08:12 AM ET 08.30 | A team can never have enough arms -- it's just that affording them is the problem, though perhaps less so in Los Angeles these days. The Dodgers are concerned that the injured Chad Billingsley might not return this season, apparently explaining why the team remains in search of starting pitching even after acquiring Josh Beckett last week. Stan Kasten, the Dodgers' president and chief executive officer, said Thursday night that he fears Billingsley is done for the year. Kasten spoke at a fan discussion presented by the Los Angeles Times and moderated by columnist Bill Dwyre. In an interview later, Kasten said his comments were made out of concern and "not based on medical evidence."

You have got two days left Bill to go out and buy another player. Sooner or later your organization will realize that you cannot buy a championship team every year.

Every year? This is the first season the Dodgers have had money to spend in a decade.

Cran you need to try another line of work, instead of being a mind reader.

If the Dodgers were looking for good starting pitching, why did they sign Beckett?
