In the last week, three free agent Dodger pitchers signed with new teams, which begs the question, "Is Ned awake during normal business hours?"
Derek Lowe will now make his home in Atlanta the next four years, and while he is no John Smoltz, he should be able to help keep Bobby Cox's hip in constant motion as he rocks in nervousness on the bench watching Lowe pitch to the rest of NL East. Brad Penny and Takashi Saito have taken their broken body parts to Beantown in hopes that, with Smoltz, they can equal one healthy pitcher.
An old reunion is nearly complete in Blue Town. Guillermo Mota is close to returning to L.A., and he'll be happy to know that Mike Piazza is not. More importantly, he'll be happy to know Piazza is sitting at home wondering how he was unable to catch up to the back-pedaling sprinter several spring trainings ago after Mota brushed his hair with a little chin music. Mota was Eric Gagne's main set-up guy before he was included in the infamous trade with Paulie LoDuca for Brad Penny in mid-2004. Mota hasn't been the same since, and chances are, he'll still be the same as he has been.
All is still quiet on the Manny front, which means Manny is still playing his video games, and still without any distractions. For what it's worth, Manny's hitting .730 with 63 home runs and 172 RBI playing himself as a Dodger on his PS3.
Rumors have surfaced as of today that Colletti & Co. are showing an increased interest in free agent pitcher Kris Benson. This could be great news for the rest of the players, and Joe Torre. Benson's wife Anna, the renowned baseball cocotte, has promised to expose her heavenly mountains in the dugout to keep the players "up" and awake during games. Meanwhile, as most of the top-tier free agent pitchers are falling of the books, Colletti and gang continue to pursue mediocrity among the likes of Randy Wolf, Jon Garland and Braden Looper. Of this bunch, I like Looper, the sole reason being he has a cool name.
And finally, the voice of the Dodgers for the last 60 years, Vin Scully was recently named Top Sportscaster of All-Time by the American Sportscasters Association. Being a native of Los Angeles myself, it's hard to argue with this decision despite the fact Angelinos like myself been bleesed with the voices of legends such as Chick Hearn and Bob Miller over the years. Congratulations Vin!
