Dodgers hire Colletti as g.m.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have hired Ned Colletti as their new g.m.

One of the big plusses about Colletti seems to be that he was willing to interview for the job, since just about everyone else outside the organization that was contacted about the position seems to have declined to interview.

This is after reports yesterday that Theo Epstein had been offered a small ownership stake in the Dodgers if he would take the general manager's job there.

In any case, with Colletti now the g.m., I expect that the Hershiser situation should be resolved shortly.
