An interesting side-note in the Free-Press this morning mentions the Price deal was agreed to BEFORE the start of the 1pm Tigers game yesterday, and the delay in making it official was because the teams were exchanging medical information during the afternoon. Meanwhile, Smyly and Jackson PLAYED the 1pm game. How insane would it have been if Smyly had to leave the game with arm pain or Jackson crashed into a wall and got a concussion and the entire thing was scrapped?

I also think the Tigers had already worked out an extension with Price using Scherzer money.

The FP reported yesterday they had had no talks with Price prior to confirming the deal about an extension. Logically, obviously that $25million/year Scherzer doesn't want is going to Price.

it's been an blast watching LAD/LAA all week.  i feel like the dodgers are on the verge of blowing out ahead in their division with kemp getting hot, puig in center, and a healthy rotation.  however, agon and hanley are such a pathetic 3-4 combo.  it makes sense to me to jumble the line-up, put kemp at the 3 spot, keep hanley at 4, and let adrian be a miserable bat at the 5 spot.  hell, i'd even park his ass down at 6 or 7, and let van slyke bat 5th and uribe 6th. i can't think of many #3 hitters worse than him right now.  take out his april stats this year and he's complete garbage.

i think it has more to do with the dodgers coming together rather than the angels being ass.

but lester throwing a gem last night probably doesn't help matters.
