Please dont trade these young players. It seems like they have gain momentum and most important, they have gain team chemistry.

Actually, the one person they should trade AWAY is Andruw Jones, aka Mr. I haven't done anything all year but laughed my way to the bank courtesy of Frank's checkbook and Joe (Torre's) old school way of managing. Don't get me wrong, I think the Dodger's management and coaches are great however it's time to cut that anchor (Jones) loose and allow the team to make headway without being weighed down. His .159 average (and I don't care if he was REALLY injured) is at the basement even below some of the pitching staff. I guarantee you if you give me $18 mil a year for two years, I'm taking extra batting practice, hiring a private hitting coach to get me back on track, getting a witch doctor to assist me (and a ground crew to recover all the heads of dead chickens off the field) or whatever it takes to get me back to a .300 average. Nomar's average is currently .268 and he was injured too, but since he's been back he's jacked one and aclimating to what he's worth. Matt Kemp has gotta be the S/O king now, so toss him onto the trade table too. See if Sweeney and his UNDER .100 average wants to fill out AARP paperwork, make room in the clubhouse and ease up Frank's checkbook too.

The McCourts suck! The Dodgers are horrible now and have been for years. McCourt and his bitch of a wife have no clue how to run an MLB operation, my brother worked for the Dodgers for years and always said it was a awonderful place to work, until McMoney took over. Why the hell does he always show up in the booth and spew has madness to the fans? leave Vin alone and stay in your office, what about the parking fiasco? he is suppoesed to be some parking lot guru, what a joke, I used to attened about 20-25 games there a year, now NONE, Dodgers stadium is DIRTY, unruly and the fans? wow what a change in demographics, it's like a never ending Cinco De Mayo celebration. Go to hell Frank, and take the bitch with you!

WE CAN DO IT! Look at the Tampa Bay Rays! If they can do it, we can do it twice as better!

I love to see the Dodgers in total disarray. That is what happens when a greddy bastard owner buys a major sports franchise. I can't stand you thug dodgers/raider fans either.

"...said the guy who's rooting for the L A team that's not even in L A County"...something about those fans touting a "division" banner...big deal...look at the wall of the big picture, 5 to 1...the ratio of WORLD SERIES WINS from when the time that non-L A team was created...(props to my buddy's Red Soxx for their world series titles.)

"The trade potentially would have filled two glaring needs on the left side of the Dodgers' infield. The club has been forced to improvise at third base since March 7"

Oh really? Blake DeWitt is not at 3rd base to "improvise"! He is doing a fantastic job & will be the Dodgers 3rd baseman for years to come. Have you ever even watched a Dodgers game, Tony Jackson???

Amen Andy! He's a potential multi gold glove candidate. His average may be .267 now but I think he'll continue to hone his stick skill and hopefully Frank Mc Money and Ned will see the overall picture and make the investment. I see the potential for a best person on the hot corner in a long term role since Ron Cey.

Thanks again McCourt for another underperforming season. I, for one, am sick of all the hype of Kemp, LaRoche, Kershaw and we're still barely hovering below 500. Pull the damn trigger and land us an All-Star!!

Not every Dodger fan is a CHeap ### Raider fan, Remember there are no Angels in Los Angeles, the only Angels are Former Dodbers that have passed away. Dodgers will always be #1 in LA, those other guys are just the stepbrothers of So Cal Baseball

Hey ex-fan, let's be fair, while Frank has made plenty of mistakes in his tenure as owner, can we really blame him for the changing demographics of North Mexico city, I mean Los Angeles. The city has become nothing but cholos, gangbangers and miscellaneous south o'the border cretins, if u turn em all away, u have no fan base. Have to admit, 2 tuesdays were kinda fun to watch...from a distance. LA has become a third world unlivable hellhole and Chavez Ravine merely reflects that.

I agree Lou, I guess I am bitter, I just wish I could attend a game and have it like it used to be when I would go with my grandfather in the early 80's, I really liked Dodger stadium back then, the vato locos just drive me crazy.
