Nice to see Mark Hendrickson is out of there. A few interesting names are available. Let's start with some possibilities.

Pitchers:

Kiko Calero - Had an off year last year on a bad Oakland team, but if you look at his stats from the previous seasons he could be a cheap pick-up in a bounce back year.

Akinori Otsuka
- Terrific year last year even though he was injured. He was just about unhittable with the Pads a few years back and could provide solid seventh inning relief as a bridge from the starter to Broxton. His rehab has had some positive reports & he could easily give the Dodgers a boost.

Matt Wise - Wise had a great K/BB ratio last season but his ERA was a little high in the hitter friendly Miller Park.

Mark Prior - Ah, Prior, the former Ace. Since 2003 (his 18 win season) Prior has either been injured or extremely hittable. Though at probably 4 million prorated due to his sitting out the first 2 or 3 months it might be worth the gamble to see what he has left in the tank. I personally, think he goes to the Pads.

Infielders:

Morgan Ensberg - It's a real shame the way this guy's career has gone into the dumps after that one break out season. If the Dodgers are interested in signing him they would be better off with La Roche and Garciahamm.
