Colletti stays the course with Billingsley Dodgers GM Ned Colletti revealed in an interview yesterday on SIRIUS XM that he has spoken to All-Star pitcher Chad Billingsley numerous times this winter about his late-season struggles. Colletti is not inclined to trade the young right-hander. “It’s tough to replace a Chad Billingsley. I know people are disappointed with what transpired the last two-plus months of the season. Prior to that, you could probably compare him to a lot of the upper echelon starting pitching in the game who’s 26, 27 years old and younger. What we need to do is we don’t need to subtract as much as we need to add. He struggled. We’ll see what he learns from the struggle because everybody loses. It’s what you learn when you lose. If I’m going to trade a good young pitcher, we’d have to get two pretty good starters back, which people just don’t have to trade. I’m confident in Chad that he can come back. I’ve talked to him a handful of times this winter… “Sometimes, you have to make your guys better. You just can’t continue to expect to fill everything from the outside and continue to sign free agents and continue to trade away players. You end up in the same spot more times than not and most of the time worse off than before you started making moves… “A lot of people were down on Matt Kemp a couple of years ago. It takes time. You have to be patient. I think the toughest thing for a lot of us to do is to fight off the urge to be impatient.” http://tinyurl.com/nedonchad Colletti接受电台访问时谈到道奇对Billingsley的计画 并非照字面翻的大意： 要取代Chad这样的投手很困难 很多人去年对他失望 但是，人都有输球的时候，重点是（Chad）从中学会什麽 要交易一个年轻好投手，就得换两个好投手回来才合算 没有人有这种东西可以交易的 有信心Chad明年会回神 不能一直仰赖从外面签人、把新秀换走来补洞 这样换到底还是原地踏步，甚至更糟 以前大家也都对Kemp失望（指的应是爱拿他开刀的洛城媒体） 但要有耐心，对我们而言，最难的事情往往是要抗拒失去耐心的冲动 === 不知道是真的要保住Chad（因为老板要离婚，没钱了） 还是要把Chad的交易价值提高（因为老板要离婚，没钱了） --
