So basically after his 20-game torrid start, he's hit 55 points below his career average. Here's a graph of his cumulative average during those 50 games, and since I'm not a big fan of arbitrary splits or cumulative averages, I've also included his trailing 10 game average*:

The first 9 games of the trailing average trendline include games previous to Manny's suspension.

Not.GM Ned Colletti is looking for pitching, and Vazquez would be absolutely perfect for L.A.'s rotation. He would give them a veteran, frontline innings-eater along the lines of what they had in Derek Lowe last year, and Joe Torre knows him well and would certainly endorse an acquisition of him. The Dodgers also have some payroll flexibility, and they have an extra outfielder...

I think I have hit a new low.Anyway, the 21-8 record that the Dodgers amassed before Manny's suspension has predictably since regressed to 29-21 over the last 50 games. However, it's more than a bit unfair to say the Dodgers have been a 94 win team without Manny, but were a 117 win team with him. After all, the Dodgers were...
