"It's what I've always envied about the Dodgers. As amazing as their superstar talent is it's moreso about how they can plug in competent hitters and pitchers anywhere. Having deep rosters is what covers you from any sort of unexpected event"

"Being a top payroll allows you to spend money where other teams can't. Spending on defence baserunning and depth--in the case of Straw & Clement--is a luxury. as is being able to fill bullpen holes like they did with Hoffman Garcia and Sandlin"

"@ArdenZwelling You add some rotation insurance for down the line. You can control the speed at which Bieber comes back. And maybe if you choose to cover all the money remaining on his deal it might grease the skids to a Steven Kwan trade (now I'm getting ahead of myself)"
