    “It’s hard for me to put into words what it means to be named manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers,” Roberts said in a news release. “This is truly the opportunity of a lifetime.

    "The Dodgers are the ground-breaking franchise of Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Sandy Koufax, Maury Wills, Fernando Valenzuela and Hideo Nomo. When I put on this uniform as a player, I understood the special responsibility to honor those that played before me as well as the amazing bond between the Dodgers and their fans. I feel that I have now come full circle in my career and there is plenty of unfinished business left in L.A.”

    I know people are just kidding about the racist stuff when describing me but just so y'all know I was born in Yokosuka Naval Hospital to a Japanese mother and a father who was a Navy man. Dave was born in Okinawa to a Japanese mother and a father who was in the Army. So I can relate. Anyway.....Come on down Kenta Maeda? Okay that was borderline racist. :D

    Borderline because he is Japanese but I put the smiley face to show I was kidding. I was thinking Maeda could see us a destination because of the fellow Nihongine being our new Manager. If he's posted.

    I don't care if he is half Martian and half Kardassian, as long as he can manage a baseball team.

    Missing the point I only mentioned his ethnicity becasuse I have something in common with the guy and that it's our FIRST ethic Manager in HISTORY. This is a very significant hire. I get it he has to perform but I didn't want to be Captain obvious. :D

    I think the Dodgers should have done this years ago, but better late than never.

    I'm yet to see an explanation of what makes him so qualified. Potential for another Donnie Dumbarse.

    In his playing days he was known on the board I used to post on as "Pigpen", because I don't think he ever took the field without getting his uniform dirty. Before the game was over his uni was gonna be a mess.

    Interesting...probably not so appropriate any more, since he's pushing the buttons...a name may surface as time goes on, and developes a managing " style". Like Torre's "destroy all arms" approach, for instance.
    What about NZ's suggestion (sort of suggestion, anyway)... DumDum Redux?
    Way too soon?
    Actually, the guy sounds intelligent.

    I think he played prior to your arrival on the baseball scene
    But those of us that saw him play w the Dodgers know he was a smart aggressive ballplayer
    Not sure if he can translate that into success as a manager but Im giving the benefit of the doubt to the baseball men that vetted him
    Or he could have just given the interview of his life but I have to think he will at least manage w imagination and toughness
    Thats a big improvement over the previous regime and worth a shot
    Ill take it over a recycle like Dusty or a a non Dodger
