The Arizona Fall League and Hawaii Winter Baseball
are just about wrapping up, and the Mexican Pacific
League, Dominican Winter League, Venezuelan Winter League, and Puerto Rican League are well under way, so I figured this was as good a time as any to give an update on some Dodger ...

So let me ask you something, does a
line of .264/.344/.383/.727 look all that impressive for a
third basemen? How about a guy who was 26th among MLB third basemen in RC (51), 18th in WPA (0.67), and had a terrible VORP (8)? No? Well it is impressive when that person is Blake DeWitt. You see, like wi

I don't know where it has been coming
from, but there have been constant reports that the
Dodgers are in on a Peavy trade. The latest of those reports comes from Chris De Luca of the Chicago Sun-Times. "Chris de Luca of the Chicago Sun-Times expects a Peavy deal 'within the next week' with ...

I didn't fully realize what a boat of
fail second base was until I did this review.
I knew it was pretty bad because Jeff Kent struggled early, but I guess I forgot just how bad he was before Manny arrived. Blake DeWitt provided a little relief at the end, but i'll review him as...

In an absolutely shocking expose, the Dodgers became
disenchanted with Penny because of his antics. "It's believed
that a perceived lack of professionalism had more to do with the Dodgers' decision than Penny's health. Apparently, he routinely blew off the customary pitchers' meeting before...

This is a reluctant post, because ever since
the Dodgers officially made some sort of contract offer,
people having been speculating like crazy about what it was. Basically, I didn't want to be posting like 50 different rumors in the span of 24 hours. Sure enough, that's exactly what I would ...

You thought I was joking when I said
that Ned would probably take a long look at
Varitek? Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe suggests that my prediction is looking more and more realistic. "Epstein wants to leave the meetings with a good sense of whether he can re-sign Varitek. A couple of...

Just when you think the Dodgers couldn't get
any dumber, Peter Gammons drops this gem. "2. Russell
Martin. Some Dodger officials have spread the word that Martin will either be traded or moved to third base, with a Jason Varitek signing a possibility. Whether or not it actually happens ...

I think this might be a first on
'Fire Ned Colletti Now', but I actually disagree with
Joe Sheehan. To be honest, I don't get the logic behind releasing him at all. Yeah, Juan Pierre is not worthy of a starting spot in the major leagues, but he's...

Dear Frank Wren, Hi, this is Andruw Jones!
Do you remember me? I played 12 seasons in
your Braves organization, made 5 All-Star teams, and won 10 Gold Gloves. Impressive track record, no? I think so too, which is why i'm writing you this letter today. You see, Frank, the Dodgers ...

First base is a position that people heavily
associate with power hitters, and the Dodgers were hoping
that James Loney's power had finally emerged late in the 2007 season. Unfortunately, the power surge never continued into 2008, and everybody is now left wondering whether it will ever ...

I've always wanted to stick mainly to baseball
related or Dodger related stuff on this site, and
while this technically is Dodger related, it has nothing to do with baseball. My apologies in advance, but I just had to post about this. "Jeff Kent, who played second base for the Los Angeles...

So good old Uncle Ned held a press
conference today and somehow managed to sink my confidence
level in him even lower. He gave a lot of fodder quotes about Manny Ramirez and how they don’t need to sign him at all costs because it's the team that needs to be good. Blah blah blah. It's basically...

Russell Martin Down year, right? Not quite. There
was a regression here for sure, but I don't
think it was as bad as people think. In his 25-year-old season, Martin solidified himself as one of the top catchers in all of baseball. Among MLB catchers, Martin was 5th in VORP (33.7), 6th in...

It doesn't look like he was the one
doing the fighting, but I think he clotheslines a
guy at some point. Awesome. It's also good to know that he's doing his very best to get his option declined.
