Pickoff Moves, Bedtime Edition
Colletti Speaks
For those who care, the results of Ned Colletti's chat. Nothing you didn't expect, leavened with all the conventional evasions. In other words, he hasn't done anything stupid yet, aside from the revelation that came out in Saturday's Times that Dodger execs are letting it be known the team has only $18M to spend this offseason. If that proves accurate, we can all assess Colletti's mental acuity.Dayn Perry Nails The Dodgers Farm
It's "good not great", corresponding to my own belief that the Dodger minor leaguers are wildly overrated because of early success. (Are you taking notes, Brandon Wood?) Edwin Jackson fell off his list, as he really should have. Jackson in my mind needs another year or so at AA (and success at AAA) before he realistically can get to the Show. On the other hand, Perry's willing to go out on a limb -- and saw it off from behind him -- in predicting the Dodgers will win the NL West. The team doesn't even have 25 men on the roster, dude...Eckstein Ties The Knot
David Eckstein married actress Ashley Drane. Congrats, guys.Konerko Rejects O's Offer
The Baltimore Sun reports Paul Konerko has rejected the Orioles' $65M/5 year offer. Konerko spent the day with Bill Stoneman, Mike Scioscia, and other Angels officials. Also at MLB.com.OT: Xmas In Frisko!
It's that time! Plus, these guys have a fun little winter song that you just wouldn't think is wintry.Drew Meets With Colletti
Fragile outfielder J.D. Drew met with Ned Colletti today; Drew should be available by spring training. Also, Milton Bradley will most likely be traded or non-tendered.
Comments:
As crazy as it is for Perry to pick the Dodgers before there is even a manager or before Colletti does his magic, Perry does has a point about last year's injries. The club is a lot better than its 2005 record which primarily was a result of a record injury hit.
Further, Colletti will likely make moves to improve the club now; whether that damages the future is another issue. Certainly the Dodgers will do better in 2006 than 2005. They may even win the weak west. I just hope Colletti doesn't give away the farm to do it.

You can breathe easier now.
Says Rotoworld:
Paul Konerko has agreed to stay with the White Sox on a five-year deal, according to ESPN Radio and ESPNews.
The deal is likely to be worth about $13 million per year. He's more of a $9 million-per-year player, but at least he's a very good bet to be an above average regular for the duration of the contract.
