    We need a Zaidi-siren smiley to use on VRP and our other saber guys.

    What unlimited payroll?

    Snap out of it man. :snap out of it:

    The Dodgers are trying to compete without having to stretch their payroll to the record lengths it reached this season, $240 million, by emphasizing scouting and player development.

    LOL

    Unlimited in the relative sense of the word. "A high payroll"? Is that better? Certainly enough money to put together something very special with the right minds behind it.

    Here we go....now it'll be about moneyball. Whatever shit rolls down the hill for us, we'll find a weak link and it'll be a snafu as usual for us. In fact I know where ours is and who it is right now.
    I also ask myself, with a rap sheet like this Zaidi has, incredibly educated, a doctorate, undergraduate at MIT, blah and double genius blah, WTF is he doing in baseball?
    I mean I love BB baseball too, as we all do, and root for a team that sort of plays a really good version of it sometimes, and all the "gotta do what a man's gotta do" BS aside, it's a game, and couldn't a guy like him improve the world over a BB team lineup?
    You'know, like the kid Kershaw is trying to do by spending his money helping Africans?

    Is there a team psychiatrist? Or is that DBB's job, too?

    This board is falling apart over upgrades coming the Dodgers. We can go back to NedCo if you guys like?

    How dare you use logic. It's all about the bases loaded narrative!

    Nah, I'm just saying we can upgrade the front office all we want, but until we upgrade the product on the field it's all just happy horse shit. I'm confident changes will be made to get the team going in the right direction, but some here have us winning a World Series because we changed the suits in FO.

    I'm with you. Optimistic, but reserved until we see the team.

    His WAR has to be around 10 if he's replacing Ned

    That's why we've hired them. Just waiting for the light bulb to go off in some of your heads...

    I get what you're saying, but it's definitely a better position than the one we were in before. To me, upgrading is never something to complain about.
