You can judge DeWitt's stats as terrible by looking at his 2009 stats in the minors, majors, and winter ball.

He hasn't hit well in the majors yet. He was terrible in the minors this season. Winter ball has got off to a terrible start as well. He will be a career minor leaguer, or at best utility bench player. I want DeWitt to work, but it's hard to ignore the facts. Trade him while he still has value and potential.

Beltre is not the answer guys. There are better options at second that play the position more naturally. If you are going to get Beltre you might as well spend a little more and go after Figgins.

Ron you got the right idea.

I think they need to go after Dan Ugla from Florida. He's average defensively, but the offense he will generate will more than make up for his lack of defensive skills. Don’t trade Loney at any cost; he’s a table setter, and should be towards the top of the lineup – he will get on base and then Kemp, Either, Manny will have more chances to drive in runs. You want to improve the offense, Move Fucal! No amount of defense can make up for his lack of offense at the top of the lineup. The dodgers need baserunners for the big guys – it’s that simple!

Beltre is NOT a good fit. You diminsh the value of Blake. Second base is a much more demanding position physically than 3rd. Keep Blake at 3rd and go after a free agent at second (Lopez)

How about signing Adrian Beltre. He wouldn't be as expensive as he was when he left. He plays a great third base and he adds power to the line-up. Casey Blake could move to second. He doesn't have the same range as Hudson, but he does have a very solid glove. This move could add power to the line-up so there wouldn't be a push to trade Loney.
