Credit where credit is due
Credit for the current Dodger youth movement does not belong to Ned Colletti, though at least he has seen the wisdom of not trading it all away.
It does not belong to Paul DePodesta, though at least he has seen the wisdom of not trading it all away.
It belongs to Dan Evans, much maligned GM under Fox, who acquired the following players:
OF Jason Repko (1999)
OF Matt Kemp (2003)
1B James Loney (2002)
2B Tony Abreu (2002 free agent)
SS Chin Lung Hu (2003 free agent)
3B Andy LaRoche (2003)
C Russell Martin (2002)
P Chad Billingsley (2003)
P Jonathan Broxton (2002)
Hmmmmm. Notice anything unusual about this collection? Oh yeah, it could be the Dodgers starting lineup in 2008. The two guys who have succeeded Evans have done a mediocre job of stocking the major league roster with overpriced veterans in the past four years.
But at least they didn’t trade it all away.
