Jeff Kent
18 June 2008
It's been 20 frickin' years and we need some stars to go along with that youth so that Jeff Kent isn't our HR leader with 20 once again. If it's a money issue, we could've spent a lot of that Joe Torre money on a player who actually plays on the field. I'm all for hiring a big name, big salary manager, but you've got to have the team to go with him. The Lakers aren't going to pay Phil all that money if they don't have Kobe. Even small markets such as St. Louis and Cincinnati, have guys who can change the game with one swing. They just don't have any pitching. Let's keep our pitching intact and get a game breaker or two.

The Dodgers five highest paid position players are Andrew Jones, Jeff Kent, Rafael Furcal, Juan Pierre, and Nomar Garciaparra. Furcal was having a great year before being sidelined with an injury and his return should spark the Dodgers some. However Andrew Jones just went on the DL, but before going there he was batting .167 with 2 homeruns, not the type of power the Dodgers wanted from him. Nomar has barely played the last couple years, and is chronically injured. Kent is batting .234 with 4 homeruns, not what you want from your middle of the order bats. Juan Pierre is doing what he normally does, but he is not the big bat the Dodgers need.

ld be fine this year. They are getting older but still have some very productive bats, Nomar, Jeff Kent, Andruw Jones and Juan Pierre. Russell Martin is a stud at catcher and should really take off this season. The bullpen has some great arms and one of the better closer in the game, Saito. My only worry here is the way Joe Torre manages bullpens, he may overuse a lot of these young guys.
