Shamrock Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 If Brown can remain healthy for an entire season + postseason the ball is back in Boston's court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaGreatOne Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Well looks like its a done deal. Good move for the Dodgers because they get to unload browns contract. He was due 30mil over the next 2 years plus they get weaver who is still young and has a lot of upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBurque Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 no idea yet on the 2 minor leaguers is there? Great trade for the Dodgers IMO. Moving that contract was big for them. Maybe they can get a few bats now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorianoFanHFW Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead NO NO NO NO!!! I guess if one is okay with gluttony, you can think it is like paying only 7.5 million a year subtracting Weaver's salary, but the Yankee Payroll has to be close to 210,000,000 dollars after we finally sign Sheffield for real. Its a shame, the Yanks already had a great starting rotation. Here's what it is now: Mussina Brown Vasquez Contreras Lieber/Wells All of these guys could be 1 starters (Well Lieber was.) This is just insane, and I think Bartolome de Las Casas said it best: "Ill acquired wealth will make Spain the poorest country on Earth." Will Yankee fans be able to tolerate non-all star teams in the future? It can't keep going on like this, it is far too inefficient. Its crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperAngels Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I hope it does not happen. Kelvin Brown was my favorite Dodgers player. :thumbdown :thumbdown :w00t :hat :hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Shadow Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Is open the door for the Dodgers to go after Vlad, Pudge or Carlos Beltran. They want a bat...they need a bat Shawn Green can't do it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramp Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 are you saying Cesar Izturis' bat isnt good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 maybe he just needs a change of scenery Possibly. He was an adequate pitcher in Detroit, but I don't know. He changed his whole approach and style in New York, and when I saw him pitch at Yankee Stadium in July, he was AWFUL. Weaver could be good in LA I guess, but I doubt it.
