All the young dudes

The 2020 Zips projections are out and as suspected the Dodgers have a bevy of talent fighting for five rotation spots.

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 …
