A fan of the Dodgers since 1973 since I got my first baseball cards while living in Long Beach. I came to San Diego for college and never left nor did I ever switch my Dodgers' allegiance. Some know me as the "sweater guy". #ProspectHugger
Like everyone else, the delay in starting the baseball season is such a bummer. It has been tough for me to become inspired to write about baseball as life outside of baseball has been impacting me greatly. As I consider that the baseball season might only be 100 games (if we are lucky?) there is […] More
Cody Bellinger had an absolutely amazing 2019 season that ended up with him winning the National League Most Valuable Player Award. One of the reasons for the MVP award was his 47 home runs which exceeded his career high by 8. After Bellinger’s monster bomb against the A’s a few days ago, we asked you […] More
The new MLB Pipeline Top-30 prospects list was just released. Like last year around this time, we’ll compare the new Dodgers’ list to the list from last Spring Training. We’ll also take a look at some of the more interesting changes in the players and begin to get to know some new players. It should […] More
One of the bigger stories from all the trade rumors the Dodgers were involved with was the insistence that they would not trade Gavin Lux. Even when the name of Francisco Lindor was rumored, the Dodgers weren’t going to trade Lux. Clearly, the Dodgers think very highly of him. Almost every prospect ranking has him […] More
Now that the Dodgers have traded for Mookie Betts and David Price they still need that one last stud starting pitcher. I’m talking about a guy that can fill the number two spot in a playoff rotation behind Walker Buehler and have the potential to dominate. 1. We lost Ryu and are probably getting Price. […] More
Yes, there is a snag currently in the Mookie Betts/David Price deal from Boston. However, the deal is expected to get done. The Dodgers had a very good offense during the 2019 season, postseason excluded. For the basic slash statistics (Batting Average/On-Base Percentage/Slugging Percentage) against National League teams, they were fifth in BA, second in […] More
With the huge news of the Dodgers trading for Mookie Betts and David Price on Tuesday, there comes the task of a lot of player salary to sort out. Betts has $27M coming to him in 2020 and Price has 3 years at $31M due to him. We are hearing reports that the Red Sox […] More
There are all kinds of trade rumors going around about the Dodgers trying to trade for Mookie Betts. Many of the rumors have the name of David Price in them as the Red Sox aim to shed salary. Of course, the prospect cost for Betts would go down if Price were included in the trade. […] More
The year 2020 will be interesting for Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson. I am taking a break from the cheating scandals and the Hall of Fame voting results to talk about the upcoming season. The 2020 calendar year started with Pederson and the Dodgers being $1.75M apart in arbitration numbers. For the last several off-seasons he […] More
Going into the off-season many fans called for upgrades to the starting pitching for the Dodgers. Instead, they couldn’t sway Gerrit Cole or Madison Bumgarner to sign with them. Then, Hyun-Jin Ryu and Rich Hill signed contracts with other teams. This left the Dodgers down two starting pitchers from 2019. To counteract those losses the […] More
The deadline for players and teams to submit arbitration figures has come and gone. The players who were on the clock included Cody Bellinger, Corey Seager and Max Muncy. For the last few years, the Dodgers have been able to settle all of their cases before they actually exchanged arbitration figures. The last time the […] More
Updated on January 15, 2020 The 2020 FanFest at Dodger Stadium is on January 25, 2020. I’m sure most of our readers have heard of it and many have gone in the past. I didn’t go until the 2016 season, and even then, I didn’t arrive until later in the day. Each time I’ve gone […] More
