He sure does. Nobody thought this would happen two years in a row. He nailed that one.

[Tyler]

Very likeable, classy guy. I'd take him over Blanton any day of the week.

[Tyler]

Definitely spoke the truth as well.

[CaliAngel]

How is a team supposed to "jell" if they never player together for more than a year?

 

Harens right. We looked decent at the end of last year, and shoulda kept intact with more of those guys. 

 

I would have been fine passing on Hamilton to keep a majority of the same guys. 

[Lifetime]

I agree with everything Haren said. 

[full circle]

Yep, we shoulda kept Ervin and stuck with our decision to dump Dan.  

[Eric]

Bink!

 

"It's about the players' performance," Haren said. "It's not Scioscia's fault that there are a ton of injuries. It's not Scioscia's fault the lineup hasn't lived up to its capabilities. But someone has to take the fall, and if it's Scioscia, that's unfortunate. He's really an intelligent guy. If it did happen, he would be without a job for two minutes. Teams would be lucky to have him."

I'm inclined to agree with Haren as well. The 2012 should have been kept (largely) intact. It played really well for most of the year, just started slow. The big loss was Zack Greinke, which would have been hard to make up for. But dialing back to November of 2012, I would have passed on Hamilton, resigned Hunter for two years, still traded Morales for Vargas, kept Santana and Haren, and gone into 2013 with a rotation of Weaver, Wilson, Santana, Haren, and Vargas, and a lineup the same as it is now but with Hunter instead of Hamilton.

 

But alas, Jerry Dipoto isn't me (and, admittedly, doesn't have my 20-20 hindsight vision).

[ukyah]

i disagree with everything dan said, except that scioscia would be hired by someone in "two minutes". that's probably true, but also meaningless, as it's baseball.

[Jason]

I agree with Haren except for them turning it around eventually

[tomsred]

I think he hit it 100%.  I agree with everything he said.

[VariousCrap]

I agree with everything Haren said. 

 

 

Then he must have said something wrong.

[YouthofToday]

Monday morning QB. Awesome.

[bdavis621]

Why the hell are these guys jumping out of the closet right now to basically spit on this team.  Is our society becoming this classless!!  If so we are doomed.

[bdavis621]

I hope you are happy Dipoto. You ruined this team.

what are you talking about?

[tdawg87]

what are you talking about?

 

lol seriously

 

bdavis brings the lulz

[bdavis621]

Players need to learn to keep their mouths shut. I don't hear any former Dodgers coming out and criticizing their team. 

[Lifetime]

I say it again, what the hell are you talking about?

[Blarg]

Haren is just giving an opinion. But you and your sock puppet Austin should think about being less opinionated.

[fan_since79]

In before ten pages!

[bdavis621]

Whatever!!!

[mp170.6]

Why is it that when a player is likeable, bandwagons of fans automatically agree with anything they say? 

[austin724]

I liked Haren, Dipoto should have kept him.
