DODGERS: ZEILE `PRIMARY GUY'.


Todd Zeile
    Todd Edward Zeile (born September 9, 1965 in Van Nuys, California) is a former third baseman and first baseman in Major League Baseball who played from 1989 to 2004.
    , who has played for four teams - the St. Louis Cardinals For the National Football League team that played in St. Louis from 1960 to 1987, see .
    The St. Louis Cardinals (also referred to as "the Cards" or "the Redbirds") are a professional baseball team based in St. Louis, Missouri.
    , Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies and Baltimore Orioles - in the past two seasons, is ``the primary guy'' in the Dodgers' search for a third baseman, according to Dodgers executive vice president Fred Claire.

    Claire said he recently spoke to Zeile and his agent, Sam Levinson, but could not determine if or when they would sign Zeile, a free agent who played at Hart High School Hart High School may refer to:
    • Hart High School — Newhall, California
    • Hart High School — Hart, Michigan
    • Hart County High School — Munfordville, Kentucky
    • Hart County High School — Hartwell, Georgia
     and UCLA UCLA University of California at Los Angeles
    UCLA University Center for Learning Assistance (Illinois State University)
    UCLA University of Carrollton, TX and Lower Addison, TX
    .

    ``This time of year,'' Claire said, `` `close' is hard to define.''

    He added that budget constraints would not allow the club to spend significant amounts of money on both a third baseman and a second baseman, and therefore he has earmarked that money for a third baseman.

    But not Bobby Bonilla.

    Bonilla's agent, Dennis Gilbert, asked the Dodgers on Thursday if they would like to enter into negotiations for Bonilla, a free agent who has drawn interest from the San Francisco Giants The San Francisco Giants are a Major League Baseball team based in San Francisco, California that currently play in the National League West Division.

    Bonilla is expected to command more than $5 million per season in a multiyear deal, a price Claire was not willing to pay.
