The Bison is back
I won’t be doing a breakdown of every spring game but game one had plenty to talk about, including the return of the Bison to Dodger blue. Wilmer Font is a huge man and buzzed right through the six hitters he faced. He was the best pitcher on this day for either team though Edward Paredes gave …
Is AAA/OKC where Dodger outfielders go to die?
Normally when a proven major league outfielder struggles and gets sent to AAA they blow back up and are quickly promoted back to the major leagues. Case in point Keon Broxton of the Brewers was their starting CF for most of the season. In an extended slump, Broxton was sent to AAA on July 21st …
Lamb and Schebler once again
Three years ago I wrote a piece about Jake Lamb and Scott Schebler when they were slugging home runs in the Southern League One thing stood out for me. Jake Lamb and Scott Schebler are the exact same baseball age at 23. 67. Jake Lamb was promoted two weeks ago to be the Diamondbacks starting …
Font for fifteen
Wilmer Font struck out fifteen hitters tonight en route to the most dominant game I think the Oklahoma Dodgers have ever had. This is what I know about Wilmer Font. He’s a pitcher in AAA for the Oklahoma Dodgers I have never heard he’s a prospect His name gives some Dodger bloggers much fun on …
Tigers could really use an outfielder
Watching the Tiger/White Sox game I can’t help but feel the Dodgers have a plethora of outfielders better than what the Tigers are using in CF and LF. JD Martinez is hurt but Tiger fans must be hurt knowing that they have to turn to Mikie Mahtook as their starting RF while JD is on …
Thompson and Taylor headed for Oklahoma
All the spring battles were decided yesterday with more players being optioned to AAA to play for Oklahoma. Most of the players who didn’t make the Dodger opening day roster besides the prospects are basically bench players except for one. Trayce Thompson – Thompson started spring late due to his lingering injury from last year, …
Rich Hill reminds everyone he sucks in March
Rich Hill had his second lousy start this spring but compared to a game he pitched last March for the Oakland A’s he doing just fine. In that game, he walked the bases loaded and didn’t even get three outs. I was curious so I looked up a few things. As great as Hill was …
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 …
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 …
