Not sure if those kinds of moves will continue once they get real ownership.

Hopefully he gets a chance to prove himself. He could be a decent fourth outfielder.

Don't really like Angle's chances of even being a 4th, but should be better in the NL. Ideally he'd probably like to be similar to former Dodger Brett Butler. (Though never figures to be anywhere near Butler's overall offense.)

When you see these deals compared to each other, what people forget is each deal is different. Sometimes you are buying the team only. But in many cases it includes a stadium, the complex around it and/or other properties, RSNs(or media rights), spring training facilities, among other things. In the Dodgers case, it wasn't just the team but the stadium as well, partnering with McCourt on surrounding parking lots, and the likely windfall from the TV rights.
But bottomline is this like nearly anything else in business, if they didn't overpay someone else would've. It's what the market will bear and the Dodgers brand dispite the recent turmoil is still strong not to mention being located in the 2nd biggest city in the US.

Matt Kemp is better than you are at baseball.
Speak for yourself, SG.
Ok, you can speak for me, as well...

Currently they are:
8th in Runs
4th in Batting Average
2nd in OBP
7th in Slugging
2nd in ERA
5th in Quality Starts
6th in WHIP
3rd in ERA
With all of the attention to Kemp, people are missing the year Ethier is having. .965 OPS, 23 xbh's, 40 rbi.
It appears the light is never going to really go on for Loney at 1st. .709 OPS, 11 doubles, 2 hr's.
Mark Ellis is getting on at high clip at 2nd. Dee Gordon has a .511 OPS in 153 ab's at SS.
Adam Kennedy is starting at 3rd for the injured Juan Uribe.
31 yr old AJ Ellis has more ab's this year (113), than any previous year in his career. The C is having a great year, .962 OPS, 24 bb's, 26 k's. Certainly wonder when his regression begins.
The LA rotation is Kershaw, Billingsley, Harang, Capauno, and Lilly.
Javy Guerra was removed as Closer, replaced by Kenley Jansen.
In 22.2 ip, Jansen has allowed 11 hits, 3 hr's, 8 bb's, with 36 k's.

I don't think it can continue, anywhere close to this pace. Kershaw is awesome but Capuano, like Ellis and Ethier, will come back to Earth. Billingsley is a 3/4 kind of guy. I think with Lilly and Kemp on the DL, the Dodgers will be lucky to still be in first place by the end of the month.

I remember when Adam Kennedy couldn't get enough playing time for his liking on one of those bad Nats teams.Adam Kennedy is starting at 3rd for the injured Juan Uribe.

He has only had 1 year where his WAR was over 3. He has had a few years of a WAR of just under 3.
They are paying more money per year well into his 30s than he has ever been worth in any season in his prime years.
He is on pace this year to have his best season ever, so there is that but he isn't getting paid the extension this year. Just seems like a poor investment to me.
