Moreland's deal is fine. The reason they can't sign Arrieta is that the owe Hanley and Panda 40M+ this year. If Ben didn't sign those stiffs, they'd be in a much better position this year.

Well, if he plays like he did last year, he won't get 30/per. It also greatly depends on what the market looks like after next offseason.
I think you could get Mookie for a 10/200 deal. He may rather a shorter deal at higher dollars that gets him another FA contract earlier in his career.
In hindsight, everyone should admit that I was the only one right about what Devers could do last year and you should all send pizza and beer to my house as reparations for me to have to listen to you disagreeing with me.
In hindsight, Dodgerblues should have won the Message Board Wars of 2008 so that we wouldn't all be wasting so much time on here and would be living much more productive lives.
Year from now we will be glad Moustakas is not on this team, with Devers at 3rd. We'll have to get through some growing pains on his Defense, but it will improve. KC signed him probably to deal him during season, and get Prospects. They are rebuilding.|
GM's around the league thought he was overrated for the money he was asking.
I don't think I ever criticized you for that opinion, but yes, you were right.
Right or wrong, GMs are usually judged in hindsight. Ben should have known Pablo & HRam were going to suck and so on.... Theo should have known CC was about to implode.
I'm not being critical of DD on signing JD. I was critical of the Moreland signing before he even signed him, so that is not "hindsight" in my case.
Moose was a steal. We missed out on him. He cost the same as Moreland, but for just 1 year.
Even moving Moose to 1B and keeping Devers at 3B would have been better than signing Moreland. Why is it so wrong to point that out? I hear people pointing out Ben's mistakes years afterwards.
