kitekrazy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 08:10 PM) That proposed Boston salary dump again shows how DUMB baseball owners are. All they do are slobber over these players in the offseason and sign them to HUGE contracts, then desperately try to get rid of the salaries during the season. It's insane. Unfortunately the people who have suffered because of these moronic baseball owners are the fans. Prices didn't have to go up, up, up if owners would never have decided to overpay these guys in the first place. They better hope there's not another deep recession or a true depression, cause these teams might finally go broke. Baseball owners would make great Washington politicians. They follow the same pattern. Over spend, pass the costs to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbaho-WG Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 08:12 PM) I think it just goes to show you how much money some of them have. If this goes through, look at the money the Dodgers will have picked up during the season. It has to be a record. Dodgers management is loaded. They overpaid for the franchise by like $200-$300 million. They clearly don't give a s*** about cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Great power comeback for Ramirez in the 2nd half of this season. Nice to see it's still there. By the way, are there two more similar disappointments at 2B than Beckham and Ackley? Almost eerily similar overall stats. Dustin's a better baserunner, wonder if they would consider trading those guys for each other? Richie Weeks is the other guy mentioned a lot, but so much more expensive.

And the Dodgers are going to have a crazy payroll. That might not even put the Dodgers over the luxury tax. They were stripped to the bones by McCourt.

caulfield12 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 John Henry was very outspoken about never wanting Crawford on those terms. Kind of threw his administrative team under the bus and it's been downhill ever since with KFC Gate, Francona, Youk, the booing at Old Timer's Day, bullpen issues galore, Valentine hate, Bard, Beckett falling apart physically....David Ortiz has been about the only positive for that franchise this year.
