An optimistic view of new Dodgers pitcher David Price

Nearly 16 years after the Dodgers drafted David Price in the 19th round of the 2004 MLB Draft, the 34-year-old pitcher is finally a member of the franchise.

Price obviously didn’t sign with the Dodgers out of high school, instead spending three years at Vanderbilt before Andrew Friedman drafted him No. 1 overall in the 2007 draft. Price is long removed from his days as a perennial all-star with Tampa or being worth the $96 million he’s due over the next three seasons.

Of course, that’s not what the Dodgers will be paying him.
