Welcome to L.A., Joe!

LOS ANGELES -- Joe Torre was hired Thursday to manage the Los Angeles Dodgers, taking the job two weeks after walking away from the New York Yankees.

"Joe Torre comes with a great resume," Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said on a conference call. "What he's done the last 12 years is as powerful as any manager in recent memory."

The winningest manager in postseason history, Torre moved from one storied franchise to another, agreeing to a three-year, $13 million contract. He becomes the Dodgers' eighth manager since they left his hometown, where he rooted for the rival New York Giants.

1. I actually think this is a good move for the Dodgers.
