Opinion: Rotoprofessor's Prospect Watch: James McDonald

20 Dec 2008 20:00:53 PST

Written by Ryan Lester
Look no further then Clayton Kershaw, who has become entrenched as one of the Dodgers top starting pitchers in 2009, as evidence. Joining Kershaw in the Dodgers rotation will be Chad Billingsley (assuming there are no ill affects of his broken leg, which is not expected), Hiroki Kuroda, a...

Opinion: Andruw Jones Proves How Unimportant You and I Really Are

17 Dec 2008 16:18:42 PST

Written by Jonny Solovy
In late 2007, Atlanta Braves free agent outfielder Andruw Jones agreed to a two-year deal with the L.A. Dodgers. The contract agreed to was short but very profitable, as Jones is currently earning—I mean receiving—$18.1 million per season.

Opinion: Left-handed comebacks, how good will Francis, De La Rosa, Smith and Morales be?

24 Nov 2008 11:09:51 PST

Written by Rox Girl
The goal is to be as close as possible in contribution from the pitching staff, so the offense has a relatively easy task of clearing the bar to the divisional title (later this week we'll review the dirty secret that it was actually Rockies hitters that were their bigger impediments to suc...

Opinion: 2008 Top 30 Prospect Results

16 Oct 2008 14:50:11 PDT

Written by ToyCannon
These were the results for my top 30 prospects, I'll let Andrew review the community top 30 and use real metrics to identify how they did. I'm to lazy right now so you just get my top of the head blathering. The Dodgers had a lousy year with their prospects this year. With Kershaw, LaRoche, DeWitt...

Opinion: NLCS Game Four Live Blog: Phillies Vs. Dodgers

13 Oct 2008 17:15:02 PDT

Written by Matt Sussman
9:01 — Casey Blake used to have the best beard in baseball. But LA has clearly changed him. It used to be all gnarled and woolly, and you could probably hang your keys on the chint. No more. Blake strikes out, which is what he gets for destroying one of baseball's great natural preserves. 2 1

Written by Matt Sussman
9:58 — No strandy strandy at all, it appears. Manuel Ramirez kicks a ball into left, and Furcal slides completely through Ruiz's shin — despite Larry Bowa's semaphoric requests — and the Phillies lead becomes not a Phillies lead at all, actually. 2 1 2 1 2 1

2008 National League Championship Series Preview

09 Oct 2008 00:51:00 PDT

Written by Travis Nelson
Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers (84-78) and the Philadelphia Phillies (92-70) will face off in their best-of-seven series to decide the National league's representative in the World Series. My best guess is that the Dodgers pull it out, 4-3.

Opinion: More on Dodgers/Las Vegas

07 Sep 2008 11:17:38 PDT

Written by Tony Jackson
First of all, let me set the record straight on one thing: when I first referenced this on this blog a couple of days ago, I credited the Las Vegas Review-Journal for the story in which Las Vegas 51s owner Don Logan said he felt the Dodgers were looking to move their Triple-A affiliation elsew...

04 Jul 2008 23:49:57 PDT

Written by Rob(noreply@blogger.com)
Class AA right-hander James McDonald, Class AAA shortstop Chin-Lung Hu and third baseman Andy LaRoche are among the Dodgers' prospects likely drawing consideration form the Indians. Oh, that's rich. The Dodgers have re-committed to weaning themselves off free agents, right? Eh, not s...

Draft Review

07 Jun 2008 10:00:39 PDT

Written by Andrew
The draft is what separates the modern Dodgers from the hopeless Dodger teams of the late 90s and the first half of the 21st century. Two hugely successful drafts by Logan White in 2002 and 2003 supplied the Dodgers with almost all the young talent we have today, and he's the reason I actually...

Opinion: Dodgers Drowning In a Sea Spilled From A Cup An Ex-Phillie*: Angels 4, Dodgers 2

16 May 2008 23:55:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Rob)
In case you can't tell, I was hoping and praying that Gary Bennett, who had spent his entire career in the National League, had spent some time in Chicago, as it would have made the headline that much funnier. As it was, Bennett's fourth-inning, two-out throwing error on Erick Aybar's strik...

Opinion: Dodgers Win Eighth Straight Behind Loney’s Six RBI

04 May 2008 00:35:06 PDT

Written by Nathaniel Edelstein
Takashi Saito wasn’t as good. He only allowed one hit in his inning of work, but the Rockies hit some balls very well off of him. It was another tough night for the Dodger’s fifth starter, who at the moment is Esteban Loaiza. The Dodgers won’t need another start from the fifth starter spot until M...

10 Apr 2008 07:42:40 PDT

PECOTA came into this season ranking the Dodgers and Diamondbacks as equals. Both teams would finish with 87 wins and we would have a one game playoff to determine who took the NL West. Because of this, the Dodgers and Diamondbacks came into the series with near equal chances to make the playo...

Review: Los Angeles Dodgers Vintage World Series Films

24 Dec 2007 14:39:00 PST

But if time ticks by ever faster as I age, the reverse is true of the Dodgers' World Series appearances. Growing up listening to Vin Scully call the games on a little lemon-colored Radio Shack radio, hanging in a hammock in our back yard and looking up at the darkening sky, Dodgers' excellenc...

Opinion: Meditations: Rockies 9, Dodgers 7

26 Sep 2007 00:17:00 PDT

Written by Rob
Rethinking Brad Penny I have thought for some time — really, since the Dodgers acquired Brad Penny — that the trade that brought him to the Dodgers was a wise one. Unloading an aging but much-loved catcher and the team's primary setup man for a young starting pitcher with postseason experie...
