Andre Ethier won’t impose a deadline on contract talks
Los Angeles Dodgers: Rough weather in the merry month of May(?)
Years ago, Chicago-born actor Bill Murray was a guest in the Chicago Cubs broadcasting booth. As the Cubs embarked on a rally against the opposing pitcher, the manager came out to give him the hook. “Too bad, we were hitting him so well,” Murray quipped. The same may hold true for the Dodgers.

Ethier makes first start as a center fielder
Given that Matt Kemp followed up his National League MVP runner-up season with a blistering start to the 2012 campaign, it's safe to say the Dodgers will have a hard time replacing their All-Star center fielder.
Kemp, hitting .359 with 12 home runs and 28 RBI on the season, was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a strained left hamstring.
For the vast majority of...

What Is Andre Ethier Worth?
Andre Ethier will be the first major question for the Los Angeles Dodgers’ new ownership. The 30-year-old outfielder will become a free-agent at the end of the season, and he has recently indicated that he would be willing to sign an extension with the club.
Since 2006, Ethier has emerged as a mainstay in the Dodgers’ outfield, and he has become one of their most integral...

Ethier will put Dodgers on spot
Dodgers right fielder Andre Ethier has warts. Injuries limited him to fewer than 140 games in each of the past two seasons. His career OPS is .909 against right-handers, but only .667 against lefties.
Yet Ethier, 30, is a fascinating case - and not simply because he represents the first opportunity for the Dodgers' new ownership to make a statement in the post-McCourt era.

Ethier reminds Dodgers fans to not text and drive

Ethier's rebound key for Dodgers' success
It was a season of extremes for Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier in 2011.
An All-Star and a Gold Glove winner who took a 30-game hitting streak into May, Ethier's season ended prematurely in an awkward public disagreement with the club over the treatment and severity of a knee injury that had altered his mechanics. Though he bat .292 in his sixth season as a Dodger...

Ethier primed for rebound in contract year
PHOENIX -- The Dodgers didn't make any splashy moves like the Angels or Marlins this offseason, but they might just get the impact of a big-time acquisition from a healthy and focused Andre Ethier.
Ethier admits he wasn't himself on the field last season, and it showed in his final stat line as he tallied his lowest RBI (62) and home run (11) numbers since 2006, his rookie...
