Yeah, I mentioned this a few posts ago. It seems like a good solution. I know they traded for Betemit, but it seems like those 4 infielders need to play full time.

COME LUGO HIT!
No kidding, I'd love to see him keep Kemp on the bench. Now has 4 games started at 2B, and I think he'll start hitting soon. There's a period of adjustment with a new locale/team, Felipe Lopez just went through a trade and has adjusted - hit .409 with 4 SB last week.

Once Nomar Garciaparra and Jeff Kent return from the disabled list, Julio Lugo could be used as a utility man by the Dodgers. Not only will he spend time at all the infield spots, the Dodgers have talked about giving Lugo some time in center field. "I don't like it," Lugo said. "But I just came here to try to help this team win."
WAY TO PLAY YOURSELF INTO THIS LUGO. God I wish he just accepted the deal the D-rays gave him. Luckily I picked up Upton.
