No shit?
Hence my counterexamples to the idea that first base is easy to fill because of the supposedly readily available offensive talent.

Because they are all premium bats?Originally Posted by realmofotalk
And let's not pretend what people pay is actually a good measure of value and/or talent. We've seen bidding wars over the most marginal of players. We've had books written on that inefficiency.

Gil Meche once got 11 mill.
He once gave it up too
And that inefficiency is exactly why Carlos Lee is all I have to look forward to as a trade target just to upgrade over James fucking Loney at first base. You just made my point for me.
Your point was the Astros have no money and want to dump salary?

And the lack of alternatives within the Dodgers' organization and in the trade market?
There's also likely to be LaHair. I have no idea who will be available. Why didn't you guys sign Pena?

Anthony Rizzo!
Marshall: MILSWANCAs?
Ted: Wait, I can get this. Mothers I'd like to sleep with and never call again.
Barney: Circle gets the square!

Rizzo would be a huge fucking upgrade over Loney, I must admit. Alas, l can probably expect Travis Ishikawa to be our blockbuster trade deadline acquisition.
Feel free to deal for LaHair. Though I doubt that any team is willing to pony up what Thehoyer is willing to accept at this point.

See? First base is so easy to fill, you guys.
Why didn't we sign Randy Johnson?
Why didn't we trade Beltre for Pedro?
Why didn't we sign Ichiro out of Japan?
Why didn't we have a young Vicente Padilla to flip for Curt Schilling?
Why didn't we trade Dee Gordon for Cliff Lee?
Why didn't we draft Giancarlo Stanton with either one of our first round picks?
Going down this path is never ending. Just fucking once I want MY team to make THE move that kicks everyone else's asses.
