Dodgers' nucleus will be back in 2010
Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti felt little consolation Wednesday night following his team's defeat in the National League Championship Series, despite the fact that he will bring most of his club back intact for 2010. The wound was still too fresh, the disappointment too intense.

Dodgers need to acquire an ace
Nova Fantasy Sports Headline Newsfeed — Update: MLB.com  reports that Andre Ethier believes the Dodgers need to acquire an ace in order to get back to the World Series. Fantasy Impact: The Dodgers have lost back-to-back NLCS against the Phillies while the Phillies got ace-like performances from Cole Hamels in the 2008 NLCS and from Cliff Lee this year. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have a potential future ace in 21 year old Clayton Kershaw, but too much was expected of him this year. If the Dodgers can acquire an ace like Roy Halladay via a trade or John Lackey in the free agent market, they'll be able to slide Kershaw and the rest of their starters down and be much better off.

What's next for the Dodgers?
ESPN Feed: neyer rob — As Matthew Leach writes, the just-eliminated Dodgers are pretty well set for next season, with one real exception : Well, that depends on how multi the multi is, right? Over the last three seasons, Wolf is 32-25 with a solid ERA and two-and-a-half times as many strikeouts as walks. Sure, he's been hurt sometimes -- though not lately -- and he barely grazes 90 with his fastball. But go back and look at the sort of contracts that veteran pitchers -- pitchers not as good as Wolf -- have signed over the years. I don't think the Dodgers should shoot for the moon, but a two- or three-year deal is perfectly appropriate. Granted, it's true that without Wolf or Padilla (another free-agent-to-be) the ...
