Ned Colletti: assembling a team to take on the world... if it was 2000

Our friend Ned recently added the ageless Greg Maddux to his collection of fomer superstars. While the addition of Mad dog was not a bad move, it looks more like a desperate move to save his team's division hopes. But I've got it all figured out.

Colletti has somehow been hypnotized to think that it's the turn of the century again. Because if it was 8 years or so ago, the Dodgers would clean up. It was a simpler time when Maddux was still one of the best pitchers in baseball, Nomar and Andruw were budding superstars, Kent was tearing in up in San Fran, Lowe was a stud closer, Saito was still cleaning up in Japan, Furcal was rookie of the year, Penny, Pierre, and Berroa were hotshot prospects, and Manny was the best hitter in baseball who has not to date been implicated in the steroid scandal. Of course, most of the other players were in little league or high school, but I'm sure Ned has a plan for that.
