Good News:  Dodgers Signed Nomar
Bad News: To play 1B, when LF is the obvious need

[rik]

Yeah I knew this was goin to happen. Pretty good signing but you are right we do need a LF.

There's still hope though that Nomar will play LF, it hasnt been officially stated that he will play any position

Yeah I read that he will play first until Izturis gets back from the dl then he will move to the outfield.

[Real American]

Crap. I was hoping he would sign with the Indians.

If he can stay healthy it's a good signing.

That's all what the writers hope happens.  They always use these words "expected to" and "believed to..".  It also isn't a smart decision to make Nomar switch positions in the middle of the season.

Nomar sux

haha Nomar is gay... but we need all the help we can get.... welcome aboard, asshole 

[Javier]

When healthy the guy can hit.  He's played under 100 games for two straight seasons.  I expect him to OPS at .800-.850.  Which is what Choi/Saenz can at 1/6th the price

thank god the stankees didnt get them

hahaha yeah i thought maybe Nomar would head over there
