Selling the pastoral fantasy in hi-def: 2016 DODGERS of Dave Roberts

The Dodgers pitching staff is in bad shape, as Clayton Kershaw remains out with a back injury that could require surgery, and Alex Wood is set to undergo arthroscopic elbow debridement surgery. As a result, Los Angeles is expected to look to land a top-of-the-rotation starter at the deadline.

Sooooo. Justin Turner. Would you give this guy a $100m contract? He's a QO sure thing either way.

Sub question - would you give kenley jansen a 75m contract?

carthago delenda est (mayor jingleberries), Saturday, 23 July 2016 03:14 (seven years ago) link

hell no and maybe

This is my fault

carthago delenda est (mayor jingleberries), Saturday, 23 July 2016 03:20 (seven years ago) link

The kenley appeal is he's a converted position player who hasn't pitched a lot of innings

carthago delenda est (mayor jingleberries), Saturday, 23 July 2016 03:21 (seven years ago) link

well the subtext is that the dodgers -- fuck them! -- can afford a terrible contract. relievers are popular and kenley's pretty good after all

love justin turner but c'mon he'll be 32 in november

I haven't paid too close attention, but is this more because of his personality?

Huh. Reddick is having an awful year on defense. Would never have guessed based on his reputation:

dang!!! pulling pitcher who has perfect game going w/ only 89 pitches before he starts the eighth. i know he's (Rich Hill) had blister issues, but he was SO good last week against the giants as well. . . aaaandd, Marlins just got a hit

And they had a 5-0 lead so there wasn't much danger of losing the game.

In the postgame, Hill faithfully recited the lines he was fed by the front office but he looked pissed off and said his finger felt fine.
