Thar might be gold in that Taylor
The team with the largest payroll in the history of baseball shouldn’t be allowed to uncover massive gold nuggets while panning in the rivers of utility players, but they keep doing it. The story of Justin Turner is already will documented, and now the question is, have they done it again? Chris Taylor was a …
Most LAD walks in May
A few days ago we looked at where Cody Bellinger ranks in LAD May for home run runs and RBI. How about we take a gander at Chris Taylor and the LAD May base on balls leaderboard. Taylor already has fifteen walks and while he’s a long way from the top, he could crack the …

Hitting up Baseball Reference I found three players who had driven in at least 15 …

One fairly tough decision down, two to go
The Dodgers activated Franklyn Gutierrez off the DL and sent Scott Van Slyke to AAA. Van Slyke will join Trayce Thompson in an effort to find his swing with full-time at-bats. The last time Scott Van Slyke was in the minors that did not involve a rehab assignment was 2013. This seemed like the obvious move. …
