Should I stay or should I go?
The Dodgers are coming up upon a moment of decision. They brought up their best prospect Cody Bellinger to fill the void of Joc Pederson who hit the ten day DL. The first few games saw Bellinger struggle which led to Dave Roberts proclaiming that no matter what Bellinger did he was going back to AAA …

The LAD just got way younger, did they get better?
With 21-year-old LAD 2017 top prospect Cody Bellinger joining the Dodgers today and 20-year-old 2016 top prospect Julio Urias set to join the team on Thursday the LAD 25-man roster just got a whole lot younger. But will it make them better? Joe Davis said tonight that Dave Roberts said Urias is here to stay …
The confounding Lester
The lasting image of Jon Lester beating the Dodgers for the NLC crown is of Enrique Hernandez dancing like a fool off of 1st base. His job was to rattle the man who had thrown over 2,000 innings while being one of the best October pitchers of his generation. Predictably it did not work and …
Dodgers traded for a middle of the order bat
Opening day is just a few hours away and the Dodgers have changed up the lineup, moving Andrew Toles into the lead off role, and Logan Forsythe to the five hole. The Dodgers spent 98% of the spring using Forsythe as the lead off hitter but they decided to change things up this past week …
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 …

Will 2017 serve up anything close to the pleasant surprises of 2016?
With spring training about to go full bore this week I was thinking about where we were last year at this time and the shocking developments of 2016. No one could have predicted that the following players would impact 2016: Brock Stewart – Single A pitcher – Climbed from A to AA to AAA to …
