MLB.com's Ken Gurnick begins his latest Dodgers spring training piece with this sentence: They will try to transfer the charm and nostalgia of Dodgertown to their new Arizona training complex, but one thing the Dodgers can't do is make Sandy Koufax appear out of thin air as he's done the past two days here.

Optimism is, probably, not something my fellow Mets fan can find right now. But with 2007 over, I decided to simply look forward to 2008, and what I'd do if I were running this team. I'm taking Willie Randolph, Manager, as a given, even though I have nothing good to say about him. What Stays,
