Matt Kemp

The Dodgers' new outfield of Manny, Matt Kemp, and Andre Ethier could be good enough for the top spot on this list. Manny's quite an upgrade over Juan Pierre...

Their young guys seem to be developing well and Matt Kemp, James Loney, and Russell Martin look like future stars.
However, the veterans that are being paid to make plays simply are not doing that. 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.
