Dodgers who are en fuego
First the hitters. Even though Keibert only has nine at-bats I wanted to include him because six for nine with only two strikeouts in his first taste of major league camp is outstanding. Estevez got no love from anybody when prospect lists were announced but he played a solid 2nd/SS and picked up four hits …
2018 Spring Roster re-assignments to minor league camp
The fun time is over and as the Dodgers get closer to opening day it was time to move the players from major league camp to minor league camp so that players expected to have a shot at making the opening day roster could get more playing time. All of the players in the table …
Rotation update
The Dodger rotation is the strength of the team and unlike many years it comes into spring with everyone healthy. Not only are the top five rotation options healthy but everyone except Julio Urias is also healthy. Which is a good thing because the team doesn’t go as deep this year as they have in …
Bullpen Update
Tom Koehler the pitcher many hoped would replace the arm of Brandon Morrow had his season flushed when he hurt his right shoulder and will be out a minimum of two months. This will have a trickle down effect on the Dodger bullpen since Koehler was already penciled in as a lock. With Dave Roberts …
Spring Training has lost some luster
This will be an old man rumbling. One of the beauties of spring training for me was getting the first look at a prospect you may have read about but had no way of ever seeing them play unless you watched their minor league games. There was no Baseball America telling how good they were, …
J.T. Chargois could be a diamond in the rough
I don’t know what the Twin front office was thinking or the 28 teams that passed on J.T. Chargois but I do like that the Dodgers scooped him on waivers from the Twins. The Twins took a chance on putting Chargois on waivers and it almost paid off as 28 other teams passed on him but …
The Bison is back
I won’t be doing a breakdown of every spring game but game one had plenty to talk about, including the return of the Bison to Dodger blue. Wilmer Font is a huge man and buzzed right through the six hitters he faced. He was the best pitcher on this day for either team though Edward Paredes gave …
Dodgers kick off Cactus League play today
In a few hours, the Dodgers will start their Cactus league play as they try to defend their National League title. Wilmer Font the forgotten man, when rotation depth is discussed, will start the game and probably embarrass me given how much faith I’ve put in a guy I’ve never seen pitch. Much more interesting …
