Nomar-LA Dodgers 2 years $18,500,000

F'n is a huge injury risk.I need a bat to rearrange somebody's brain.

I daresay you won't feel this way come Sept 2007. Drew walked away, so maybe they're gonna take the gamble that he'll hold up better than Drew. Team chemistry-wise...it's a winner. Add Pierres' 9mil a year and they're still only 5-6 more than last year. It'll all work out.

Was he healthy against the Mets in the playoffs? I don't get it.You know very well his injury history.You must use some of this money on somebody in case he gets hurt.If this was a smart organization,they would give him a base salary of 5 or 6 million a year,and then pay him for each game he plays.It is not his fault he gets hurt,but it is not the organization's fault either.The fair thing is shared risk(which is paying him at a high rate when he is available to play.)Did we learn nothing from Dreifort's pathetic situation.What does this guy own ? Half of Kansas,and pitched very little for us.The Dodger middle relief got their a$$ beat against the Mets.How about some signings there.They have just told every G.M. in the league that they are irresponsible with the club's money. They are gunna be overpaying for every player now(whether traded for or signed by free agency.)They said they needded pitching,but have done nothing but drive up the price they are gunna have to pay for it.Every other G.M. in the league is belly laughing at paying an oft injured guy 18.5/2 years.

They had team chemistry this last year,but you have to have somebody to pitch the g d baseball.It is pathetic to spend 100 mil a year,and f'n rely on g d Tomko n' Sealy to keep a lead.If I see Tomko wearing a Dodger uniform again,I will be unable to control the involuntary puke response.

"Bill Mueller became the highest-paid special assistant to the general manager in Dodgers history Friday when he was forced to retire as a player and joined the front office.
A year ago, Mueller was one of Ned Colletti's first signings, inking a two-year, $9.5 million contract that pays him $4.5 million in 2007, guaranteed whether he plays or not. He was signed to play third base and fill the black hole left by the departure of Adrian Beltre.

But Mueller's already balky right knee broke down in late April and didn't respond to a third operation in early May. The knee is irreparably crippled with arthritis and likely will need to be replaced.
... Mueller played in only 32 games for the Dodgers.."

Scuds: Dodgers were realistically 3 arms short this year and so Little used him too much. What's the deal with you and Muellar? He was a hardnose player before he got hurt,so his year was crap. He made a move upstairs cuz his knee is shot....and the Dodgers don't seem to mind...they're keeping him around!

Pierre will be much bigger disappointment.

"Over the past four seasons, Juan Pierre has been one of the most durable players and one of baseball's most serious threats to take an extra base. Pierre's rankings from 2003-06:

Games 648 (T-1st)
Hits 810 (3rd)
Triples 45 (2nd)
Steals 225 (1st)"

Are you kidn' me? J.D. PEW does us an incredible favor by leaving.This guy is 10 times the competitor as that dung.Steve Garvey use to get over 200 hits,and not that many Home Runs,and he was by far the most valuable Dodger player in the '70s.A lot of teams wanted Pierre.If he comes anywhere close to the effort Furcal gave us,then he is worth every cent,and will play in the playoffs(and I doubt Nomar will........one tight pitch and he will pull a 3rd of the muscles in his body(trying to get out of the way.)

I'm praying that Pierre is close to Furcals effort! Nomar will be in great shape, as Mia will have him on a tight regamin(sp)this winter,lol

Pierre will be a good leadoff guy for them I think. If he can hit .280, he's gonna steal 50-60 bases easy. Even if you guys have a MGR who doesn't like to steal, if you don't use Pierre for that purpose, then what was the point of signing him? So Pierre will do pretty well there I think. A large part of Pierre in Chi-town last year was the first part of the season with the Cubs. He was in a huge slump, but he played better in the 2nd half. If he gets off to a better start, he'll have a big year.

Pierre is a terrible lead off hitter. He has no power, never walks, has a mediocre sb%, plays a so-so CF. He simply is not a top player and is certainly not worth the contract that the Dodgers gave him.
