I've read moneyball, and it will be interesting to see how this master plan of DePodesta's works out. But it doesn't matter that Izturis is the best defensive shortshop in the game when the rest of the infield will probably give the dodgers the worst fielding percentage in the NL. I'm not sure the dodgers will finish much higher than third...</p>
