Reports are out today that the Dodgers are looking for improvement from within as their main way of winning the NL in ’08.  You have got to be kidding me.  You are the freaking Dodgers, you don’t wait around hoping some young kid is good.  You get proven talent.  The city supports the Dodgers like no other franchise, drawing the 2nd most fans in the Majors to the stadium in ‘07.  Only the Yankees were more attended.  So there is money, something else must be amiss.  Ahh yeah, the 06-07 off-season.  The one that GM Ned Colletti spent wildly, sometimes it seemed spending just to spend.  The final bill for that fiasco was roughly $125 million, and you’d be safe to say that the Dodgers would like nothing better then to not have any of those players (Schmidt, Pierre, Garciaparra, Gonzalez) on the books or roster in ‘ 08.  So Ned has gotten cold feet, who would blame him?  He struckout…got no-hit.  One thing I know is that if Colletti stays pat it will be his last season as a Dodger.  So swing away Ned!  The fans opened their pocketbooks for their beloved Dodgers in ‘07 and this year the McCourts and Colletti are stuffing it away.  An improved stadium and a new Manager will not put bottoms in the seats or bucks in your wallet, winning will.  Go win.
