    Punitive damages almost certainly weren't at issue in the case, so the Dodgers' financial condition is not relevant and most likely wasn't made an issue at trial (except maybe to the extent of the cost of security vs. various revenues).

    That makes a lot more sense. I am guessing the jury found his actual money damages to be about $12,500,000, for which the Dodgers and the two others will be jointly and severally liable. Because the other two won't pay it, the Dodgers will be on the hook for the entirety of it. As for the pain and suffering element, which sounds to be about $5,500,000, the Dodgers would be on the hook for only their percentage of liability (25%).

    And my guess is that the Dodgers made an "offer to compromise " on Stow for something north of the $4.5 judgment against them, potentially making Stow responsible for a lot of money in fees and costs that he might not otherwise have had to pay. In short, I doubt Stow sees much money from the Dodgers here.

    How could you make a thread like this? He was nails in April. How dare you be critical of him.

    I don't think I have ever once complained, even impliedly, about anything any moderator has ever said or done on this board (except maybe regarding you). I have never once even felt any moderator on here has been unfair to me. So you are grasping at straws now.

    That might be true, and I am sure you are a good dude in real life, but on this message board you can be a controlling d#$k much of the time.

    And what's most absurd about his criticism is that this is an extremely valid and relevant topic, and there are a number of posters on here who share the exact same concern regarding Hamilton.

    All he does his bitch about what other people post. Your thread was fine. He wants to play thought police on here.

    I think he is done. Oddly enough, last night I had a dream in which we traded him to the Rangers. Although we got nothing in return, the Rangers were taking on all his salary. That is a trade I'd make any day of the week.

    Wasn't Bowden a GM for a while? And if so, that makes me believe that I could actually be GM material.

    Anyone have any clue (1) how much the Angels have to play with, (2) whether they are likely to use it, (3) how much, if any, they have already used, and (4) whether they can trade it for a piece that can help the team right now. Seems like a lot of teams have been spending their money or trading it for other things of value (draft picks or players), but all has been mostly quiet on the Angels' front in this regard.

    Santiago/Cron/Yarbrough for Price. Not saying the Rays would do that, and not saying that I would do that, but I'd at least have to think about it.

    How does something like this happen? Did he get caught in a current or something? It seems odd that someone so experienced at his job and at swimming would drown like this.

    I saw something similar happen about 15 years ago. When the guy got up, half his face was bright red, apparently from sleeping on it. Everyone was clapping and cheering for him, and he just had a dumbfounded look on his face. He had no clue what was going on.

    Chuck, do you know what DeLoach throws? He has pretty decent peripherals - looks like he misses lots of bats and limits the hits and homeruns. He walks a few too many hitters, but his walk rate isn't that terrible.
  16. wopphil
    DeLoach is having a good season. Looks like a really interesting prospect.

    This is why everything all-star related is a ****ing joke. The whole thing is broken.

    Pardon him. We won. And we are going to need a great nickname the first time Thatcher let's a guy get into scoring position, or just on Wednesday when CJ pitches again.

    I don't know, Phillies would have to eat a lot of money. Lee is owed up to $52,500,000 the next two years, if his option for 2016 vests.
  20. wopphil
    Phillies would have to eat a lot of money and accept a guy like Santiago as the centerpiece of any deal. I don't see it happening. But I do agree we need another good starting pitcher.
  21. wopphil
    Yep, kind of like the Garza trade last year.
  22. wopphil
    The A's and Rangers have traded away a lot of young talent the last few years. Although I fully expect Oakland to win the division and be good again next year, and that Texas will rebound next year, franchise success is cyclical. It therefore wouldn't surprise me to see the Angels resume their position as the powerhouse of the AL West come 2016.

    I had wanted to take the family to Saudi Arabia, but the wife wanted to show her ankles off by the pool and we didn't think that would be acceptable there.

    We are one more piece away from a great pen. Benoit Smith Thatcher Jeppy Morin Grilling/ Sally Sick.

    I am in Palm Springs, and a few minutes ago I thought for sure I felt one.
