Solid deal but I think I like it for Dale more.

Sala is more valuable as a CF than a 3B. That might lean it towards Steve, but just goes to show you how fair the deal is.

I like the idea of Sala as a 3B. On certain teams that is. Just the range and % of you have a great SS and 2B and some ground ball type pitchers. Could be a very strong defensive team.
But yes I agree tough deal to pick a side on

Yeah it's better. Should have just told me what the deal was so I could beat it.

I understand this, still interested in the numbers on say an A .980% guy over a D .955% guy Could be more of a difference then you think

I was going to say, I've had some pretty shitty defenders over the years, and it really didn't make a difference.

super expensive, only had one good season, prone, and sitting with a middling 3.66 ERA that isnt far off what he likely should have

feels like a lot to give up for somebody who hasn't shown a ton and isnt rated to his talents

Looking at the numbers, pitching really isn't the problem for LA. Its always good to add arms but their offense needs adjusting.
