 Baseball Toaster: Dodger Thoughts : Cesar Izturis To Become Chone Figgins?
While the concept of Izturis as a starting outfielder isn't going to float too many boats, there's nothing wrong with the idea of expanding his apparent role as a backup (assuming the middle infield of Jeff Kent and Rafael Furcal stays healthy).
The Dodgers could plug Izturis in at second, shortstop, third base and center field, the way the Angels have done with Chone Figgins for long stretches in recent years, at least until a trade comes through with a team that could use a starter at short.
29 Izturis would be real upgrade at short for the Nationals (Royce Clayton, ex-injured Cristian Guzman), but you do have to shudder for Nationals fans at what Jim Bowden might offer for a gold-glove AS shortstop who hit as well as Izturis did for the first six weeks of last season.
