What happens to the Dodgers???

[Rich Klein]

Issue is straightened out; be happy for what you got this year. Several teams in the NL West are on the rise and the Dodgers will be on the fall (Think Padres after the Moores divorce)

Rich,you may be right on that,but I have faith the Dodgers will handle the Padres next year.Who is your team?Are you a Ranger fan?

[Rich Klein]

But I like the Rangers and see them living here

The Dodgers should dump Manny and put all their extra resources into starting pitching. Since they moved to Dodger Stadium, they've always won because of their starting pitching ...

You know,I was so thrilled when I heard the Dodgers got Manny.Then when he was suspended for those 50 games,I got worried. Then,they found that they could do it without Manny,and kicked butt all the way until he came back.I could go on and on,but the bottom line is-Manny did not produce.You are right Chris-lose Manny,Get some good heat throwing starters,and get the team to hit consistantly.

he has $20 MILLION on a player option and Scott Boras knows that he'll never get anything near that as a free agent. So Manny will be back for 2010.

That's part of what is going to hurt the Dodgers in 2010 plus the divorce issues with the McCourts.

Thankfully; the core of their team will be around for another year; but there might not be many ways to get help!

For what it's worth, the Dodgers dumped Andrew Jones for nothing with about $20 million left on his contract. I'll bet they won't have to give Manny away quite as cheaply as Jones. Then they can go after a guy like Lackey or trade for Halliday. It's all about pitching, especially in Dodger Stadium ...
