Don&amp;#39;t get me wrong, Giles is a good guy and I wouldn&amp;#39;t mind him being the veteran clubhouse guy in 2010. The issue I have is how many of these guys do the Dodgers need lying around? Colletti couldn&amp;#39;t have found something better to spend the money on? Also keep in mind for every player that has to be added to the 40 man roster, one has to be removed.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296992921515610203/2045860995680114052/comments/default/4628249693303791606'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296992921515610203/2045860995680114052/comments/default/4628249693303791606'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.dodgersrumors.com/2010/02/brian-giles-signs-minor-league-deal.html?showComment=1265774063911#c4628249693303791606' title=''/><author><name>Shaun Garrison</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07612183408172392010</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='14356025768296711873'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.dodgersrumors.com/2010/02/brian-giles-signs-minor-league-deal.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296992921515610203.post-2045860995680114052' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/296992921515610203/posts/default/2045860995680114052' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-296992921515610203.post-5062880703704229405</id><published>2010-02-09T12:48:23.110-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-09T12:48:23.110-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Is it possible that Colletti is stocking these vet...</title><content type='html'>Is it possible that Colletti is stocking these veterans hoping they won&amp;#39;t make the big league club, but will provide leadership to the minor league teams?
