LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers will play their customary role at the center of the Hot Stove League this offseason as they name a new manager and, quite likely, a replacement for Cy Young Award candidate Zack Greinke.
How they go about the latter will be an indication of how aggressively management shifts from paying top dollar for proven marquee talent to its stated model of sustainable, in-house player development.
Whichever path it takes, the pitching staff needs rebuilding, there's a hole to fill at second base again and the outfield needs a run producer.
