Offseason Discussion-2013 Edition

[SFGRTB]

We can start with the Parade tomorrow, who's going?! Wish I could, but I'm in a different state.





Footnote, Dodgers signed League to a 3-year $22.5 million extension, with a 4th year vesting option. This will set the tone for the market of relievers this year. Bastards....

7M for League? Awful!

They have to run out of money eventually. Right?

I'm a big Brandon League fan, but that guy is not worth $7MM a year. That's closer money.

The L.A. Times was saying that he was going to take over the closer role. Maybe there's more to homeboy's heart condition (hopefully not) than initially revealed.

There's also this written by a Dodger writer: schadenfreude

Can't go this year unfortunately, too much work. Anybody know what channel it will be on? Is it just FSNBA? Hope all who go have a blast, I did in 2010.

KTVU and CSNBayArea. I'm sure CSN will replay it a couple of time over the next week or so. I'm guessing it will be available via on-demand too, if you have comcast.

 

[calsnowskier]

MLBtv has it scheduled. They did not actually show it in 2010, though.

 

[filosofy29]

Much appreciated cal and gp.

Nice, per Pavlovic (via twitter), Alex Smith is wearing a Giants hat.....and driving Matt Cain's parade car!

This kid kind of sums it up for me:

Shame to hear Theriot couldn't be there because of "family matters"

Following up on this, from Jeff Sullivan:

League has supposedly figured it out before, only to lose it again within weeks or months. The fact that he had to re-discover the feel for his splitter says that, previously, he has lost the feel for his splitter after having had it. League, at his absolute best, is a very good reliever worth millions of dollars, but he’s seldom at his absolute best and he’s hardly been the model of consistency. The Dodgers didn’t just make a godawful move. They made a move that’s easier to criticize than defend. Individual inefficiencies aren’t a big deal, but individual inefficiencies do add up, and the Dodgers seem to be adding them up.

Perfectly put, says me.

smh @ the CBS guy saying Vogelsong was traded for Armando Rios. then the other guy saying that trivia will get him a free beer in some places

NL Gold Glove for shortstop awarded to Jimmy Rollins. ROFLMAO.

I know light hitting rookies don't win those, but I'd say Craw was a bit better with his actual glove.

 

[sfsportsfan]

anyone else get the feeling by Huff's body language today, he's really not happy?

Why would he be happy, his career is over.

still. your team just won, quit pouting. or dont show up to the parade.

 

[SFGRTB]

I was about to say, "that was the shortest I've ever seen Larry Bear talk" when he was receiving the Key to the City, only to come right back up and talk our ears off again.

 

[SFGRTB]

Great piece by Kuip there, making fun of Affeldt, then the Dodgers!

I am not watching (but I am listening)...

I would think that this year does not mean much to him. He has not contributed to the teams success AT ALL. Also, MSG mentioned it; his career is over. There has to be some mourning involved in that.
