They have one full year of play under their belts. As we've seen in the past, it sometimes takes certain players a year to finally start playing at a high level. Also its good to have captain Mike Saccocio on your side. After winning manager of the year, Mike will stop at nothing to recruit top talent. The only question is though, can they build on their 5-7 record despite losing two of their best players? The Bad: Two of the Dodgers best prospects left via free agency in the 2008 off season. That could spell bad news for the Dodgers. With more question marks then actual pitchers, it could be a very long season for the True Blue. Their offense also has plenty of holes in it, especially after Auspelmyer and Phillips have both vacated. This team may have actually taken a step back from last season. '09 Outlook: After collapsing in the final few games in the regular season, these wifflers were promptly swept in the playoffs. A last place finish might be in place for the Dodgers again unless they find some new talent.

This strategy, although sometimes questioned, gained respect through out the league. He also leads by example, as he was one of the better hitters on his team.
