I kind of hope not. Even though he hit much better than I expected, his defense was terrible. Since his offense could drop off a cliff pretty much anytime, I kind of doubt they'll keep him. The rumor is that they're looking for a big outfield bat, but all of those are looking really expensive right now. Andruw Jones would fill that role, but who knows what he'd cost.
More interesting is the need for a new starter and third baseman. Maddux says he wants to come back to the Dodgers, but is he worth the price? Were Penny's last couple months an aberration, or a long-term issue? Will Saito return to be a closer or go back to Japan?
And what to do about Nomar? He hit very well, but does one season prove his durability? Kent will end up at first sooner rather than later. And of course they have several impressive young guys that are on the verge of being regulars, which is a nice problem to have. Am I being wildly optimistic that Loney looks like he might be ready to make the leap?
