Joe Hamrahi Interviews Ned Colletti

Ned pretty much toes the bloggist party line: more kids, less "name" players:
How would you like to have Martin who’s 24, Loney who’s 23, Kemp who’s 23, Billingsley who’s 23, Broxton who’s 23, and you add Kershaw to it, and you add LaRoche to it and you add Chin-Lung Hu to it, and you add Tony Abreu to it…and you let it get better for another year…and that’s not to say we’re going to sell off 2008. We can still win in 2008. Think about the pitching staff we could have…Billingsley and Elbert and Kershaw and McDonald…that’s possible a year and a half from now. And you have two guys, Billingsley and Kershaw who are legit number 1-2 starters. You’d have a great catcher, you’d have a great first baseman, you’d have a guy at SS who might win the gold glove one day…a guy like Matt Kemp who hasn’t even played that much baseball. He’s played about 5 or 6 years baseball. He might wind up being a great centerfielder! So how do you (trade 3 or 4 of your top kids)? If we can stay the course, we can have something very special for a very long time.
There's a strong chance that it's all going to come to an end if the 2008 team doesn't win the division at least. Frank has a very short hook, and honestly, I'm surprised Colletti has lasted this long.

Glad to see that Ned is intimately familiar with his team members' names. Which makes it all the more strange, by the way, that he signed Pierre and Gonzalez last year.
