The #Dodgers view Ryu as a starter. But even if they sign him, they will continue to pursue the likes of Greinke and Kuroda.

****ing awesome

Smart move by the Dodgers... Since theres alotta Koreans in LA...

they will be banking from his fan base

This isn't that HUGE of a post. I believe Dice-K got $50 million. Another good move for the Dodgers. The guy had dominant number in South Korea and is only 25! You can't really tell how these international guys are going to do but this guy certainly appears to be worth half the post of Dice-K.

MVP and rookie of the year of the League in 2006. Me likey. strike out pitcher. 4 pitch pitcher. Good variety. This guy has the makings of being a stud and is only 25. Lets see what we can sign him for. I especially like the fact that we are still going after other big name pitchers as well. Give me Greinke now.

Kershaw
Greinke
Ryu
Beckett
Bills

Very formidable rotation. Bills as the 5th starter says it all. Goes from our #2 to our # 5 starter...Yikes.

[LASportsFan1996]

This is how I think it would set up next year...

Kershaw
Greinke/Haren/Kuroda (If none of these happen, push everybody else up 1 and put Harang as the #5)
Beckett
Bills
Ryu

Depending on who else we pick up as a SP we may have a VERY competitive staff. Aside from the WS win, the Vagiants have one of, if not the best staff in MLB. One more FA signing and we could be as good or better.

[LASportsFan1996]

Statistically our rotation was better than SF's last year and our rotation will be better next year

[Scully in 2012]

True but I dont think Cap and Harang will repeat last year, especially CAp's 1st half performance. Pretty awesome that with all the moves we are making they will likely not have a spot in the rotation and Bills/Beckett and Ryu will be a 3,4,5 team.

Yea we just didn't hit the ball for last month n half of the season

[LASportsFan1996]

Full year of Beckett and Ryu, plus if we sign another good starter will make us better I think... I repeat trade Capuano already, for whatever, have the team eat 1/2 of his contract or whatever

[Krush]

I'm going to attend a lot of Dodger games next year. Can't wait for spring training to begin.

This.

I know I'm young, but this is definitely the most I've ever been excited for the season to start and I already was almost too passionate about this team...

I couldn't agree more. Cap and Harang need to be traded asap. Even if its for good prospects. I don't hate them but get something for them while we can.

Hell I don't even care if we get good return back, just let them move on, this is almost more for them, to let them get to play, cause they might not get to play here...
