Thank You For Not ...

1) using profanity or any euphemisms for profanity
2) personally attacking other commenters
3) baiting other commenters
4) arguing for the sake of arguing
5) discussing politics
6) using hyperbole when something less will suffice
7) using sarcasm in a way that can be misinterpreted negatively
8) making the same point over and over again
9) typing "no-hitter" or "perfect game" to describe either in progress
10) being annoyed by the existence of this list
11) commenting under the obvious influence
12) claiming your opinion isn't allowed when it's just being disagreed with

Dodger Payroll Update
2005-01-09 22:47
by Jon Weisman

On the sidebar ...

  • Derek Lowe has been added to the Dodger starting rotation, at $9 million, pending news on how his four-year, $36 million contract is divided.

  • For now, Kazuhisa Ishii remains in the rotation and Edwin Jackson has been moved to the bullpen, leaving the staff with 12 pitchers. Ishii might not be with the team when the season starts, but the main thing for our purposes now is to know that his contract is an issue. And it wouldn't be outlandish for the Dodgers to hang onto Ishii, who does have value, at least until Brad Penny is throwing with convincing health.

  • Shawn Green moves to the Disabled/Traded list at $10 million.

  • Darren Dreifort's contract has been lowered from $13 million to $5 million, based on the reported $8 million the Dodgers would get in insurance coverage. Given that the payroll is now in the $92 million neighborhood and it's still only January, this seems to be the theory they are operating under.

    • Comment status: comments have been closed. Baseball Toaster is now out of business.
