Summary

On Episode 915, John Stolnis of The Good Phight, Justin Klugh from Baseball Prospectus and Yahoo Sports' Liz Roscher react to more high impact signings by baseball's super-team, the Dodgers. Are they, once again, ushering in a new evil empire in MLB, and will this spur the league to enact salary caps/floors in the near future? Also, how do the Phils stack up in light of the Dodgers' acquisitions? And, the Phillies sign a Japanese import, will it have an impact on future signings out of Japan? And the gang also tries to figure out what John's "vibe" is.
