MANNY BEING A DODGER?...

At this juncture, the Dodgers appear to be the team in the lead for the Manny Ramirez sweepstakes. Manny would certainly solve the Dodgers power woes. For the last 10 years, Manny has been an elite hitter. Ramirez batted .321, hit 35 homeruns, and drove in 102 runs last season. This was also considered to be a down year for the eccentric left fielder. Manny might be one of the greatest pure hitters of all-time. He is a career .314 hitter, has 470 homeruns, and has driven in 1,516 runs.
Manny has driven in at least 100 runs in eleven of the past twelve years. Including 1999 when Manny drove in a impressive 165 runs. This guy is the definition of a clutch hitter. Without a doubt, Manny Ramirez would be a welcomed addition to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The only hitch in bringing Manny to Los Angeles is the prize. The prize being the Dodger prospects that would have to go back in return for such a player. At this point, it is being said the the Boston Red Sox would want James Loney, Andy LaRoche, Matt Kemp, and a pitching prospect. The acquisition would pay a steep prize for the Dodgers. This is a move that should simply not be made. Manny Ramirez is a great player, but in this humble writers opinion, he is not worth the Dodgers future. Ramirez has two years left on his deal, so in two years time he might not even be a Dodger. Ned Colletti needs to avoid the Red Sox like the plaque. He needs to focus his attention on Barry Zito or Jason Schmidt. They are both being pursued by the Texas Rangers, and the Chicago Cubs respectfully. At this point, I am willing to bite my lip and go with the "power" hitters the team has.

The Dodgers signed Randy Wolf to a one year deal with an option for a second. This is a solid move. It gives the team another option in the rotation. Plus, if Wolf flops in his comeback from Tommy John surgery, it is only a one year deal. This also gives the Dodgers an option of trading Brad Penny who has fallen out of favor with the organization for a middle of the order hitter. All in all it was a solid move. But, Ned needs to stop the "solid" moves, and bring in the aforementioned Zito or Schmidt.

By the way, I am looking for a job. If anyone can help me out it would certainty be appreciated.
