On another note, the Dodgers are also rumored to be showing interest in Dayan Viciedo - the 19 year old Cuban ball player who defected this past summer. Dayan made his debut in Cuban professional baseball at 15. 15!!!

BaseballAmerica offers the following scouting report blurb:
"Viciedo, born in March 1989, is listed at 6-foot-1, 210 pounds, but reports are that he was bigger than that last year at the World Junior Championship in Mexico. Viciedo has excellent power and hitting ability, however, with one scout comparing him to Giants prospect Angel Villalona. He slugged over .500 two of the last three seasons in Cuba’s Serie Nacional, its top-level league, hitting 14 homers in 2005-2006—as a 16-year-old—in his best season."
"His body could go the same route as Livan Hernandez, and when I saw him in Mexico, he wasn’t very good at third base anymore," one international scouting director said. "But he can really hit; in fact, I think he’s probably a better hitter than Villalona."
Dayan plays 3B, OF, and I have seen him listed at SS. For the life of me I cannot find any detailed stats on the kid.

This is a weird request, but hear me out. Can you write about the divorce business going on with the Pads...I feel like you will put a great spin on it. If you wonder how it relates to the dodgers...aparently they're interested in Hoffman.
