Those are pretty big if's the Dodgers cannot afford to make.

[heyyah42]

Im just saying that that would be cool

And we dont wanna spend 20 mil a year for Manny when we have Jones with less of a attitude and is young.

[love_that_reefer]

Jones might be young in years but this will be his 14th season coming up and he is out of shape. It would be great for the Dodgers if Schmidt and Jones could return to even 75% of what they use to be but the Dodgers have to be prepared for the worst. Jones has been in a steep decline and there is no evidence that he could turn things around. Schmidt is just an injury waiting to happen. Schmidt did a lot of good for the Giants and I wish him all the best but I just don't see him coming back to form.

Andruw Jones has less of an attitude than Manny? What is that, a ****ing joke? Manny happened to the professional who exceeded everyone's expectations during his brief time as a Dodger. Meanwhile, Jones feels he is entitled to a trade just because he's too big of an asshole to redeem himself after stealing $9 million from the organization.

[love_that_reefer]

Manny acted like a real pro in Boston.

[heyyah42]

I think that after are first signing, then everything will fall into place.

I think we sign Blake before the meetings, so that we can finish the infield, and get 2-3 pitchers.

Depending on the players we get we also could get an outfielder. Dunn, Ibanez, Manny, Burrell

[heyyah42]

Hopefully Manny sign arbitration.

We will have so much money next year.

We could get a younger outfielder next year.

Next years infield FA look pretty good too

Martin
Loney
Dewitt
Trade For SS
Blake
Manny
Kemp

Our playoff team without Furcal

If we can sign Blake, a 4th/5th pitcher and Manny (for arbitration), we'll we be able to sign CC

[heyyah42]

Maybe we can bring the lineup back
I heard that the A's are done with Furcal for now

Martin
Loney
Dewitt
Furcal
Blake
Manny
Kemp
Either

Bills
Kuroda
Perez
Johnson
Kershaw

Im still not sure if it works finacially.

[heyyah42]

Reply with my team'

[love_that_reefer]

If Perez is Oliver Perez then it doesn;t look that bad.

[heyyah42]

Does it work financially

[realmofotalk]

But wouldn't you rather have Frank and Jamie McCourt spend the money on 50 youth baseball fields instead of on Manny, Furcal, and CC?

"If you bring somebody in to play and pay them, pick a number, $30 million, does that seem a little weird to you? That's what we're trying to figure out. We're really trying to see it through the eyes of our fans. We're really trying to understand, would they rather have 50 fields?"

[heyyah42]

Maybe like 10 fields not fifty.

Also I saw that they had like pools, skateparks, and a bunch of other unnessesary things.
