Dodgers Showing Interest In Robb Quinlan

MLB.com's Lyle Spencer is tweeting that the Dodgers are interested in the versatile Robb Quinlan as a fourth outfielder.

Now I know what you are thinking, so please refrain from cussing. The rumors of the washed up veterans, the reclamation projects, and players that don't really fill the void we are looking for, is getting really old and tiresome. Well don't kill the messenger is all I can say. The good news is, this is just a rumor, and not a guaranteed signing. The Dodgers are keeping their options open, something they should be doing.

While Quinlan is not better than any in-house option we may have. He remains an option, and the front office feels it's an option worth exploring. Quinlan could fill several voids the Dodgers face in 2010. He can play both corner outfield and infield positions, though defensively not very well. Guess what it gets better, he can't hit the ball, and he runs slower than Manny Ramirez. Oh and did I mention he is old, and never had a good season in the majors.

It will be a miracle if this guy even gets a non-roster invite from the Dodgers.
