Jon over at Dodger Thoughts has a good post about the Dodgers and Takashi Saito.
There are reports that the Dodgers might be courting Omar Vizquel. Not only is he a Giant, but he's not exactly good anymore. And at 42 he's also pretty damn old for a shortstop. If this guy gets anywhere near a Dodger jersey it better be because he's the new equipment manager.
Still nothing on Furcal; however, we'll definitely hear something about him before we hear anything about Manny. Speaking of Manny, if he signs in Los Angeles it better be in LOS ANGELES and not in Anaheim.

Winter Meeting Rumblings
Quick notes from Tuesday's news:
It appears as if CC Sabathia will be going to New York to the tune of 160 million dollars. No way the Dodgers could match that offer, and no reason they should attempted to.
The Dodgers were aware of Jason Schmidt's injury problems before signing him. While every players certainly has nagging problems you don't want to mess around with a pitcher who has elbow or shoulder problems. Dodgers should have seen this one coming.
Also noted in the same article is that the Dodgers offered Furcal a contract; however, not for the four years that he is hoping for. Colletti declined to reveal the terms.
Additionally, Colletti has made it public that a few teams are inquring about Andruw Jones, although according to Colletti, "they'd ask for us to pick up the vast majority of his salary." Jones is currently owed $22 million dollars this season. How much is reasonable for the Dodgers to eat to rid themselves of Jones? If another club shells out $6 million dollars then I say ship him away and use that $6 million towards Manny.
