Who crapped the bed on that one? Of course a team trading the player away will have potentially biased medical staff (he’s still good! he’s still good!), so did you just take their word for it? How naive can you be? “Oh Tambi says he’s cool, let’s go with it.” Plus it’s not like it was a secret Fraser had an injured foot; he was on the IR for godsakes. I think someone’s pulling a Tortorella.

Edit: Happy Canada Day everyone.

If Doughty wasn’t going to arbitration, I’d seriously suggest him though. :P

I think we should sign Handzus. :P

I hear all the time from the Oil fan base how our management is stupid for something that someone else does frequently as well (and gets a pass for). That said, I don’t tend to pull punches with Tambellini, so I’m probably as guilty as anyone anyways. lol

Anyways, Lombardi and the LA Times chick (@Helenenothelen) say that they want Fraser as a center option, not for buyout.

But yah, Lombardi is definitely using the Oil as a scapegoat for his own screw ups.
