Yeah, we signed Manny since my last post

Expect the following lineup regularly, after a while:

Furcal
Kemp
Manny
Ethier
Martin
Loney
Hudson
Blake

although to be fair, a more optimized lineup would look like

Furcal
Martin
Ethier
Manny
Loney
Kemp
Hudson
Blake

but in any event, the Dodgers figure to finally have a good offense. If Kemp and Loney realize their potential, this lineup could become downright vicious.

Also it looks like McDonald gets the 5th starter spot, joining Billingsley, Kuroda, Kershaw and the overrated Randy Wolf. Were Wolf not as homer-prone, he'd be dynamite, but you can't complain about the top three of the rotation.

There are just the injury risks to worry about: Furcal, Hudson, Blake, Manny, Billingsley (although not arm related), Wolf, and we're kinda screwed if anything happens to Russell Martin. Our backup options are more Blake DeWitt, more Juan Pierre, which are above-replacement replacements. One should be optimistic.
