Or is the economy forcing them to take a longer look at the ridiculous contract offers they’ve given out in the past? I only ask because Rob Neyer thinks that GMs are looking at a slugger’s defensive ability before handing out millions this year. I’m not so sure that’s necessarily the case.

The Dodgers lost last night 6-4 even with ace Chad Billingsley pitching. The boys in blue overcame a 4-0 deficit in the ninth to tie the game and send it to extras until Ryan Ludwick hit a walk off, two run homer. Manny Ramirez went 2-3. The Dodgers now sit 2.5 games back in the [...]
