Merry Christmas!

Still more Christmas wishes out there, like another left reliever and maybe a bat in Left Field. Other people have suggested Marcus Thames because of his ability to hit Lefties. However, his fielding % is horrendous. I am not sure if the Dodgers are more content to stay put and do nothing and wait for a disgruntled Ryan Braun of the Brewers (after they start losing) or Prince Fielder to be traded for prospects and James Loney.

5 wishes for Next Season:

1. Hearing Dodgers win more than 90 times or as many as it takes to recapture the crown from the Jints.

2. Seeing all 5/6 of our starters begin and finish the year healthy.

3. See Clayton Kershaw get run support and make a run at 18 wins.

4. Get a LF bat. Please Dodgers pull the trigger if the combination of Blake, (insert name), and Gibbons doesn't work.

5. A healthy Ethier and a happy Kemper!

Merry Christmas Dodger Fans!!!

Dodgers Roster All Set

Ok so Dodgers fans, why wheep over the McCourt verdict? It's going to be in the courts for awhile and I don't forsee a resolution anytime soon. As for what the Dodgers are doing, they are making moves.

Now that Vicente Padilla-el asesino and Tony Gwynn Jr. have been signed, there are now 39 total players on the roster.

Who is going to be that 1 player? I am banking on some Rule 5 magic. There are a ton of players available and for cheap amounts of money.

As far as the moves made, do I like the big signing of Uribe?

Yes, as long as they can get at least 2 good years from him. Even 18HR will add power to the position.

Barajas signing? Good and bad, but he loves LA so he should do well.

Is AJ Ellis the future? His ability to throw out runners is very low, so we'll see.

Lilly? An awesome signing.

Garland? He has 131 career wins...why not and plus he eats innings.

We do have so more work to do, but the roster is set. Gwynn will add speed to left field. That should help considering Gibbons is not the best fielder.

Peace, I'm Out Go Blue!
