Ned Colletti
When I listened to the press conference earlier this week, my first impression was that there were warm fuzzies. Warm fuzzies between McCourt and Colletti, warm fuzzies about Colletti's humble beginnings and his hard work toward his "proudest day of his life", warm fuzzies about the "character and values" that Colletti has.
Warm fuzzies are essential components of Extreme Home Makeover, but how do the warm fuzzies address all my questions and doubts about the Dodgers? Surely warm fuzzies aren't enough to convince me that Colletti is the man but I'm willing to give him a chance. Heck, everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves.
Do I believe that Colletti has what it takes to turn this team around? Well, I've learned these past few years to not have such high hopes and expectations. He hasn't exactly proven himself in the past with the dismal Giants, but who's to say that when it's time for him to come up to the plate, he won't step up & hit a homerun... only time will tell.
It's too bad that even with the great weather, the beach and the legacy of the Los Angeles Dodgers, McCourt couldn't lure Theo over.

Currently Dodgers seem to be wanting to acquire either Brian Giles or Rafael Furcal...
Re: Giles
Seeing a power hitter in Giles would be one thing, but He was quite injury prone (perhaps not as bad as J D Drew) and my question is how often will we see him play (if we do ever get him)
Re: Furcal
Furcal would be a good lead off hitter and we may have more stolen bases out of him than we did with both Izturis and Robles... this may mean that we have to either consider giving up gold glove winner and one of the best defensive shortstops in MLB (Cesar Izturis).
Giles decided to stay at San Diego for less money than what the Dodgers offered. We can't seem to get anyone to even look our way. This is totally depressing.
