The Dodgers are retarded. Josh Beckett who is clubhouse poison and ineffective more often than not? Carl Crawford who was overpaid and just had surgery? Really? How do these NL east teams (looking at NY and now Boston) always somehow manage to get off awful contracts? Meanwhile the Mets are stuck still paying off players who haven't played in years and are stuck with Jason Bay too.

Because The Mets always overpay for players who have absolutely have no value after playing some time for them.

Beckett is overpaid..yes.

Both Hanley and Beckett are reportedly poor in the clubhouse. We'll see.

but..
1) Beckett is not pitching to the power bats in the American league now
2) Dodger stadium is more of a pitchers ballpark
3) He's better than the #5 starter on the Dodgers right now.


If Beckett wins the Dodgers 2-3 more games than they would have won rolling Blanton out there, this deal is worth it as long as the Dodgers have the $$$. They apparently do.

The Dodgers ownership is trying to sell the franchise to both the fanbase AND whomever wins the new TV deal.

Time will tell if this is a bad move or not.

Keep hope alive.

It ain't like picking up Giant rejects on the cheap helped much. Might as well trying it the other way.

But these are some historically bad contracts you're picking up. Save the money and resolve the stadium parking problems with it that have plagued the team forever. ;P
 
Come on Reds. Dodgers are going to need that final NL Wildcard spot.

I don't feel good about winning the NL West, but I think the Dodgers can win 1 game now in a playoff elimination.

Dumping both CC and Beckett's salary?! This is like Christmas came early. What two terrible deals, now they can afford Ellsbury and hopefully dump Lackey so I never have to see his horseface again.
