Well, hopefully the Dodgers are scheduled to play the Netherlands a dozen or so times after the All Star break, as Pedro is looking like Cy Young against them. Then again, some of those guys playing for the Netherlands I hear have real jobs as glass blowers.
Apparently we want Peetie for the league minimum? How about a cool million, with incentives that'll push him up to 2 million? Go the entire season without getting hurt, and he has his choice of shacking up with Paris Hilton or one of the girls from the Hills? Have a 2:1 strikeout to walk ratio, and you get a personal suite at the Commerce Casino hotel.
Too bad his personal midget perished, or else he could've well been the Dodgers' answer to the Rally Monkey.
Imagine having him in the locker room? Too bad Jeff Kent's not around anymore, or else that would've been some entertaining conversations.
Seriously, spring training for the players is good for three things...
1) Seeing if injuries have healed
2) Position battles
3) Getting into shape
Non-roster invitees and minor leaguers are getting playing time.
Predicting success in spring training would also then include Pittsburgh winning their division and Boston finishing last in theirs based on current standings.
On second thought, that would be awesome.
After all the speculation....to the Phillies.
So where do you think Halladay is going to land?
Would you trade Kershaw for Halladay straight up if you were the Dodger's GM?
TD
I say you just trade the whole Doyers squad for Mexico's Olympic team!!!!!!
