Dodgers = rebuilding.

If so, good trade for them. If they think they are going to contend this year (meaning they will get a few guys in like Mags and Konerko) this is sh!tbox. Glad to get rid of Green; rotation gets younger; not sure why they had to give up on Penny.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Cue evil empire music

yes yes yes!

Excellent pick up for The Yankees. It will be interesting to see if and how Boston reponds.

I don't think they gave up on Penny as much as upgraded with Vasquez. Last post season aside that guy is a stud.

also Hudson to the Braves

Dodgers win huuuuuuuuuge. Duncan looks really good, Navarro looks good and Vasquez is better than he was last year.

If the Yankees get Johnson then they may not need Jesus.

I agree, I just caution against them overpaying (especially in years) for a marginal bat. The big hitters are off the market, so they should focus on the overhaul this year and develop some players, and look for more trades.

However, I did hear just now, the Dogers are making a play for Helton. That would be a nice pickup.

I thought they were right in not over paying for Belre. He has disappointed every year but the one prior to him being a free agent.

I may have to become a Dogder Fan, even though they did let me down in the playoffs and I lost a couple of sawbucks.

Still its: Go Mariners and Diamondbacks.
