Even though, he is not technically a prospect, James Outman, who spent most of 2024 at AAA has to be at the top of this list. In fact, I think this is a “make or break” year for James. There are a few other players who could make an impact for the Dodgers in 2025, but I think we…
I think every Dodger fan wants Teoscar Hernandez back. As we have talked about ad nauseum, there are market forces that could de-rail that. Then, it is time to punt and move to Plan B, which very well could be Luis Robert, Jr. He has All-Star potential and a M.A.S.H. unit injury…
Let me start with the fact that he wants to be a Dodgers and the Dodgers would like him back! Let me also add that last season he did not sign until Janualry 17th! I want to make it clear that this is a business and if some team offers just two or three million dollars more than…
Every now and then, it is all about random stuff: So, did Chris Taylor get a stay of execution, at least until Max Muncy comes back from the IL? Shohei Ohtani tries too hard with runners on (HR included). The Dodgers might sit Vargas for a game or two, just so he is not too…
Last night’s loss was all on Dave Roberts. He made the decision to only pitch the two call-ups from OKC and no one else! Well, of course, the front office was in on it, too, but if it makes you feel better, blame Dave. Of course, that is sarcasm, but with Snidley Whiplash…
If Mookie Betts hits .520 this year, the Dodgers will have no worries. Actually, the TOP SIX of the Dodgers batting order are delivering at a rate that is scary. It’s the BOTTOM THREE that are also scary: Chris Taylor has 1 hit in 9 ABs and has struck out 5 times – BA – .111…
Everyone thinks that Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Freddie Freeman are the key to the Dodgers’ offensive success in 2024. I beg to differ. Of course, the Dodgers need the three former MVPs to step up and do what they do, but there are a few other players who could also be the…
We learned a lot about Tyler Glasnow yesterday and why he is unquestionably now the Dodgers’ Ace. Lest we forget, he has had a singular injury problem, not plural problems. He has had just one injury that was undiagnosed for four years. It was fixed and he now looks healthy as a…
A lot of Dodger fans have been impressed with Chris Okey, Austin Gauthier, and Andy Pages. That’s fine. I like them too, but none will be on the team out of Spring Training… unless disaster strikes. Spring Training is just that: Training of your body and Training to play…
I am not going to belabor this point, but I am going to address it since it is a real thing: In the past, I have let too many bad actors and passive-aggressive commenters into this blog . No names will be mentioned, but I think we all know who they are/were. Passive-aggressive…
Is that even possible? It’s never been done. Seven players on one team with at least thirty home runs? That’s not possible… is it? The Dodgers had four players with 30 HR once, but the 2019 Twins and the 2023 Braves are the only clubs in history to have five players reach the…
Teoscar Hernandez hit the jackpot last Winter, as the Seattle Mariners signed him for $14 MM. That was an absurd amount for a player who should be in a platoon. I can make a case that the Dodgers should sign Hernandez to platoon with Jason Heyward… but only at a much-reduced…
Editorial Comment This post was written prior to the Blake Snell acquisition by the Padres. The longer this offseason goes without much movement, the more likely AF is going to get involved. The number of teams that want to jettison payroll is growing and is undoubtedly going to pique the interest of teams like LAD. While it will stress out fans who continually want to see something happen to
