Tony Jackson at the LA Daily News spoke to Nick Colletti today. For what it's worth:
Colletti didn't talk to Boras today. In talking with Colletti about the Wolf signing, I did ask whether there would come a time when the Dodgers will have to simply move on so that the uncertainty of whether Manny is coming back won't create too many other uncertainties, such as who will and who won't be in the everyday lineup. He said this:
"At some point in time, yes, but I'm not sure when that point in time will come yet. We signed Furcal, we signed Loretta, we signed Ausmus, we signed Casey Blake, we signed Wolf, and we signed Mota. We haven't been sitting and waiting for one player to sign. We have been active, and we have continued to put a club together. At some point in time, we have to come to a conclusion. But we're not there yet, and we're still open-minded."
Well, that's something, I guess. If Colletti's talking to Boras every day, that's not a good sign. It's a sign of desperation. I still believe a deal with Manny will be done, especially since it seems the Giants and other suitors do not appear to be serious.
But bragging about signing Mark Loretta (a journeyman now) and Brad Ausmus (a lighter-than-air-hitting backup who will be hardly used by Torre) and re-upping Casey Blake (an third-tier third baseman who had no other options)? Really, Nick. You're above that. Or should be.
