LAD FFA June 26th-July 2nd
Multiple contenders this week as the Dodger prospects kept on their hitting shoes. A new name emerged, my top position prospect continued to surge, the top pitching prospect showed why he’s at the top, and the second three-homer game in two weeks took place. First off, a few moves took place this past week. Earlier …
No Wood, no way
Every all-star selection season has some head scratchers, but leaving off the best pitcher in the NL seems a bit bizarre. Jake Lamb is having a fine year, but he’s a 3rd baseman, and for him to make the team while MVP Kris Bryant, Anthony Rendon, and Justin Turner have to get voted on as …

Cristian Santana explodes
I’ve learned not to pay attention to what happens in the short season rookie leagues but sometimes a performance just can’t be ignored. The Odgen season in the Pioneer League started on June 19th, and one hitter has caught my eye. Cristian Santana is making a mockery of the Pioneer League pitching. The 20-year-old in his …
Rollercoaster Ryu
The Dodgers had many question marks headed into 2017 but one of the biggest was if Hyun-Jin Ryu was even going to pitch professionally for the Dodgers. By that standard, this season has a been a huge success for Ryu but it has not been without some ups and downs. The downs came first. The …
Steve Perrin nails my thoughts on Chris Paul and the new Clippers
Steve doesn’t write much for SBNation anymore, and I hadn’t been over there in a long time but once the news of the Chris Paul trade had made it to Ferndale, I popped over there to see the take. I was quite happy to see that Steve had returned to give his thoughts and they …
