$400,000 A.J. Ellis
$3,806,000 Total



All of this adds up to a grand total of $92,791,000 mil which means the Dodgers have a whole 7.2 mil left they can spend on the roster for next season. Now if Ned was not a worthless piece of crap they would not have to $15,590,000 to a bunch of guys who no longer have anything to do with the team and then would have $22,790,000 they could spend to bring in some better pitching but instead I am left watching the Giants put together a pretty good team while the Dodgers are sitting around wondering which McCourt to listen to. At least they filled the the second base whole with Jamey Carroll :doh:

Colletti is to blame for some of the past moves, but he can't be held accountable for anything this year. If the Dodgers had a half-way competent (and not broke) owner, they would have already some significant moves to improve the team.

The McCourts are to blame for the Dodgers' problems this off-season.

They have done nothing but ruin the team since they got it this is a direct reflection of Ned's and their negligence. While I agree with you that if they were not divorcing they might have spent some more money this year I disagree that it would of made a difference. Every BIG move Ned has made has been a huge failure.

If they weren't such penny-pinchers, they would have had Carlos Santana to either use as a trading chip for Halladay or Lee or as a replacement for Martin, if he was traded.

I'm not defending Ned. Lord knows he's made some horrific moves. But he can't be held responsible for the owner being a cheap ass MF'er.

Just sell the team (to Mark Cuban) already!

I wish they would sell to Cuban he would have the team fixed and in the WS in 3 seasons max. Last season they should of Let Manny's butt rotted and just let Jaun play instead of giving Manny that crazy contract. I said it last offseason and everyone thought I was crazy not wanting Manny but boy was I right. Now they have traded Jaun for next to nothing heck they should of sent him to the Tigers and at least Dontrelle Willis. I know Dontrelle is not the greatest but he could be a nice lefty for the bottom of the rotation and would be alot cheaper then some of the guys they have wasted money on.
