    Dodgers have unlimited funds, we dont.

    But yes, you're right.

    Meh, hard to win a WS, more times you make the playoffs, get hot and win it all eventually.

    The #Mets, #Nationals, #Dodgers, #SFGiants are all in mix for Zobrist. Andrew Friedman is a big Zobrist fan from Tampa days.

    Sign him. Take the chance on him getting healthy, then flip him.

    I'd pass. He'll sign for more than he's worth. He's already 27 and is more than likely a 2B who is average-at-best defensively with a pretty good OBP, little power, and little speed.

    Alvarez is Miami's Mike Minor.. no need to waste a roster spot on him.

    Except Alvarez is arguably better and would cost less.

I'm not trying not to sound like an old crank here, but if you can't get into the ballpark for less than $50 to $60 these days. If you want to take your family, you almost have to take out a second mortgage. Some of that's simple inflation, but prices for everything involved at the ballpark have greatly outpaced that. We can blame either or both sides of the equation, but that doesn't blunt the fact that fans are paying a lot more to get to the game.

    Funny you mention that. I was just telling someone the other day about having to pause and back up when watching Field Of Dreams the other night. Costner and James Earl Jones at Fenway after the "kidnapping" when Roy asks "what do you want" and has to point out that they're standing in front of the hot dog stand. "Dog and a beer" and Roy holds up two fingers. The vendor hands them over and says "seven bucks".

    SEVEN BUCKS FOR TWO HOT DOGS AND BEERS AT FENWAY.

    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I'm a fan, but probably not a great use of resources in our current state.

    Add to the stats that Pelfrey is a bit of a rockhead. He's a tease though. Had a few outings for the Twins last year that made one remember why he was once so highly prized, but if he's getting $8MM per, I might bring out my glove and work on my eephus.
