Motion denied.

I know I'm going to get hate but I don't really care.

I mean.... you guys are smart. You know that the only reason Calhoun is here is because he had no place in the national league. The dodgers wouldn't be able to find a spot for him. This guy is only going to work out as a DH. He's one of the best hitters in the minor leagues, but his measurables are terrible. 5'8 and if you look at the guy he's gotta be over 200 pounds. I'm just skeptical at this point.

The nickname "Butterball" is lame.

off topic, but anyone else hope Yu gets rocked tonight?

He really needs to get his ass handed to him in LA so they don't want to resign him and his price doesn't go up. I wish he could win a WS ring, but don't want him to do awesome and make him unsignable.

Doesn't appear the scouts and Daniels were skeptical or I doubt they accept the guy for Yu Darvish! I'll take their opinion over yours at this point but hey, you may be right sometime. Keep plugging away

I didn't want us to sign Choo. Would've been right about that.

Probably not going to happen.

I bet the Dodgers will actually get Yu some run support. It seemed like for most of Darvish's tenure as a ranger he was either pitching with the game tied or pitching from behind. The line up always took the night off when he pitched. I bet he will be invigorated by the change of scenery and pitch well.

He's long gone either way, might as well root for him to win the World Series this year. It would be much more disastrous for us if the Astros won it.

I agree. His chances of getting run support is better and should land him some wins.

Just can't root for the Dodgers. Been American League fan forever. Dodgers are the Yankees of the National League.

Nickolas first hit is a stand up double to LC.
