we/you need three more starters. Who can win with only two?

So the main reason Colletti is having success is because of what Evans did, but Colletti is only two votes behind him? What the fuck. :o

- Here is my earlier comment regarding that point kensai:
  
  There you go…the incumbent should usually have a leveraged advantage. So Torre gets the benefit of being the incumbent and the team that was a result attributable to Dan Evans.
  
  Colletti’s incumbancy advantage wasn’t enough to overcome Evans. That is an impressive group of readers at MSTI to recognize what Evans did for the Dodgers and overcome the incumbency factor.

- Couldn’t agree more. Sure, Neddie was hamstrung by the Assclowns, but Dan Evans had to work through some serious garbage contracts, a moribund farm system and disinterested ownership, yet managed to repair both problems in record time. Hell, Ned Colletti and Assclown should genuflect in Evans’ direction each day because he is only reason that either can claim some success.

  - Well, grabarkewits, you were certainly more eloquent and colorfoul than me but I completely agree. I was amazed that anybody would recognize the body of work Evans did while with the Dodgers and the positive results that followed.
    
    I think he is an agent or somesuch thing now…anybody know how he is doing?
    
    There is obviously much more than just casual fans reading this website.

only change i would make, Broxton at RHR in place of Quantrill

It’s still very wrong that Broxton was deemed ineligible as RH reliever. He was *not* ineligible: he pitched far more as set-up than as closer, and he should have been on the list – and would have won hands down. Boo to you.

Hey, there’s a lot of agreement on the mlb.com Dodgers team of the Decade with a couple differences here and there.
