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. Appear out of [...]

I believe that the Mets are the most talented

Juan Pierre's spot in the lineup is in jeopardy. Because of his great work ethic, Dodgers outfielder Juan Pierre (pictured) is one of my favorite baseball players. However, the Dodgers center fielder's starting spot could be in jeopardy this season. When the Dodgers begin spring training next

Ok. We've all had some time to think now. Sooooo'' What's everybody thinking? Here's what EJ says: "Great pick up. No reason to be nervous, Jones played with an injured elbow last season but according to many including SI is already healed completely and projected to return to form next year. That injury allowed us to get him for only 2 years so besides the high yearly price this is all positiv...

The Milwaukee Brewers traded for a Pittsburgh Pirate on Thursday, but it wasn't the one I was hoping for. Torres adds further depth to the Brewers bullpen The Brewers dealt a pair of minor league relievers in exchange for right-handed reliever Salomon Torres from the Pirates in a move yet again

So Johan Santana is still a Twin, Dan Haren and Joe Blanton are still in Oakland, and Barry Bonds had his picture taken yesterday, and, as usual, he wasn't smiling. The New York Yankees arrived in Nashville on December 2nd with hopes of landing Santana. Their original offer of Joba Chamberlain,

It's straight cash, homey. 14 million dollars were stuffed into a suitcase and shipped north to Detroit this week. In return, the Florida Marlins received 6 players who will each earn under 500,000 dollars. In fact, the 14 million dollars sent packing, which doesn't count the additional arbitration money coming to Miguel [...]

The way talks have progressed between the Twins and Yankees and Twins and Red Sox, I just get the feeling those 3 teams are going to be frustrated and back out of their respective deals. The Red Sox won't buckle on Ellsbury...the Yankees on their 3rd guy in the deal. So, watch out who can be sneaking in there, because the Dodgers have, arguably, the best young talent to make a deal for Santana...

The Los Angeles Dodgers made some major changes in their personnel department, thus far during the off-season by acquiring Joe Torre and his crew from New York. However, the Dodgers will not be serious contenders unless they can amplify their offensive threat. I have come up with a compilation of matters that should be considered before the columnists all declare the Dodgers as possible World S...
