Dodgers to Be Winter Wallflowers

...but at least Chad Billingsley isn't going anywhere. From "Dodgers likely to be patient at Meetings" by Ken Gurnick at Dodgers.com:

The Hot Stove is going to be is going to be powered by a can of Sterno this year. To see how the Dodgers are faring, keep your eyes on what the rest of the division does.

UPDATE: Still, holes need to be filled. Here's an indication of the level the Dodgers are operating at (all links from MLBTR):
