The only people who truly hate him are over-the-top fanatics with no life outside their unhealthy preoccupation with little boys’ games.

Could Dee slide over to 2B?

Looking forward to him playing well this Winter and showing up next Spring ready to rock.

In LA, he is a big fish with other big fishes. Hanley;s reactions in LA will be more muted.

Now, if the Dodgers insist he bat 6th or 7th, then there might be some issues. But the lineup he will be part of in 2013 should be enough for him to play 3rd base without complaint.

Hanley wasn’t bad defensively, but thought he should have been the star shortstop. If he didn’t move over for an established star like Jose Reyes, I can’t wait to see his reaction when they ask him to move for Dee Gordon.

Why on Earth the Dodgers haven’t revoked his press pass is beyond me…

Its entertaining.
