Dodgers sign RHP Garland to one-year deal - SI.com - MLB

Not a bad signing for the doghairs.

This is good news for the Giants...he is terrible and is only going to get worse now that he will be away from Petco.

I agree.. plus the doggy's (like that nic) bullpen are bound to let a few more of his leads slip away than the Pads pen of last year.

Chavez Ravine is also pitcher-y. Not like Petco but still. This is meh. Dodgers are teh suck for at least 2 more years. I am glad this slightly hurts the Padres.

This.

And overpaying for UUUU won't make a difference either. Pure spite move.

Is UUU an A or B?

Getting a sandwich and a high 2 AND having the doggies over-pay would be a GREAT move for the G's.

Getting a sandwich and having the doggies over-pay would only be an OK day.

According to Cots, UUU is not even a type B.

Shocking and disappointing

Edit: Never mind, that is last-years list...

He is a B...

 

[TidrowThePitchingMaster]

So if he is a B, this means just a sandwich pick, right?

Yeah, I don't understant how he wasn't an A though. Isn't it being at the top 20% of your spot? How is he not in the top 20% of SS's, I can't think of many better.

Same with Huff, he's a Type B as well. I think they look at your past 2 years of performance though, with the most recent year more heavily weighted. Could be wrong...

Yeah, that's right it is the last 2 years. But Uribe had a pretty good year last year too. Was it because he didn't get enough AB's or something?

I think they use traditional stats instead of more modern stats to determine the rankings. His .248 BA probably hurt him.

Yea the traditional stats hurt him. They also take into account OBP which was also a weak point. I wonder if the fact that he played 3B hurt him as well.
