I caught just a bit of the interview. I heard him talked about a deal that would have sent Valentine to M's for Freddy Garcia but that didnt happen. Also he said the deal for Konerko and dodgers is still there but Evans cant make any moves because a new ownership might take over and Evans might be shown the door.

 

If anybody else heard that interview, just add anything on it or correct me if I misunderstood some info.

Hopefully the Dodgers ownership gets settled quickly. It doesn't seem as if McCourt is goin to be able to buy the team since most of his money to buy it would come from loans. If that's the case, I still think Paulie goes to LA but not for Perez.

There's also some guy named Gange (I don't know if you heard of him of not.. :lol: ) but they do not have too many "horrible" players. Their pitching looks great for the future (jackson,miller,hanrahan (sp?) and theyve got some good young hitters in the minors as well. The only guy I can think of who they REALLY overpaid for is Driffort but they could have done better with their team if it wasn't for Evans.

shawn green made close to 16 mill last year for 85 rbis and 20 home runs, ashby made 8.5 mill era of 5.18, fred mcgriff made 3.5 mill last year for a 240 batting average. todd hudley made 6.5 mill last year with a .182 batting average those are all player way over paid. if u want to take on all that for gagne then you are one stupid buisness man.

 

 

and there prospects are just that prospects who knows how they will turn out remeber jon rauch was minor league pitcher of the year and look what he has done.

Actually, most of LA's s***ty contracts were in place when Evans arrived. Danny's major f*** up was Hundley. Most of the rest can be blamed on Kevin Malone.

Shawn Green had a bad year just like Konerko. Yes, both are overpaid, but they are not "horrible" players. The dodgers management did not do a good job with ashby definitely. And Todd Hundley's been overpaid forever! (I'm still laughing how much the scrubs paid this guy :lol: ) What do teams see in hundley? :bang

Thx Rex. I didn't know that. looks like dodger fans won't be blaming Evans for almost everything. :drink

shawn green only hit more than 30+ homers and 100+ rbis 4 out of 9 years in his carrer and that gets him close to 16 mill a year???

Dude, I just said both he and konerko are both OVERPAID. I'm trying to get the point across that they are not "horrible" players. Shawn Green is a good player who's been putting up decent #'s the last 3 seasons. He's prob. around c. lee type money maybe alittle more. Like Rex, said that was dodger management who screwed up the contracts.

Thats like saying Maggs is a "horrible" player because he's being overpaid 14 million this season. I don't know if u think he is or not. ;) I do not agree with that method. Horrible players are players who get these big contracts and are also bad with the bat and glove. I would call green and konerko underachievers. But since i know u'll post something else to back up your arguement, i'll agree with you. Lets not worry about the dodgers and worry about our own team. :headbang

there is a huge differance in green and maggs :) maggs is one of the most consistent hitters in baseball and green is not. 14 mill a year is not overpaid its just the sox cant afford it :bang

As a Dodgers fan I can say that Evans is not to blame 100%, the Hundley deal looked OK at first because Grudz and Karros had big contracts and were doing nothing LA for a year or two, the year with the Cubs for both was a comeback year.

 

I do blame Evans for McGriff and the over all lack of offense last year, signing Ricky was not a legitimate move, they have enough young arms to trade one or two for a legitimate bat

I agree :D But 14 million is still alot for a player who only hits .310-30-100 every year. (esp. in this smaller money market) if he was hitting .320-40-120 then prob.(maybe even more) but hey ur right :usa
