I'll start. Ned Colletti is terrible and he should be fired this offseason. How he didn't get Andrew Miller is beyond me
Sometimes, I like to think that we finally figured it out. Every year I'm disappointed. Wait till next year, though.
evaluations? Mattingly - OUT. self explanatory Colletti - OUT. see above. McGwire - stay ( worked some pretty good magic with a bunch of hard-headed former superstars..let him help raise Pederson/Seager) everybody else on Mattingly's staff - other than Honeycutt and Lopes - OUT. Dee - stay. ended the year poorly, but showed enough progress this year. Puig - stay..unless MIA calls about a Stanton swap. AGon - stay. ended the year poorly, but was a rock all reg-season for us and big producers @ 1B are hard to come by my former Loneyians. Kemp - stay..unless a great deal presents itself. Hanley - OUT. showed up to the fight in the playoffs..too much of a liability defensively, health-wise, and even at the plate..he'll still be swingin for the fences in his dreams tonight. Crawford - OUT. played well this year and should get some interest around the league so long as the Dodgers kick in some money Ethier - stay. because yea right, nobody wants this bum as an everyday option. lock him in as our overpaid pinch hitter next year. AJ Ellis - stay..as a backup. all of our pitchers are limited because he can't stop balls in the dirt on a consistent basis and our Top 3 starting pitchers are better hitters than he is. Uribe - stay. SVS - stay. Turner - stay. Wilson - we're fucked. League - double fucked. etc..one of you other guys can finish the rest
Somewhere, LASports is sitting on his couch, TV still on, rocking back and forth, muttering to himself, "We're fine, we can still win this."
I hope ownership finally gets it. We can't win with Mattingly. Sadly, I don't even think this series loss can be blamed on him. Ned, however, has been doing this for years. We all thought, hey, it's just because McCourt, but Ned really doesn't get it. Change needs to happen. Get rid of the two biggest McCourt blunder hires. Fix this, Mark. Or you'll never bring a title to Los Angeles.
2015 Free agents. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2013/02/2015-mlb-free-agents.html Some highlights, but not necessarily Dodgers targets C Russell Martin, SS Hanley Ramirez, SS JJ Hardy, SS Asdrubal Cabrera, 3B Pablo Sandoval, LF Nelson Cruz, DH Billy Butler P Josh Beckett, P Chad Billingsley, P Hiroki Kuroda, P Jon Lester, P James Shields, P Max Scherzer ,P Paul Maholm, P Jake Peavy Relievers: P Sergio Romo, P Francisco Rodriguez, P Jason Grilli, P Koji Uehara, P Andrew Bailey, P Joba Chamberlain, P Luke Hochevar, P Patt Neshek, P Chris Perez, P Joakim Soria, P Joe Thatcher, P Josh Outman, and P Joe Beimel.
no Andrew Miller on that list for some reason. i want Scherzer, Andrew Miller and Russ Martin back at catcher. they can try to solve some of the problems with the pen in-house..get Onelki ready for one. Dominguez might be ready as well..Withrow later in the season. but we need a rock to get us to Kenley and that's Andrew Miller.
*Fixed I'll take Shields, Thatcher and Bailey. Fuck the rest..........Unless Hiro wants' to come back as our rotating 5th starter with Haren.
