While we’re waiting for some actual news to come out of the Winter Meetings, rather than just rumors, here’s something of interest: Joe Hamrahi at Baseball Digest Daily has posted an interview with Los Angeles Dodgers GM Ned Colletti. Cause for hope if you’re a Dodgers fan (or concern if you’re not):
One thing I know I wouldn’t have done differently. I’m glad I didn’t trade 3 or 4 kids at the deadline. I think that decision will prove to be valuable for a very long time. People ask about the young players all the time. Teams need young players.
Yeah, trust me, a lot of us in San Diego were hoping you would part with a few of ‘em. Chad Billingsley, for example, might make a nice fit somewhere other than the NL West. Just a thought…
Man, that’s bad news for NL West especially the Padres. That makes the Giants the only team in the division with a poor GM. Looks like Coletti learns from Sabean’s mistakes after all. Drats!
