Ned Colletti has been going to various Los Angeles book stores promoting his new book, The Big Chair. While I have not yet picked it up, it’s made me reflect over the past few days on Colletti’s run as the general manager of the Dodgers. While he often is criticized for failed signings like Jason Schmidt, Andruw Jones, and Juan Pierre, it seems to me that Colletti gets a raw deal. Let’s not forget he also had to keep the team running successfully while the McCourts were busy fighting over the Dodgers. It’s safe to say that Ned was working away in a very toxic environment.
