He's Back!
The Dodgers have signed Rickey Henderson. He should help; the Dodgers have the lowest OBA from the #1 slot in the NL, .289. The next closest is the Expos at .304. Even if Rickey is lousy by his standards, he should help the team. I'm glad to see him back. I got to see Rickey play earlier this year when Newark visited Bridgeport. I thought he could play then.
The Dodgers also got Jeromy Burnitz from the Mets to replace the injured Brian Jordan. He's probably a good fit; if he could generate a slugging percentage in the high .500's playing half his games in Shea, he should have similar results in Dodger Stadium.
