[h1]Dodgers Seek Run-Producing Pinch Hitter[/h1]
By Ben Nicholson-Smith [August 28 at 3:14pm CST]

The Dodgers are looking to acquire a pinch hitter with power for the final month of the season, according to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick. The Dodgers have Mark Loretta and Juan Pierre off the bench, but neither player has much power, so they're looking outside the organization.

So far, Gurnick says the market for such bats appears thin. Jonny Gomes and Tony Clark could interest the Dodgers, but that's mere speculation on my part.

So this pretty much means MKZ is done?

I like Tony Clark, brings that power off the bench.

What happened to Doug?? He's not coming back?

Mark Loretta and Juan Pierre are nice utility players, that's about it.

His rehab stint didn't do to well, I believe he had a couple hits but experienced a lot of soreness the day after and such ... so they kinda shut him down.

Oh I want the Giants to do well so we can beat them in the playoffs.

Especially since my roommate is a Gnats fan.

If I'm Ned, I go get Sheffield.

I doubt that will happen, especially with what he said about Joe Torre a couple of years ago.

 

[Los Angeles]

Yup, Sheff is a damn headcase.

He burned too many bridges in his stay here in Los Angeles, I know its been a different GM since Sheff has left but he wasn't the most liked playerwe've had.

 

[frenchblue23]

A player like Tony Clark is great for the clubhouse. I would be down for that, but I don't know how much he has left to offer?

i was so pissed when kevin malone traded sheffield away. i pretty much was pissed at everything malone did actually

 

[Los Angeles]

wasn't sheff on his yearly hissy-fit and demanded to be traded?

Sheffield causes too many problems. And you don't wanna face the giants in a 7 game series. Facing lincecum 3 times and cain 2 times if it goes thedistance....uh uh

 

[Los Angeles]

where did the bills we know go?!

and Russ's lazy @*% attempt to block the ball

 

[badboyf0life420]

damn that guy in the crowd is about loose his voice.. he can shout.

 

[kahlow]

i know im not the only one that heard that

 

[in yo nostril]

one of these games huh

 

[in yo nostril]

3 run home run coming up

 

[in yo nostril]

SMH

 

[Los Angeles]

I think Manny has it in his head that when he comes up he needs to swing for the fences all the time

Anyways, HIDEOUS pitching performance from bills. I mean this guy hasn't looked like the Bills we know since that leg injury (I'll also attribute thatoff-season leg injury not helping out his stamina one bit).

He didn't give the team a chance to win and I'm surprised Joe kept him in that long.
