  1. Ramos signing is newsworthy?

    How about the Twins getting Odorizzi for an A League infielder?

    Guess we don’t need him. We have Stripling and Stewart and Buehler and Urias and Font and Santana and….. Henry Owens?

    We will again have 11 5 inning starters and Kershaw. Depth. I think the real test will be depth in the bullpen. We also have a pretty good lineup and a fairly good bench. Hope we score a lot of runs. Last year we were 12th in runs scored. Sort of middle of the pack. The World Champions led MLB in runs. I’d like to see us move up the ladder in that stat. We were much higher than that in OPS, OBP, and SLG, lower than that in AVG. Let’s hit better and who knows, it might actually translate into runs scored.

    Just another indication of how little FAZ does to improve the team with good solid ballplayers. They are betting on the come from the garbage heap and the minors. I tell ya, it will backfire sooner or later. I don’t see the Dodger offensive numbers improving with no additions to amount to anything. I vote for Colletti to come back.

    1. It’s a workable paragon for them. What they are doing is nothing more than a tax reset. Teams like KC and Miami have to rebuild. We can win the West and reset the tax cap at the same time. It’s good to be rich, don’t you think?
