begin to erase his six years of futility. Let someone else make that mistake. We should've learned from the Romo signing, and at least there you could chalk it up to being a PR move since he grew up a Dodger fan and his family are diehards.

    espn...

    Los Angeles Dodgers: Settling on an outfield mix

    "We have as much outfield depth as anyone in baseball, and there are only so many at-bats to go around,'' manager Dave Roberts said. "So it's going to be fun to see how that plays itself out.''

    Chris Taylor is a given in center field after logging an .850 OPS last season, but he won't have the luxury of sneaking up on people this time around. Yasiel Puig, who hit 28 homers and slugged .487, is a fixture in right. Left field is the mystery position. Andrew Toles is working his way back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, and Joc Pederson would like to bottle the magic from October, when he salvaged a rough year with three home runs and a .944 slugging percentage in the World Series. Pederson has a .184/.278/.321 career slash line vs. lefties, so he's strictly a platoon guy at this stage of his career.

    The Dodgers also are keeping an eye on prospect Alex Verdugo, who slashed .314/.389/.436 in Triple-A and is pushing to expedite his timetable at age 21.

    Matt Kemp lost a reported 40 pounds over the winter and showed up in a positive frame of mind. But how upbeat will he be if it's mid-April and he's stuck on the bench? The Dodgers owe Kemp $43 million over the next two years and made every attempt to move him after acquiring him from Atlanta in mid-December. He's still around, and now it's up to Roberts and the coaching staff to make the arrangement work. "Fun'' isn't the word that immediately springs to mind.​

    Dave the Slave echoing the deep Costner-like traditional bullshit wisdom for the fans and masses.
    You're right, Irish...one man's "fun", is another man's gun none uh, misery.
