Ryu and Trayce working their way back to you Babe

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 …
Right Field was not up to snuff
Ever since Andre Ethier and Matt Kemp showed up to be the Dodgers right fielders in 2007 the position has been in good hands, and most times in great hands. From Kemp to Andre to Puig from 2007 to 2015 the position was always one of strength. That was not the case in 2016. Puig …

Can anyone play LF against RHP?
The Dodgers have turned their season around with six straight wins, eight out of nine, and homered in thirteen straight games, but they still have a few issues that need to be addressed. They need to rectify that .500 road record Having to use a Nick Tepesch doesn’t signal that the starting pitching depth has …

Trayce Thompson – Steal of the Deal
With Andre hurt, Puig struggling, and Crawford now gone, it is a good thing the Dodgers pulled the trigger on the three-way trade that brought Thompson to the Dodgers. Frankie Montas was supposed to be the key to this deal and may still be, but right now Thompson has been the steal of the deal. …
