There are whispers that Hiroki Kuroda has chosen the Dodgers.  According to Tony Jackson of the Daily News he’s on a flight to LA this morning and may be coming to put his pen to paper.  This would be huge for the Dodgers.  You would know have one of the best staffs in the NL with Lowe, Penny, Billingsley, Kuroda & Schmidt/Loiaza.  If someone flames out you have the best minor league left hander in the business to bring up later in the season in Clayton Kershaw.  This is a major move…Now the Dodgers can move Andre Eithier for a 3rd baseman or better yet move Juan Pierre for Joe Crede (reported in a chicago area paper yesterday).  This move should help on another front…Get off of Frank McCourt’s back.  The man spends money and is trying to bring a winning franchise to the Dodgers.  Yes he switches people around too much, but it’s all in an effort to make the Dodgers better.  To this point Ned Colletti has been checking his needs list and marking them off…Hopefully there’s a Crede for Pierre trade for Christmas!
