Sitting out for him will be the best thing for the team. Let him get his salary and then go. I'm not trying to be mean but he is a shadow of what he once was, which wasn't too much. He sits out, Frank collects half his salary from insurance...good move.

LOS ANGELES -- Darren Dreifort, who almost certainly has thrown his
last pitch for the Dodgers, will undergo what he hopes is his last
operation on Feb. 15, when doctors plan to do exploratory surgery on
his right shoulder.
Dreifort, 33, required arthroscopic hip repair and reconstructive ACL
knee surgery last season. He had left-knee surgery in January and the
shoulder operation will make 14 procedures since he became a Dodger.
Trainer Stan Johnston concedes Dreifort's pitching days might be
over.
"He has given his body to the game," said Johnston.
General manager Paul DePodesta would not say whether Dreifort would
pitch again.
"I think he still has a long road ahead of him," he said.
Dreifort, however, will remain on the 40-man roster and will spend
the season on the disabled list, which will allow him to receive
$13.4 million in the last year of a five-year deal. The Dodgers will
be reimbursed about half that amount through disability insurance.
