One person who's spoken to Dodgers people suggested that the team is considering proposing a contract that may come close to matching Alex Rodriguez's record $27.5-million average annual salary but on a much shorter term, perhaps only two years. That person hinted he could see the Dodgers even exceeding A-Rod's salary, as long as the length of the deal was to their liking.

!!HOLY ****!!

That's a lot of dough. I wonder what it would really leave for the team to go out and sign a starting pitcher and a middle or corner-infielder?

I think he is worth it

DODGERS RE-SIGN MANNY!

Manny Mota, that is.

Also, FWIW, Bill James ranks the Dodgers as the #13 team in terms of young talent on the MLB roster. He's high on Matt Kemp (his #7 young player in MLB) and James Loney (his #20 young player in MLB), but he's not as impressed with our depth of young talent.

2. Hanley Ramirez, Florida Marlins
3. Tim Lincecum, San Francisco Giants
4. David Wright, New York Mets

Huh?

I'm beginning to think of Jon Heyman as the new Ken Rosenthal...

Martin wearing out welcome in L.A.?

The Dodgers were disappointed by the regression of catcher Russell Martin, who in the words of one Dodgers-connected person was "just another catcher'' this year. Only a year ago Martin was an excellent two-way player who won a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger and appeared on the verge of superstardom. The New York Post reported that the Dodgers might even consider trading him.

He sounds to me like the new Bruce Garroich. Martin played too many games too early in the year and had almost zero days off. It was not Martin's fault.

I'm still in favor of picking up his option haha.
