Found December 15, 2011 on Feelin' Kinda Blue: Yardbarker Blogger Network

TEAMS: Oakland Athletics,  Los Angeles Dodgers,  Texas Rangers

The Dodgers tendered James Loney a contract on Monday, to no surprise. The light-hitting first baseman is scheduled to make somewhere in the neighborhood of $6 to $7 million.I had a thought the team might consider non-tendering him, allowing Juan Rivera and Jerry Sands to take over first base duties. The Dodgers signed Tony Gwynn on Monday, so the possibility was there. However, the team would likely have needed another outfielder, despite a bevy of youngsters in the minors. Alas, it didn't happen, but it wouldn't have been the worst move ever made.It will be nice to see Loney digging throws out of the dirt, though. He's one of the best in the league at doing so.This leads us to the Dodgers' apparent interest in Coco Crisp.Why?Why is this team interested in another light-hitting outfielder?

How Will the Dodgers Score Runs in 2012?

Via Fangraphs  |  December 15, 2011
In 2011, the Dodgers scored 644 runs, ninth in the National League. The offense was powered, of course, by Matt Kemp, who just missed the batting Triple Crown. The next most significant offensive contributions after Kemp came from veteran infielder Jamey Carroll, a somewhat-injured Andre Ethier, and a second-half surging James Loney. And that was pretty much it. Carroll’s...

Well, we all know that there ain't much more happening in Colletti-land for the rest of this off-season (cries). But at least we can keep up with some former Dodgers and where they're headed! The Arizona Diamondbacks signed 41-year-old Takashi Saito for one year, $1.75M. So I guess we'll see Sammy around Chavez Ravine a bit more in 2012 (relative to when he played...
