Didn't the Rockies basically do the same thing last year with the Parra signing? They got him thinking they'd trade one of their outfielders for pitching help, but of course that totally got rid of any leverage they might've had, so they ended up settling for that very meh McGee-Dickerson swap. Any sort of offseason strategy for the Rockies not centered around acquiring Good Starting Pitching seems moot.

Losing Jansen would be sad. "Pedro Baez, Closer" is a very melancholy prospect. Conversely, not paying a reliever $80 million+ while getting a #13 pick (if he goes to the Marlins) would be cool and good. IDK.

If they can swing it financially without getting too out of whack with new CBA rules or jeopardizing a JT reunion, then yeah, do it please.

The Adam/Drake Laroche saga: still unbelievably hilarious.

We have a relative lack of Dodgers posters in SAS these days and sometimes I overcompensate, sorry. Posting to help offset the void of Dodger fans in SAS, and to say that I am quite pleased with the continuing Dodger-ness of Kenley Jansen, Justin Turner and Rich Hill

I can't help but think that JDL being pushed so hard as the Dozier centerpiece screwed with his perceived value. Shades of what happened with Washington's failed Sale package. Makes it that much easier to trade a guy if he's been very obviously written out of team plans for the past two months. As for Forsythe, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that we were going to a get a proven right-handed bat to fill the hole at second base, and (beyond Dozier) he made the most sense. Kinsler would've required an extension and thus wasn't going to happen. Profar and Solarte would've cost more than Forsythe. I truthfully don't know much about Cesar Hernandez. Beyond them, you're left with like...Kolten Wong, Chase Utley, Josh Harrison, Brandon Phillips, Enrique Hernandez (in-house) etc as possible replacements...no thanks. UZR IS BULLSHIT posted:I guess I haven't paid close enough attention since the NLCS, I didn't realize Alvarez and Bellinger had moved past JDL in the prospect rankings. Yeah, he has dropped off in esteem. I don't think most people see him as more than a potential #3 guy with a #2 ceiling. Alvarez and Bellinger are the ones to keep, especially with A-Gon possibly about to fall off a cliff. However, it is odd that JDL + some combination of prospects aside from those two weren't enough to get Dozier. I guess the FO is serious about holding onto the Brock Stewarts and Walker Buehlers of the organization.

Just giving their roster a cursory look, couldn't the Braves end up being somewhat decent this year? Pitching looks messy, but their 1-8 isn't bad at all.
