Fangraphs looks at Puig
Eno Sarris at Fangraphs took a look at Puig and who is comps might be. Let’s be pessimistic! Let’s cut off those good 2013 and 2014 seasons and focus on the last two years. In those years, he walked 7.4% of the time, struck out 20.6 % of the time, and hit for a .260/.323/.425 …
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 …
Fangraphs Hitter Contact Series – LAD OF
Tony Biengino of Fangraphs is doing a fascinating series looking at hitter contact quality, utilizing exit speed, and launch angle data. Yesterday we looked at the how the LAD infield is viewed by this data. Today we will wonder through the LAD outfield. Right field is first up, so let’s see what he has to …
What does Puig/Harper/Stanton/Cutch have in common?
Andrew Simon of MLB.com thinks that all of these players are candidates to bounce back in 2017. That isn’t a very big limb to climb out on. Harper is just one year removed from being the MVP. Cutch is just one year removed from being a top five MVP four years in a row. Stanton …
Who will stay, who will go
The hot stove is heating up and by the end of the week, it appears very likely that the Dodgers will be adding some new blood while saying good-bye to old friends, or never were friends. This is an exciting time for fans but a strange week for players as they wait to see where …
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 …
Cory Seager did it all
At no time in Dodger history has a postseason review of the shortstop position been so positive. Cory Seager did everything and more, not only will he run away with the NL ROY but he’ll probably be a top five MVP vote getter. The Los Angeles Dodgers have an amazing history of rookies, but the …
Redemption game
Rich Hill showed why the Dodger front office traded for him, Cory Seager showed why he’s the best rookie in baseball, Yazmani Grandal showed why fans shouldn’t worry about a slump in the postseason, Joe Blanton showed why one pitch won’t define his 2016 season, Yasiel Puig showed why you shouldn’t count him out, and …
Historical LAD ROY voting for position players
With Corey Seager expected to win the NL 2016 Rookie of the Year award, let’s take a look at all the LAD position players who have gotten at least one vote for the award. In 1960 Frank Howard won over his teammate Tommy Davis and future HOF Ron Santo. Frank Howard had an illustrious career …
Yazmani Grandal and the big RBI game
Since Yazmani Grandal joined the team in 2015, he has had some big games, so how does his big games compare against his Dodger peers over the same time span? Pretty damn good. If we look at LAD since 2015 to have driven in at least five runs: Eleven times in that period a LAD …
