That’s right, Ned Colletti ( http://media.scout.com/Media/Image/27/270114.jpg), the mustached man who looks like the offspring of both Mario and Luigi, if Luigi developed a birth canal, a uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries (and based on Luigi’s place in the Mario videogame franchise, this assumption is not far off), has decided that what the Dodgers need is a 30 year old, weak hitting (career .270 batter) to handle the reins of the club until Furcal either returns, or walks after free agency. The worst part about it is that Ned is resigned to trade some of his everyday players for him ( http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080704&content_id=3063949&vkey=trade2008&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb&partnerId=rss_mlb). I know the prospect of getting a player who looks like a dirtier Adam Corolla may be too much to say no to, the Dodgers themselves need to take a stance, and tell the moustache, “NO.” at the thought of trading a couple twenty something players for Jack Wilson. MAYBE you can offer them Brian Falkenberg and Rafael Furcal’s back, but anythong more would be a travesty.

Hanley Ramirez SS – Florida Marlins
While Uggla is slugging at second, Florida’s Hanley Ramirez has become the undisputed best shortstop in the game. His numbers are staggering; as he’s on pace for over 35 homers, 80 RBI, 40 steals, and a run total that could reach as high as 150 runs. His numbers are getting dangerously close to the production that Alfonso Soriano put up in New York and Washington, but strikes out a tad less, and is equipped with a dazzling glove and rocket arm. His overall ability is remarkable, comparing only to a slightly weaker version of a young Alex Rodriguez. The parallels between the two are eerie; both five tool shortstops started shining with small market teams in their youth, along with talent capable of 40-40 seasons year after year.
