Ellis behind the plate.

All the Dodgers need is 1965 Koufax and Drysdale and their all set.

But that was then. He is now incapable of any offensive threat, and at his age, some defensive regression is to be expected. I guess LA has more money than we thought they did. But with Ellis in the lineup he has to bat 8th.

He isn’t much with the bat though.

I can’t wait until Needle Head Ned is our former GM.

Ellis at 2B and Juan Uribe at 3B (with $14 million left)? I don’t think SS Dee Gordon has that much range to cover all of that ground.
