T.J. Simers skewers Ned Colletti

L.A. Times writer T.J. Simers says the Dodgers don't know how to make a deal, and begs Ned Colletti not to make a deal in his latest column. He goes as far as asking Colletti to leave the country for the next month so he can't acquire players like Esteban Loaiza again.

The phone rings, and it's Colletti. "Please, please, no more trades," I begin, while suggesting a vacation that might take him overseas for the next few weeks.

"I've never been to Europe," he says, and I think we could get a collection going and make that happen.

It's a pretty humorous article in the least, but goes to show at least part of the reason the Dodgers haven't won anything in 20 years.
