Dem Bums – A Dodgers Blog

Pitchers and catchers reported today for the Dodgers.  Baseball’s here folks and I’m smiling.

John Nadel wrote a pretty good summary of all the moves the Dodgers made this offseason.  General Manager Ned Colleti was definitely busy, and in a little over a month, we’ll see if those moves paid off.  The infield, while older, should be much improved.  What I like is the upside.  I know a lot of things have to go right for the Dodgers to secure a playoff spot, but I think Colleti did about as good of a job with what he was handed.  If Nomar, Drew, Furcal, Kent and even Mueller do what they’ve done in the past, we could have a pretty good season.

In other former Dodger news, Jeff Weaver will be playing across town for the Angels.  Weaver had a solid year in 2005 and I was a little disappointed to see him go, but I’m glad we’re not the ones paying him over $8 million for next year.
