#1. Thank you Dodgers from taking that albatross of a contract off he Sox hands.

A change of scenery may do Crawford good. Even if he does well in LA I think we know he couldn’t handle the pressure of a big media market like Boston

Luckily, he’s now playing in a small, low key media market like Los Angeles.

I seem to recall this headline last winter, yet we didn’t see him until July. Although I do believe Crawford will have a great comeback year, forgive my skeptism in thinking it won’t begin as soon as he thinks.

I hope the kid has a big comeback year. This has got to be grinding on him as much as it is on the fans.

Damn, the Dodgers REALLY wanted Nick Punto, in order to take on all that salary, huh?

Boston was the worst place for him — and Gonzalez. I would be surprised if both guys don’t do very well next year.

The Dodgers are chomping at the bit for Carl’s .255 BA. He’s a great catch at 22 mil. per.

Right, because he was so great at avoiding setbacks last year. Good luck with this guy, LA.

No doubt he’ll be “in the best shape of his life.”

I hope he is ready, and tears up the NL next year.
