Many roster changes for Los Angeles Dodgers this winter

By Allan

Los Angeles Dodgers GM Ned Colletti hinted that there are likely to be many changes to the team’s roster this upcoming winter, according to Tony Jackson of ESPNLosAngeles.com.

Jackson says:
Colletti cited the fact the Dodgers replaced only three of their frontline players from last year’s team — starting pitcher Randy Wolf, reliever Guillermo Mota and second baseman Orlando Hudson — and said he anticipates more widespread adjustments to next year’s team.

“I think there are going to be more changes than there were a year ago,” Colletti said. “… There are obviously some areas where we need to improve. There have been some cases where we have seen continued advancement. There have been some cases where we have seen a leveling off. And there are other cases where we have seen regression.”

Colletti declined to address any specific regarding players or reasons why the Dodgers underachieved.

“We play on grass, not on paper,” Colletti said. “It is obvious by our record that no matter what people may have thought they knew about this team when the season began, our record indicates otherwise.”

Yesterday, we heard that there’s speculation that the Dodgers will be active in the trade market, but will be limited in the free agent market over the winter.
