This is being written under the assumption that the double steal in the 7th inning was called for from the bench. That assumption could be wrong – if so, just replace “Eric Wedge” with whoever decided to try this.

Adam Kennedy Gets a Major League Roster Spot
Ned Colletti has reportedly given Adam Kennedy a major league contract. $800,000 is not a big deal to a major league team — it’s not even going to be 1% of the final player budget for the Dodgers. But why not save almost a half-million dollars?
Kennedy put the tenth-worst wOBA among players with at least 350 plate appearances last year. Only Adam Dunnn and Casey McGehee...

Adam Kennedy Will Bring More Value Than Mark Ellis
It happens every year. Ned Colletti signs some guy to an above the market contract (Uribe, Ramirez, a million others) and over the course of the deal that player doesn’t earn what he’s signed for.
Then Colletti signs someone that’s overlooked to be a utility player, and the guy outperforms his contract (Carroll, Miles, etc).
So with Mark Ellis having a pretty bad injury history...
