Getting Puigy – LAD OF leaderboard <= age 25
With Puig entering his age 26 season, I wanted to take a look at how he looked among the LAD outfield leaderboard for his age. Using the data from the Baseball Reference play index the following tables are for LAD outfielders 25 or younger. The hit table has Puig number six, just eight above Mike …
Jim Bowden goes bold
In a recent ESPN insider column, Jim Bowden predicted that Cody Bellinger would be the Dodgers starting left fielder. This led to some twitter ridicule but to be fair the headline for the column is “Bold Spring Training Predictions” so the predictions are supposed to be outside the lines. If your bold predictions don’t get …
Pondering left field
2017 LF is going to be interesting. From the Left Side: Toles – keeps showing skills, looks like he could be a promising leadoff hitter. Has the speed, showed good OBP skills, had some pop. His arm plays well in LF. I’d think he’d rank very high defensively over a full season in LF. We …
Cory Seager did it all
At no time in Dodger history has a postseason review of the shortstop position been so positive. Cory Seager did everything and more, not only will he run away with the NL ROY but he’ll probably be a top five MVP vote getter. The Los Angeles Dodgers have an amazing history of rookies, but the …
Historical LAD ROY voting for position players
With Corey Seager expected to win the NL 2016 Rookie of the Year award, let’s take a look at all the LAD position players who have gotten at least one vote for the award. In 1960 Frank Howard won over his teammate Tommy Davis and future HOF Ron Santo. Frank Howard had an illustrious career …
Boatload of outfield options awaits Roberts
With Andre Ethier joining the team this weekend and playing left field on Sunday, an already crowded outfield just got more crowded. The Dodgers now have seven legitimate outfield options, and lucky for Dave Roberts just about all have of them have severe platoon splits. Unfortunately for Dave Roberts based on the numbers he still …
Looks like the Dodgers just added a left-hand hitting outfielder
Just as Andrew Toles gets his second start in a row tonight, he looks in the rear view mirror and sees Andre Ethier coasting into Miami. According to the pre-game Dodger notes Andre is headed to Miami and at some point this weekend, possibly even tonight the Dodgers will be activating the longest tenured Dodger giving …
LAD All-Stars 2000 – 2017, Clayton Kershaw era

Quick 21st-century LAD All-Star notes: The most all-stars this century are the current six in 2017 The Dodgers have a rookie all-star three years in a row with Joc Pederson, Corey Seager, and Cody Bellinger. This will be Kershaw’s 7th straight all-star appearance. Andre Ethier, …
LAD Rookie hitting streaks – by the numbers
Corey Seager had his hitting streak ended at 19 games. That streak doesn’t stack up very high against all time LAD hitting streaks, but it was good enough for 2nd place among LAD rookies. Below are three tables showing the LAD Rookie data. For the complete baseball reference list, click here. Raul Mondesi stands out …
Scott Van Slyke finally contributes to the 2016 Dodgers
SVS has had a rough start to the 2016 season. When Andre Ethier went down it was expected that SVS would take up the slack and possibly get full-time at bats but after just a few appearances, a back injury would sideline Scott until June. Once activated in June, Scott sat on the bench and …
