    They should rename the Peter Principal after Ned. How about the Colletti Rules.

    Joe Maddon's contract is up after next season. So, maybe then we could get him. Give Mattingly one last chance.

    Shows how much I have been paying attention but I didn't even know NedCo was promoted. lmfao. Good hire obviously but I have to wonder if this embarrassment of resources might be too much for a guy used to working constrained by budgets. I am be the only one here to say it I'm glad NedCo wasn't made the scapegoat. As for DBB I'm still not over some of the things he did over the season so I'm not overly mad he's still here but I hope he has a short leash next year. Ron Gardenhire anyone?

    With Ned "promoted' to a non-critical position in terms of baseball decisions, I don't think this is good news for Mattingly no matter what the Dodgers say publicly. The writing is on the wall that Donnie's on a short-leash, that there is no candidate on anyone's mind right now, there might be people a phone-call's away. Another stupid BP decision. Another stupid line-up decision. No appreciable improvement in team play....and that's all she wrote.

    White should be the GM while still being the guy who runs player development.
    Between Friedman and White they can do all 3 jobs of Operations, Acquisitions, and Development and have a tight system.

    How great is Ned's life? Does a terrible job and is prompted into an easier, less stressful role.

    Ned calls Stan: Stan, Ned here, looking forward to my new role with the team and I already have some ideas about some of the kids in the system and ...

    Stan: That's great Ned, send me an e-mail. CLICK.

    Gotta love going from a guy who seems to think young guys are a last resort, to a guy who is all about player development and giving the best guy a shot.

    Well, is this top secret Nato-Crypto clearance shit or what? When are we going to find out who has the power to do what? Can it be any more murky ...or is it because this just happened? Indicate precisely what you mean to say....
    Draw some goddamn lines, boyos. let us know who is doing what now...I never look a gift horse in the mouth, especially this one...but 'will go with Mattingly' in 2015 is disappointing however. but it's a start
    Fucking hallelujah!!!!!
    I can't help asking: WTF do they need Ned for at this point in time? hah?

    Well...we needed more executives...lol ok let's see if I have this right.
    I thought Stan was what this guy is...the guy below ownership but above GM...now there's a guy in between the GM and the guy below ownership . WTF?

    His wife is probably a beautiful, bisexual, mulatto aerobics instructor with loads of money and a gourmet chef, too.

    Kasten is the CEO and president of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Friedman is president of BASEBALL OPERATIONS

    While I'm jazzed about Friedman coming aboard, I wouldn't mind seeing an org chart at some point.

    Now that they have brought Friedman on board, it's too bad Jose Molina is signed for 2015, if they are gonna have catchers who can't hit, it would be nice to have one who can frame pitches and all that jazz.
