Chris Taylor is what Dodger fans prayed for
You can’t really quantify the impact that Chris Taylor has had on the Dodger season. You could try it with fWAR but you would be missing the complete picture. Chris Taylor was a 2nd baseman when Logan Forsythe got hurt early Chris Taylor was a left fielder when Andrew Toles went down for the season …
Dodger depth keeps getting tested
The Dodger mantra the last two years has been the depth of the forty man roster. The Dodgers tested that depth to the extreme last year related to the rotation when fifteen different pitchers toed the mound to make a start for the Dodgers. In 2017 it is the position players getting tested. It all …

Bellinger and the LAD multiple HR multiple position list
Eric Stephen put together a nice list of the exploits by Cody Bellinger based on what he had done in his first eleven career games. However, the one stat that fascinates me was the one where he had hit multiple home runs from multiple positions. I had to update this column because Cody Bellinger keeps …

Cody Bellinger – Sooner or later?
The general feeling is that Cody Bellinger is blocked and won’t see much major league action in 2017. Not everyone agreed with this. Is he really blocked? The Dodger top prospect plays 1st base and the outfield. Barring injury Adrian Gonzalez has a firm grip on 1st base and given he’s never hit the DL, that …
Cody Bellinger puts his skills on display
With Adrian Gonzalez ailing, and headed out to represent Mexico in the WBC, Dodger fans are going to get to see a lot of number one prospect Cody Bellinger. I suspect they will like what they see. Today, Cody put some of his skills on display. In his first at-bat, he struck out on a …
Can Puig measure up to past LAD age 26 seasons?
The LAD have quite a history of breakout age 26-year-old seasons for outfielders. I remembered about Kemp and Mondesi but had forgotten about Pedro and Frank Howard until today. When I created this list, little did I expect to see the name of Kal Daniels. For some reason, I thought he was much older when …
