    i feel like we kind of glossed over the guy who is in this thread arguing with himself on 3 different accounts

    then I’ll watch KB bat against a Mets pitcher and be immediately sad again but then imagine if kb got to bat against our pitching

    if you feel bad about losing a top hitting prospect for 3.5 years of a very good pitcher, just watch some russell/soler/baez/almora at-bats

    i'm having a hard time coping with the dodgers being this good. now that i've experienced the 2016 postseason, i'm less jealous of teams like the astros and dodgers dominating the regular season, because i know they still have to win like a million excruciatingly tense games over a month to make it matter

    Not when that player is only under contract for a couple more months and can be used to immediately fill a hole in the rotation for the next 6 to 7 years. what?
  23. 17 Seconds
    sometimes it actually is good to keep one of your best players

    i don't doubt that they would reeeeeallly like to avoid large contracts for relievers, but i think the pitching situation is in such peril that they almost don't have much of a choice. they went with the all hitter approach to building the team, which is great, but it also meant they'd likely be in this situation at some point. if you only develop hitting then you have to pay for pitching, and paying for real pitching comes with the risk. it would be nice if theo could keep pulling guys like jake and hendricks out of his ass, but you can't count on that. definitely not for 2018, at least. with arrieta and lackey on the way out, we already have a tough task of filling out the 2018 rotation to a point of acceptable confidence, and losing davis just makes it even more difficult.

    they play the same position, so carl will still be in carl's spot he traded big assets for short term control of 2 different relievers recently. if he values elite relievers that much, i'd think any unease from a longer term version would be outweighed by the abundance of current payroll flexibility and a desperate need for pitching in the organization. also, i'm sure theo knows that trading a valuable asset for a dominant relief rental each season is not a long-term strategy. We will see. I don't believe this front office believes in giving multi year, big money to a closer. It's why they traded for them instead. And, again, I think they are comfortable putting Carl there and spending less on the guys setting him up. that argument still makes no sense. you have 2 dominant relievers. if you let 1 go, you only have 1 dominant reliever. they're both allowed to pitch in the same game too
