Loaiza 4 Free
September 21st, 2007 by Top Dawg
A’s GM Billy Beane isn’t stupid. At the waiver trade deadline he got his chump, Dodgers GM Ned Colletti. His project is Esteban Loaiza and his $9 million salary. The Dodgers traded nothing for him…nothing. That’s unheard of. Loaiza’s an oft-injured control pitcher living off of his 2003 season where he was 2nd in the Cy Young voting. If you look back at his stats he’s a .532 pitcher with a 4.62 era, wait it just went up again…bye bye baseball. He’s in the midst of being destroyed by the d-backs, but i’m sure I’ll wake up tomorrow and find that he is going in for an MRI or that pitching coach Rick Honeycutt found something wrong in his delivery. Just think Dodger fans we got him locked up for 2008. Oh goody! I like Ned, but isn’t there a saying out there that if something is too good to be true then it probably is?

Randy Wolf is the same situation.
Never anything but a mediocre pitcher at best. What did the Dodgers think they were going to do with him?????Perform a miracle????
They just spent alot on medical to end up with what they started with in April…..A mediocre pitcher.
