It appears the Dodgers will use Rickey Henderson at least initially in left and bat leadoff until Dave roberts returns. In Newark he hit .339 with 9 SBs in 56 games.
I think I will take a flyer on Rickey because he has something to prove and could be a cheap soarce of steals.
He was also dubbed the MVP of the League's All-Star Game.
Your thoughts?

Unless you are desperate I would see no use in him.....
Pitching is better in the majors and he still may get on as he has always had a good obp% but I dont see him as getting many steals and he still does not have much of an offense behind him so I would think he may not score runs all that much....
I just dont see him as getting many of the key stats one needs..

With LoDuca, S.Green, Burnitz batting behind him, the top of the order doesn't look too ugly anymore.

Green better pick it up because he has looked clueless thus far in the 1st half.....
Burnitz could be a nice addition though...
We'll see.....

don't think he's going to get a bunch of steals, he didn't run that much in Newark, he hit well and scored a bunch of runs, but only 9 steals, the only use he would have for a fantasy team would be scoring runs, and that's assuming the rest of the Dodgers' team can knock him in
