The Dodgers must be eager to get their payroll set for the 2012 season, as Dodgers GM Ned Colletti has been working all day to lock up all of the Dodgers arbitration eligible players.

Player Profile #130: Andre Ethier | OF | LAD
It’s never good when one of your team’s best offensive weapons posts an ISO almost 25 percent worse than their previous career low, and it’s doubly bad when that player is just 29 years old and should be in their prime. That’s Andre Ethier‘s 2011 season in a nutshell. His power almost completely vanished, and by the end of the season fantasy owners and...

Andre Ethier Player Projection No. 97

Ethier can give us a solid average (.292 the last two seasons). He was top 30 in baseball for OBP last year.Skeptics Say: If an outfielder might not be able to hit 20 homers he better be able to steal bases, and Ethier won’t...

For Dodgers' Ethier, It Was –30–
In the newspaper business, the tag at the end of the story is –30–, meaning that is all. On May 7, outfielder Andre Ethier went 0-for-4 with a walk against the NY Mets to snap his hitting streak at 30 games, a streak which ranks as the second-longest hitting streak in franchise history falling just short of Willie Davis’ 31-game hitting streak from Aug. 1-Sept. 3, 1969.
