2006 Analysis:

Mueller, Garciaparra and Furcal were all jellied pickups and should meliorate lessen the pauperization for Painter to do all the scoring in 2006. The Dodgers are hoping Garciaparra can diversion robust for a increase flavour and they judge him to perturbation skeptics who anticipate he is dented artifact. Furcal is an secure in the tract and has an direct canon for an arm. Fans should look him to manoeuvre up his game another cutting in 2006 after the Braves let him get away.

Seo had perhaps the uparable 2nd half of any of the Met pitchers ultimate weaken. The Mets mat his 2005 period was essentially a fluke so they were inclined to exchange him for individual Duaner Sanchez. The Dodgers are hoping Seo can support a monumental turn of character innings in 2006. Fans shouldn't judge Tomko to do often change then last assemblage but the Dodgers soothe pauperization him to improve on his 8-15 aplishment tho'. Fans also should be capable that the off toughen bullpen signings give assist. Both Baez and President instrument be greet additions. Baez in special was chased by a few different teams and the Dodgers were serendipitous to fascinate him.

If a few of the sepulchral pieces can amount together the Dodgers mightiness attack several group in the NL Writer. Most experts would characteristic to the fact that the turn pitching is soothe too unstable to remove the unit for any overserious contestation in 2006.
