thats a pretty scary offense though.

love the way LA and colorado are looking to make themselves better

if overpaying for old guys scares you...

they saved us from giving Uribe WAY too much money, and if they get Michael Young, theyre getting a 34 year old whos due 16 mil a season for 3 years. Young isnt the same player he used to be. if the other NL West teams want to go with this strategy, so be it.

btw Adrian Gonzalez and Mark Reynolds have been traded out of the division. although i have to say i will miss all those K's we used to rack up on Reynolds...

Are they supposed to go out and make themselves worse so life is easier for the Giants? Lol

Hell yes. It can be just like the NL Central when the Cubs, Pirates, Astros do nothing to improve their teams. Oh wait.. Chicago signed Carlos Pena. That should scare the Cards.

Did they really? Lol

Dodgers Agree To Sign Dioner Navarro

The Dodgers agreed to sign Dioner Navarro, according to Dylan Hernandez of the LA Times (on Twitter). The deal is pending a physical. The Rays non-tendered the former Dodger last week after his tenure in Tampa Bay ended on a sour note.

Haha..he's not bad. His average is pathetic, but I'd take his HR and RBI #'s.

Regardless, f**k the Cubs.
