Please! Please! Please!

From the LA Times and Steve Henson:

Four of the five managerial candidates to be interviewed by the Dodgers next week will be Terry Collins, Jerry Royster, Alan Trammell and Torey Lovullo, General Manager Paul DePodesta said Wednesday.

DePodesta would not divulge the fifth candidate because he has been unable to reach him. The person is employed by another team not in the playoffs.

The fifth name can't be Dusty, can it? He *has* been stuck in organizational meetings all week and that might make it tough for him to talk to DePodesta.

Then again, Dusty won't come cheap (and the Dodger's owner is cheap), and Dusty's 1-2 punch of Korey-Neifi doesn't exactly scream "MONEYBALL-OBP" does it?

Then again, if Dusty wants out of Chicago bad enough... And the Cubs have signaled that they are offering only 2 more years and it won't be offered until February...
