On the Dodgers
“You want to know what excites me? The prospect of Billingsley, Jonathan Broxton, Ethier, Kemp, Loney and Martin building on the promising starts to their careers. The prospect of Furcal having a healthier and more fulfilling season than he did last year. The hope that the miraculous Takashi Saito can extend his dominance another season. The chance to hear Vin Scully do another year of games, while hoping it’s not his final year. These things and others all excite me more than the presence of Torre, who might in fact help the team, but is almost guaranteed of being the subject of second-guessing once the glow of his arrival burns out.”
- Jon Weisman at The Hardball Times
