Signing Matt Treanor is not news because it would be a shame if he actually took a roster spot from either A.J. or Fed-X.
It’s such a non-factor that I won’t address it anymore.
Play Misty for me
He’s the Dioner Navarro of 2012 – that’s the best I can say. A million dollars? OK? Well, he does have one re-deeming thing – he is married to Misty May.
There could be a trade or two, but I would not imagine that the Dodgers would be bidders on any big free agent (i.e, Fielder or Pujols). It’s mostly over. This is the offense for nest year:
- 1B – Loney
- 2B – Ellis (I think he will be a stabilizing influence)
- SS – Gordon
- 3B – Uribe
- LF – Rivera
- CF – Kemp
- RF – Ethier
- C – Ellis
There may be trade or signing for a utility infielder or outfielder, but I think it’s a mistake to bring Kuroda back.. Nothing good can come from that. Forget Padilla… toast!
As much as I have trashed Jon Broxton, I could see him coming back next year. After all, he can be a great set-up man.
The rotation as it sits currently is as follows:
- Clayton Kershaw (Cy)
- Chad Billingsley (is 2012 the year he really pitches up to his ability?)
- Ted Lilly (2.94 ERA after the All-Star Game)
- Nate Eovaldi (he will be solid)
- Allen Webster (I’ll give you one guess as to who my TOP Dodger Prospect might be – that’s coming up soon)
Now, I would be fine if the Dodgers were to sign one of these pitchers: Chris Capuano, Aaron Harang or Jeff Francis… at the right price.
Mark,
You need to write something that gets these morons riled up. Unless you say something good or bad about McCourt, they just sit with their heads up their arses.
