All of this is to say that Hong-Chih Kuo is awesome, and that the Dodgers—a team without a real owner and with an idiot for a general manager, an idiot who signed Aaron Harang and Chris Capuano and Jerry Hairston and Mark Ellis to two-year deals this offseason)—could have been quite silly in nontendering him. It should surprise no one when Seattle flips Kuo for gems in July. He’s great.
Ugh.
