Good moves by the Dodgers picking up Loretta and Blake. If they pull off a deal for Cano, or somehow work out a deal for Michael Young, their infiled will be set. They can pat themselves on the back all they want, but it ignores the 160 million pound elephant.No doubt Blake helped them in their divisonal run, and for a starting thied baseman, he is relatively cheap.

He's a good sparkplug at the top of the order, but his fielding is abysmal and he missed 80% of last year.Give Colletti some credit- Even his bad signings are never long term deals. Are we still paying Kevin…
