Jonathan Broxton Won't Be A Dodger In 2012
The Dodgers did not offer salary arbitration by Wednesday night's deadline to any of their seven free agents and will receive no compensation if they sign with another club. They are Casey Blake, Jonathan Broxton, Jon Garland, Hiroki Kuroda, Mike MacDougal, Aaron Miles and Vicente Padilla. Kuroda is the lone ranking player among them, a Type B.

A Possible Option at Second Base
With Jamey Carroll signing with Minnesota, Mark Ellis signing with the Dodgers, Aaron Hill returning to Arizona and the Jays looking increasingly likely to let Kelly Johnson go elsewhere and gain picks in return, the options at second base are shrinking. Some of the biggest names still left in free agency include Orlando Cabrera, Aaron Miles, Ramon Santiago and Nick Punto. With that...

The Los Angeles Dodgers have ten potential free agents
The Los Angeles Dodgers have 10 potential free agents heading into this winter. Here is a look at who will be staying and leaving in my opinion:
Rod Barajas: 36-year old righty swinging catcher Rod Barajas played in 98 games for the Dodgers last year and he was 70 for 305 (.230 avg, .717 OPS) with 29 runs scored, 16 homers and 47 RBIs. PREDICTION: LEAVING
Jamey Carroll: 37-year...

2011 Los Angeles Dodgers Season Review: Third Base
Casey Blake
Casey Blake: Bearded Enigma.
There are generally two opinions of Blake, as many believe he has been a key cog to the Dodgers success over the past handful of years, while others loathe the way he came to be a Dodger in the first place. I am firmly in the camp of the latter, though I simultaneously recognize he’s been one of the better third basemen in the club&...

This Guy Would Look Good as a Dodger, Part 1
It’s the off-season and I’d be remiss if I didn’t start talking about potential players now. With Casey Blake leaving either via retirement of the Dodgers not renewing his contract, the team will be looking for a new 3B and I don’t think that Aaron Miles, Justin Sellers, Juan Uribe or the popular clubhouse player Russ Mitchell are the answers. So the team...

Dodgers Incentive Triggers Down The Stretch
Ken Gurnick of MLB.com had an interesting article documenting Dodgers players in reach of contract bonuses:
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Dodgers have roughly $50 million in payroll potentially coming off the books from 2011, but there still are a few players who can earn additional incentives this year.
Starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda, for example, has thrown 178 1/3 innings so far. He...

Post-Game 130 Thread: Yet Another Come-From-Behind Victory
DODGERS 6, ROCKIES 1
One shaky inning (the seventh) felled Esmil Rogers and the Rockies, thanks in no part to Andre Ethier, whose charge home from third on a Jamey Carroll fly ball to shallow center field ran right past the outstretched arms of Dodgers 3B Coach Tim Wallach, and straight into a double play at home. Nice.
But Rogers, who had walked Ethier and Aaron Miles to start...

Bizarre season brings Schumaker to mound
ST. LOUIS In a bizarre season that has left the Cardinals ten games out of the division race, 5-foot-8 infielder Aaron Miles launching a long home run off position player Skip Schumaker might have been the most unpredictable thing yet.
