Colletti Looking for a Shortstop. Know Anyone?

Ned Colletti is on the lookout for a new shortstop. However, the General Manager has not yet posted a listing in the local paper. Hopefully, Los Angeles will find a reliable replacement for Furcal at shortstop before it is too late and the Dodgers are out of the playoff picture.

The Dodgers expected Angel Berroa and Luis Maza to hold up the infield until Rafael Furcal returned. But that won't be anytime soon as Furcal recently went underneath the knife for back surgery. The Dodgers must find someone to fill up their gap in the diamond.

It is rumored that the Dodgers are willing to trade:

• Matt Kemp
• James Loney
• Andre Ethier
• Andy LaRoche
• Derek Lowe

It's surprising that the Dodgers are that desperate for a shortstop. Is Ned Colletti really going to trade away all of Los Angeles' promising young stars? We will find out.

Dodgers Look Into Sabathia

I apologize for the recent inactivity. I have been considering whether or not to taking my blogging to the next level by purchasing a domain and either moving to Wordpress.Com or staying on Blogger. Thus far, I have been unable to make any major decisions or progress.

In recent reports, the Dodgers have been chasing after C.C. Sabathia of the Cleveland Indians. The premiere ace has a 6-8 record thus far in the 2008 Regular Season. However, despite his mediocre record, he is a hot item on the market as the trade deadline whips around the corner.

There have also been reports that Sabathia could head over to the Yankees, Brewers, and Phillies. The more potential suitors, the less of a chance that we'll see Sabathia in a Dodgers jersey. But, the Dodgers' current offer (rumored, not official yet) seems quite promising:

• Chin-Ling Hu
• Andy LaRoche
• James McDonald

Here is the Brewers' best offer to the Indians:

• Matt LaPorta

Evidently, the Dodgers are being more generous than the Milwaukee Brewers. We will see how this story develops in the upcoming weeks.
