Dodgers should sign Clayton Kershaw, long term

Found January 25, 2012 on LA Times:
PLAYERS: Clayton Kershaw,  Prince Fielder
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers,  Milwaukee Brewers,  Detroit Tigers

Dodgers_pitcher_kershaw_2e19
Gap between Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw's $10 million arbitration request and Dodgers' $6.5 million offer is huge, and nothing good can come if it goes to a hearing. A multiyear deal sounds better.Prince Fielder was fool's gold, and Dodgers fans shouldn't waste one moment of regret that the big lug will spend the next nine years clogging the payroll, the basepaths and eventually the training room for the Detroit Tigers.

Final (Opening) Bids Due Today!

Via Sons of Steve Garvey  |  January 23, 2012
The Dodgers' sale process formally begins today! And the key point from the LAT's Bill Shaikin is, don't cry for Frank McCourt: How much money does McCourt need to break even? That could be a billion-dollar question. In a court filing last week, the Dodgers listed $573 million in debt. McCourt has the option to sell or keep the Dodger Stadium parking lots, but the...

James Loney Makes Top Five List...Of Most Frustrating Players

Via Sons of Steve Garvey  |  January 23, 2012
Geez, this was really not where I wanted to find FJL. However I have to say that at least from the Dodgers' perspective, the enigma that is Loney is indeed a point of frustration: As a Mariners fan in the 1980s, one player absolutely wrecked me above all others: Jim Presley. He was a third baseman with good power, a quick bat and a strong arm. In 1985, his first full season...
