Rumblings

• The Dodgers have expressed interest in starting pitcher Kris Benson.

• The Guillermo Mota deal is not done, reports Tony Jackson.

• Fire Ned Colletti Now has an excellent report on Dodgers players and their winter league progress.

• True Blue LA, and Sons of Steve Garvey share opinions on lack of excitement this off-season, and wonder when/what the Dodgers are going to do.

In a final thought, we know the Dodgers are playing it patient this off-season. Kim Ng confirmed this when she dropped the date of February 14th as a semi deadline, and said it may be weeks before anything is done with Manny. Assuming the Dodgers do sign Ramirez, when do you think it will be? Lets set the over/under for February 11th, two weeks before spring training. I'll take the over.
