Dodger GM, and apparent TQ...ViG mouthpiece, Ned Coletti cut another interview with the LA Times saying everything we want to hear. In brief: no interest in trading Broxton, Billingsley and Kershaw are radical, and Kemp and Loney could be Miguel Cabrera in the next few years. So, more of the same, but basically everything we want to hear.
This recent trend has lead me to draw one of the following conclusions: (1) Mr. Falcon has whipped up the sweetest moustachioed GM mask the world has ever seen or (2) Mr. Coletti is now on the blog's payroll. If this second conclusion proves accurate, I would like to make my official, public request to also be added to the blog payroll. If the first proves true, I would like this horrid shrew dragged through the streets, drawn, and quartered by sundown.

FLA wanted Kemp, Loney, Kershaw, AND another player??? Fucking amazing. That's wierd b/c they took a bunch of Donkey-raping-shit-eaters from Detroit Rock City. They didn't get any players that have had any success in the show. Kemp/Loney were big prospects that have had amazing success during substantial time in the bigs.
All the trade demands have led me to the following conclusion... GMs don't assign a certain value to another team's young players and then try to get value "x". They just determine who are the top 3-4 young players under that team's control. Then they demand those players, regardless of their actual worth.
It seems as if it doesn't matter if one team's young players are substantially better than another team's. They just ask for young guy #1, #2, and #3. If the team says no, they ask the next team for young guy #1, #2, and #3.
I think this is why we won't be making any big trades AND why every team wants to make a big trade with us. Our 3-4 top young guys are really good. They should have more value than another team's, but apparently they don't.
Therefore, no use trading them at some lower value
Also, if I was impersonating Colletti I would still say some stupid shit (as he did in the article) just to keep it believable...so maybe it was me.
Giants have an incurable disease that prevents them from winning championships. Bobby, it's not too late to switch sides. Go buy a Russell Martin jersey and call it a day. We already know you're a fair-weather guy anyway. After all, you became a Giants fan around 1999.
There is no blog payroll. All of our immense profits are being redirected into Br!ian's black-sploitation film project mentioned in a previous thread.
And NEVER post pictures of Nancy B again. That shit is gonna give me nightmares. Also, the drawing and quartering thing won't work. You have to cut that bitch's head off like the Highlander if you want to put an end to her reign of terror.
Senor Falcon, Cameron Maybin, Andrew Miller and Mike Rabelo are all SOLID prospects. It's not a shitty deal for the Marlins.
Ya i know. I just like to say donkey-raping-shit-eaters.
However, the players FLA managed from LA were better and they've has much more big league success.
Mr. Falcon is right on about his first post. A very wise man posted the following stats on MLBTR just to show how wide the disparity is between the MLB success of the Dodgers' "prospects" and the guys that Detroit had to give up to get Miggy and Willis (note that the other four guys in the deal have little to zero MLB experience).
Loney: 344 AB, .331/.381/.538 (and he plays gold glove caliber 1B)
Kemp: 292 AB, .342/.373/.521 (he's also faster than Pierre)
Billingsley: 12-5, 3.31 ERA, 1.33 WHIP
Maybin: .473 OPS in 49 ABs
Miller: 5-5, 5.62 ERA, 1.75 WHIP
How are these packages comparable at all? 3 sure-fire all stars going into their second full season of big league ball are NOT prospects!
Those are just the numbers for last season by the way before anybody runs to baseball prospectus and shits themselves.
