    He wins us a World Series and he's a god in LA for the rest of his life. I am sure he knows this.

    Definitely want him to help LAD win a title and won't downplay that.
    However, I'd just have an appreciation for a superstar stud free agent in his prime finally signing and landing with the Dodgers..have we ever had that? Like ever? I mean, Gibby was 30-31 when he signed, IIRC
    This would be a big step for this org
    Do we count Greinke as a superstar?

    Yeah they're bat shit crazy on It's Always Sunny
    Especially Dennis
    The last season was kind of weak and it may be time they wrap it up, but gotdamn it was great when it was rolling
    Don't want to see them Roy Jones Jr. themselves and damage their legacy Lol

    Couple of things that are interesting to me.
    1. Paulo Orlando has been getting a solid number of AB's and PT early on in spring. He has been pretty meh/awful the last couple of years, but I have always felt he is a pretty athletic dude. Not to mention, he is away from the Royals organization that is not one of the most forward thinking franchises in the game. I have liked some of the AB's I've seen out of him this spring and he could be getting an extended look early on due to some of the other rumors out in the universe. Or cause Toles is MIA.
    2. The Twins have done a solid job this offseason of adding some good players to their org and still have their fingers crossed on some bouncebacks. Then we get Byron Buxton coming out the gates looking like superman. There is some speculation that this could cause the Indians to act sooner rather than later on their holes in the OF. This does not mean that Kluber or even Bauer could be on the menu, but it could make for an easy partner for the Dodgers if they need to open up a spot in the OF, especially if the Dodgers are comfortable with some of the depth that they have.

    You'll need to turn on the George Michael (RIP) Sports Machine to find it was Daryl Strawberry. :)

    WTF is up with Toles? Head, shoulders, knees and Toles. I miss that.
    He's not a part of that LAD/Kapler/sexual assault investigation from years back in Glendale, is he? Is he bagging groceries again?
    Where is this man that was slugging in the top half of the league at his position?

    Based on what, though? Not calling you out, genuinely curious, but I think Arenado is every bit as good as those two guys.

    Playing in Colorado May have padded his stats, but I think his splits are still good.

    He had an OPS of close to .900 in 2017 (his best season) on the road, which pretty damn good. Arenado would be elite anywhere, I think.

    Last year he was down on the road a bit. But the previous like 3 or 4 seasons in a row he was up around an .850 or better OPS on the road I believe, maybe an .830-ish mixed in there somewhere, something like that. Pretty solid in combination with all-time defensive ability and daily competitive fire

    And how did that work out for the Lakers?

    Let Philly sign Harper.

    I think we can agree that the Dodgers are closer to a championship than the Lakers are. And that much was evident before LeBron played one game for the Lakers.

    He has no responsibility to anyone but himself and his family. Despite being a member of "union," these guys are individual contractors.

    If not responsibility, certainly pressure.

    For what it’s worth, my source who is close to Bryce Harper tells me #Dodgers and #Cubs were 1st choices all along and he prefers not to sign with #Phillies. I’ve been hearing all winter that Harper does not want to play for Gabe Kapler due to analytics and quirky personality





    Cubbies because of his buddy Bryant
