Hot Segedin sent to AAA
The LAD made a series of cuts and among them was Rob Segedin arguably the hottest hitter in camp with his 1.285 OPS in 32 at-bats. Rob was a long shot at the beginning of camp but he had been so hot and gives the Dodgers some added versatility with his ability to play 1st/3rd that …
111111 on the 1
It was time for a mini-adventure. I had a dinner date with my nephew who was in town for an aerospace convention down in El Segundo so I figured it was the perfect time to drive the ole 1992 Miata but I had one big problem. I hadn’t driven it for months so the battery …
Hey look, Ronald Torreyes starting SS for the NYY
Old friend Ronald Torreyes has parlayed the injury to Didi Gregorius into the starting SS gig for the NYY. By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com | @BryanHoch | 9:45 AM ET + 49 COMMENTS With the injury to Didi Gregorius, what do you see the Yankees doing at shortstop? And if they go with Tyler Wade …
Hatcher and Stripling survive final cuts
Adam Liberatore and Josh Fields were optioned to the minors yesterday giving the Dodgers their full pitching staff. Not quite full with Baez headed to the DL. The pitching staff looks set for the time being, but it won’t be long before changes are made. Starting Rotation – Kershaw, Maeda, Hill, Ryu, McCarthy Right-Hand Bullpen …
Check that – Weaver to start game 4
Yesterday the Padres announced that Jered Weaver was going to start game three and I wrote a little blurb about how that was the game to see next week, but they corrected themselves and announced later that Jered Weaver was going to start game four instead. Which now makes it the perfect game to attend …
Get your tickets now – Weaver will start game 3
Opening day doesn’t cut it for me anymore, maybe someday when there is a ring ceremony to accompany the pageantry, otherwise, it is just to expensive a ticket for me to justify. Even when I had season tickets I’d sell opening day to help defray the cost of the season tickets. I always felt that …
LAD Prop Bets for 2017
You might know by now I’m a betting person, and while I don’t always bet I always like to look at the odds. Below are the odds for the 2017 MLB season brought to you by Bovada, (www.Bovada.lv, Twitter: @BovadaLV). I’ll only list the odds relevant to the LAD (and Matt Kemp). Who would you …
Ryu makes rotation against all odds
Back in December when we looked at the LAD rotational depth we had Ryu on there simply out of respect but in the analysis, I didn’t give him any innings. I think the Dodgers will give him a long look this spring but end up releasing him. I hope I’m really wrong on this and …
Rotation attrition hits acceptable levels
The Dodger rotation depth headed into spring was eleven deep which was what allowed the front office to trade Jharel Cotton / Frankie Montas / Grant Holmes / Jose DeLeon / Chase De Jong over the past eight months. That and Walker Buehler / Yadier Alvarez / Trevor Oaks / Imani Abdullah / Mitchell White. …
Andrew Heaney might be on to something
Pedro Moura wrote a column yesterday about Andrew Heaney and the unique contract he signed with Fantex that left me wondering if maybe Andrew Heaney started something that might become commonplace. eighteen months ago, Angels left-hander Andrew Heaney agreed to commit 10% of his future earnings to investors in exchange for $3.34 million up front. It …
