The longest running free agent soap opera of 2008 ended with the Dodgers Web Site reporting Rafy Furcal will be our SS in 2009. Going to be a lot he said, she said in the aftermath of this fiasco but in the end Rafy chose the Dodgers over the Braves. 1. Mark Loretta - Utility 2. Casey Blake - 3rd Base 3. Rafy Furcal - SS 4. Manny Ramirez- ??? 5. Starting Pitcher - ??? Chips are falling into place.

After three days of blah blah blah we don't have much to show for it. This is what we do know. 1. The Dodgers have their 3rd baseman in Casey Blake 2. The Dodgers have their utility player/platoon mate for DeWitt in Loretta 3.
