and where the 2010 NL league range factor for centerfielders was 2.17, our fellow registered a sparkling 2.54.

Range factor is highly dependent on a lot of factors other than players skill, therefore not a useful measure of a players skill.

Best of all he is already signed through the next two seasons so you will not have to worry about him leaving right away.

How much he's signed for is pretty important.

Who are you prepared to offer from the LA roster?

With the information given? Nobody.

Okay, I see that you want a larger deal, something that will really turn LA around in one year.

Alright, suppose we package Rowan with.....a 32 year old left handed starter...former Cy Young winner...never misses a start....two time All Star....signed through 2013...veteran of five post seasons...doesn't worry about what the other guys are doing just goes out there and gives 110 % while staying within himself and taking em one game at a time.

If you guys kick in most of the $88 million!!! left on those contracts we can start talking

LA can afford them, just fire a couple of divorce lawyers.

The divorce lawyers are producing more than Rowand and Zito these days...and I'm no fan of lawyers

The Dodgers need the Mets to F this up like the F everything else up

Logan White To Interview With Mets, But Has New Deal With Dodgers - True Blue LA

Logan White signs two-year deal with the Dodgers, provided the Mets don't hire him to be their GM

As a Mets fan, I think Bobby Valentine should manage the Dodgers instead of Don Mattingly.

[Ridgerunner]

I wish they would trade Torre for Girardi.

I don't think that they needed this one

K rate has been decreasing slightly (relative to the league average)

Though his walk rate has been decreasing much more rapidly.

This one is the most worrysome

He's giving up more and more flyballs.

Lilly is 34 and will pitch his age 35-37 years (if this is a 3 year contract). There is no upside on signing Lilly and only the increased chance that he'll get injured or less effective with age.

I expect the deal to be something like 3 years and $25 million. Which is about right. The biggest problem is that the best this deal can be is 'ok' while it could go horribly wrong. That's the wrong kind of risk.

Ted Lilly will receive $33 million over 3 years.

I originally had 3/30 as the terms but though was too high. It's not my money that's being spent but it'll be interesting to see what contracts other F/A pitchers get.
