Something I really resent as a baseball fan is the notion that the Dodgers have great scouting and an eye for talent... No, what they have is a deep, deep wallet.
I remember them passing on countless of promising guys they saw NO value on when their finances didn't amount to the GDP of a small country, topping it all up with giving up on Pedro Martinez because they thought he didn't have the chops to become a starting pitcher in the majors.
... Imagine saying that about a guy who's not only in the Hall Of Fame, but also went on to become the face of both the Montreal Expos and Red Sox franchises.
Anyone can be the hottest bastard around after hiring Ohtani, half of the Rays' pitching rotation, Teoscar Hernandez, Yamamoto and many others, all proven stars.
Credit where it's due, but don't insult the rest of the league's intelligence, damn it.
