The Dodgers #1 goal in free agency is to retain Manny Ramirez, but, C.C Sabathia has stated that he wants to pitch near his Southern California home. Still, for the Dodgers to sign Sabathia he would have to give up some jack as they won’t come near matching the Yanks 6-year, $140 million dollar offer. The Dodgers will likely also make offers to A.J. Burnett, Ben Sheets, Randy Johnson and Oliver Perez. They need more than one starting pitcher so they might also add one from the second tier including Jon Garland, Braden Looper, Paul Byrd or Pedro Martinez. The Dodgers also need lefty help in the bullpen and they will likely be in on Joe Beimel, Brian Shouse, Arthur Rhodes, Darren Oliver, Dennys Reyes, Alan Embree, Will Ohman, Eddie Guardado and Trever Miller. The Dodgers also have to rebuild the infield as they need a 2B, SS and 3B. The #1 priority on the infield will be trying to bring back Rafael Furcal. If they lose out on Furcal then Orlando Cabrera, Edgar Renteria, Felipe Lopez and Juan Uribe are in play. At 2B the Dodgers will likely look to a less expensive veteran like Mark Grudzielanek or Mark Loretta. 3B is pretty thin with just Casey Blake and Joe Crede starter worthy. The Dodgers might elect to go with 2nd year man Blake DeWitt at 3B if they don’t re-sign Blake or sign Crede. The Dodgers could also use a legit backup for Russell Martin so that he doesn’t get burned out. Paul LoDuca, Gregg Zaun, Michael Barrett and Javier Valentin all make sense for the Dodgers.
