I'm pretty high on LaRoche. I guess you could say that odds are one of our prospects should crash and burn since we've had so many successes, but other than his back troubles I don't really see any knocks on LaRoche. He just needs a chance.Quote:

Oh he's definitely opting out. He would be a fool not too. I just don't think he'll leave NY. They can him the most and the Yankees give him the best chance at a World Series. He gets bad press but obviously that doesn't affect him. He had what like 150 RBI's this year?Quote:

For us, I think it's pretty clear, it'll be Nomar or LaRoche. And I bet Nomar gets the job, sucks for 2 months before they decide to bench him and LaRoche comes up and tears it up.
I wouldn't go after Lowell. 5 years ago maybe. Lowell now= Mike Blowers. CF next year could be Kemp or Repko. They mentioned moving Pierre to left. Although, I'd stay with Ethier, Pierre and Kemp left to right with Repko and Young as fill ins. Goodbye to Nomar, Seanz, Martinez and Gonzo. If Kent comes back he's welcome. He was solid all year. Plascke's article about trading Kemp is ridiculous! A couple of baserunning mistakes is youth not an attitude problem. The ONLY trade I'd listen to for Kemp would be for Willis and Cabrerra.
This is just silly talk. Lowell is a much, much better player than Blowers ever was offensively and defensively.Quote:

Who is they? Some drunk friend of yours? Moving Pierre doesn't make him suck any less, and if your throwing Repko into the mix that only makes things worse.Quote:

I've also seen the Pierre to LF scenario discussed. They mention it in this article as well.Quote:

My brother and I have been saying this for a while now. I'd love to see Kevin Kennedy manage the Dodgers. That guy is Blue in & out and knows the game extremely well.Quote:

His name always comes up. What has he ever done? Does he even want to manage? Seems like he has a pretty nice TV gig.
