So, my fellow Dodgers/Kings fans, is anyone going to the LA Kings 'This Is My Town' game against the Cubbies on July 9th?
$45 gets you a ticket in the lower reserve near the first base foul pole and this snazzy t-shirt!

Nope, we took HS pitcher Zach Lee, good arm but he's committed to play QB at LSU, it's gonna be a tough sign.Quote:

The Dodgers have been selling off prospects lately rather than taking on salary in trades, so I'd be very shocked to see them break the bank to sign a draft pick. Not willing to commit to a year of Randy Wolf through arbitration? Then probably not willing to pay big bucks to an 18 year old I'm guessing.
Ownership is getting smart at saving money, bastards.
From Keith Law's analysis under "head-scratchers":
Quote:
The Los Angeles Dodgers took Zach Lee, described by one draft-room source of mine as "the most unsignable player in the draft," and I've spoken to several other sources who speculated that they may have taken him knowing they couldn't sign him with the intention of getting the compensatory pick next year when, they hope, they have more money to spend in the draft. Lee has spurned inquiries from several teams and indicated that he'd prefer to go to LSU to play football, although if he does sign, the Dodgers have perhaps the best athlete among pitchers in this draft, a right-hander with an excellent delivery and a chance for three above-average pitches.
