Dem Bums - A Dodgers Blog

Dodgers manager Grady Little got a one year contract extension today.  Under the original terms, he was signed through 2007 with an option for 2008 but the Dodgers guaranteed 2008 and gave him an option for 2009.  The Dodgers just missed winning the division last year but they did squeak into the playoffs with the Wild Card before getting taken out by the Mets.

Not a bad move, although 2007 is probably a more important year then 2006 because the Dodgers are the team to beat in a lot of peoples opinion.  A mediocre season in 2007 means he probably doesn’t get the most from his team, which is almost as important as pulling mediocre team up to respectability.
