With Haren, do we still go after Hiroki Kuroda??

[Mrh182]

We just upped the money in the contract... do we pull it off the table and put that money to use elsewhere?

Thoughts?

Pull it off the table and put the money to use elsewhere.

With Haren, they've got their 1-5 set with Webb, Haren, Davis, Johnson (if is back healthy) and Owings. I can't envision they're going to pay out a $30 million contract for a #4 starter.

It sounds like they are pretty much done with the roster for next year. I'm just happy they got Haren.

Hypothetically they could, as their payroll after yesterday's trades is only $1M more than what it was before them. In my opinion though, the deal should be pulled so that money can be used in other places (like working on Hudson's and Webb's extensions).

Agreed. I'd like to see them work on re-upping both... Webb like yesterday.

I didn't want him before we had Haren, I want him even less now. Lets use that cash to keep Hudson and Webby here until they retire.

Kuroda to the Dodgers, 3 years, 35.2m

 

[scXfreakX]

Well, that ends that talk. I'd say a nice deal for Kuroda.

Kuroda... think Hideki Arabu without the fastball
