Ya, and I just saw they got Jon Garland too.

And the Rockies got Contreras that will help the doyers too...!!!!

Jim Thome, class act even though some of you haters called him a FAT softball hitter............

Fuller, 26, was the Dodgers 11th round pick in 2006, and is hitting .254-.340-.418 in 205 at-bats for High Class-A Inland Empire.
This is what we gave up for him,.

As far as "not worth the money he is being paid"....what percentage of players in the MLB do you think that applies to each season? More than 65-70%? Zito, Vlad, Giambi, Abreu, Delgado, Pettitte, Thome all come to mind this season thus far.

Very interesting acquisition in Thome, regardless of my mentioning him earlier in the season as underachieving based on salary(as many players do) I have always liked Thome....often gracing the roster of my fantasy baseball teams in years past.

It is going to be interesting to see what kind of role he plays though, I assume he is primarily going to pinch hit. Will he start a few games against against select pitching matchups regardless of his defensive liability? Great DH should we make it to the world series though! I certainly don't see Loney as the odd man out by any means, a nice pick up for the stretch run regardless!
