Something Gross About Dodger Deal

What do the Dodgers need? A left-handed relief pitcher, a left-handed starting pitcher, a second baseman and a leadoff man/center fielder.

So what do they do? They spend $6.4 million on Kevin Gross--a mediocre right-handed pitcher with a lifetime record under .500 and an ERA over 4.00. What a Gross mistake.
