If you are not of that ilk, then you will not be offended, but if you are, I have to ask and I d like to know: Why do you hate Andrew Friedman so much? Note:This is just not directed to LA Dodger Talk s readers This is across the blogosphere. You may say you don t but that is total BULL, and you know that. You hate him! You ve hated him
With apologies to the late great David Bowie. I continue to read about all the possible changes coming to the Dodgers, and I have zero comfort that any one of them will ever transpire more than another. I do believe that there will be at least one significant change, maybe more, which is why the negative comments on the Reds trade are curious, unless it gives those who just do
Before we start this discussion, let s remember that the time between the Holidays is a real dog when it comes to the Hot Stove League, thus, these really are the Dog Days. OK, let s look at what the Kemp-Puig-Wood-Farmer trade produced. The Dodgers sent Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig, Alex Wood, Kyle Farmer and $7 million Dollars to the Reds for Homer Bailey and two nice prospects. Very simply, the Dodger
During the 2016 season the Great Lakes Loons of the Midwest Class A League came away with their first ever league championship. As the season progressed a Central Michigan University sophomore drafted in June joined the Loons on July 21 and remained with the team for the balance of the season. He played an integral part in attaining the championship although he had been selected in the 33rd round of
I really can t take credit for the success of this blog, but before I tell you why I can t, let me tell you what is happening behind the scenes: Over the past seven days, we have had 119 new user registrations. This blog is just blowing up with an increase of traffic and of course, I am thankful for Always Compete ( AC ) who always competes with every column he writes
Continuing on with TJ surgery survivors, it is time to have a glance at another right-hander who was selected by the Dodgers in the 19th round of the 2017 Amateur Draft out of Kent State University following his junior year. They did so fully aware of the required surgery. TJ surgery is now so common place that it is almost accepted as a low risk surgery but it does
My apologies to the Wizard of Oz line, but it seems appropriate for me at this time. Please indulge me with a tribute to one of my all-time favorite Dodgers, Alex Wood. I do not know why I grew an attachment to Alex Wood. He has been someone I have followed since his rookie year, wishing that he could somehow find his way to the Dodgers. That was kind of
Well okay then. The Dodgers have finally spoken or more appropriately…ROARED. Once again Andrew Co. has done the impossible and freed up a lot of cash and moved players who were reportedly upset with how they were being played. I will miss all three Dodgers, especially Alex Wood. I know others were very partial to Yasiel Puig and he will be missed. Matt Kemp’s homecoming was well worth it.
We still have no clue what will happen this offseason, even though the rumors are rampant, and we still don t know what the Dodgers will look like in 2019. One thing I think is certain: They will look different than in 2018 the only question is HOW DIFFERENT? Some of you will be disappointed if Andrew Friedman doesn t sign Byrce Harper or trade for Corey Kluber. Others will be disappointed
I have cautioned everyone (over and over) that we really know very little about what is going on. Andrew Friedman plays his cards pretty close to the vest and I m guessing that the Dodgers Front-Office Employees have some pretty stiff, iron-clad Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreements, because there are very little leaks from the Dodgers inner circle. We hear Bryce Harper, Corey Kluber, AJ Pollock and other names banded about in
For most of us, and me at least, it is difficult to even imagine what it would be like to have to sit out a year or more with an injury or surgery. It must have been agonizing for Corey Seager, a 24-year-old on the cusp of stardom. Dodger fans all regrettably know about Seager’s year away from the field. Although it no doubt is small comfort, Seager had and
Are the Dodgers in on Bryce Harper? Yes, even Ray Charles can see that! A better question is Will the Dodgers really try to sign Bryce Harper? The answer is the same answer I give when people as Do you wear boxers or briefs? I say Depends. Bada Bing! But seriously Bryce Harper has IT the IT FACTOR. He would be an instant fit for LA. Yes, the Doders
