The pipeline remains full
This was a stressful deadline. I don’t know if the Dodgers have done enough but they did make waves with the Yu Darvish acquisition and certainly moved the October needle in a positive direction. I think most of us would have like Justin Wilson given the price that was paid for him but it did not …
Yu Darvish and the NL
One of the reasons I wanted Yu Darvish was because of his exceptional work against the NL during his time with the Rangers. Let me demonstrate: Date Opp Rslt IP H ER BB SO GSc 2014-06-01 WSN W 2-0 8.0 5 0 2 12 82 2014-06-11 MIA W 6-0 9.0 6 0 3 10 82 …
Hello to Yu and goodbye to you
The Dodgers made the big splash at the last second to save what had been a very disappointing trade deadline day. Until 12:59:05 Dodger fans were trying to reconcile with the idea that the biggest moves the Dodgers had made were to bring in Tony Cingrani and Tony Watson. All that changed when this tweet …
Farmer joins the Dodger party
Kyle Farmer may not be around long in August but he can rest assured he will now forever be part of the winning lore of 2017. Getting a walk off double against the Giants would already be enough to be part of the fabric but when your first major league hit is a walk off …
A helping Hand could be all the Dodgers need

They could use a stud starting pitcher but questions abound if Yu or Gray are really stud pitchers and if the cost is Verdugo or Walker Buehler I …
Cavalry coming?
Adrian Gonzalez has been out for several months and the Dodgers have not missed him a lick. He has been taking batting practice and will head out for a rehab assignment that should last at least a week to shake off the rust. Adrian should be rejoining his teammates by at least mid – August. …
More needs to be made of Morrow
Much of the talk this year has centered around the amazing seasons that several Dodgers have had who started the year in AAA. That talk has always been about Cody Bellinger and Chris Taylor. For good reason. But, Brandon Morrow would like to you know he is kicking ass as a 100 MPH throwing setup …
Dodgers get their pitcher
Well, not quite, but they did acquire a starting pitcher today. His name just wasn’t Yu Darvish, or Sonny Gray, or Justin Verlander. It was Luke Farrell and the cost was considerably less than Alex Verdugo. Actually, the cost was simply cost. The Dodgers paid cash for Farrell. Farrell is 6’6, and was born June …
Katoh from Fangraphs kicks things up
Chris Mitchell over at Fangraphs has an experimental tool called Katoh that it he uses to do prospect rankings based on how much fWAR they would expect to generate over the next six years. I would really recommend reading the link above before checking out the list so you get a good idea of what …
