What Will the Dodgers Look Like Next Season? Outfielders
The Dodgers outfield has been the teams strongest the last few seasons with Kemp and Ethier being mainstays. After the Dodgers let Manny go via waiver last season, left field has been been the one area where the team has needed an upgrade.
Left Field
Left field has been interesting. The season started off with Jay Gibbons and Marcus Thames both of which were disappointments and were...

Should the Dodgers Resign Juan Rivera?
I like Juan Rivera, I really do. When he was an Angel I’d see him do interviews, watch him play and I wanted him to be a Dodger, I felt like the Angels, who really needed offense at the time, just didn’t appreciate the talent he had as a hitter.
When finally the Dodgers got him, they use him as a #5 and then the cleanup hitter and their offense has been better ever since, especially...

Injuries and inconsistency have Dodgers in a first half hole
Though technically we're 11 games into the second half of the season, the All-Star break is considered the halfway point of the Major League season and it is a great time to evaluate your team as it's pretty obvious what the team's strengths and weaknesses are.
But we don't know really what the fourth-place Dodgers (41-51) are at this point. Have we ever really...

Game 80 Thread: June 27 @ Twins, 5p
"Do the Twins have a worse record than the Dodgers?"
"No...?"
"You're lying!"
"Yes."
Chad Billingsley (6-6, 4.48) vs. Nick Blackburn (6-5, 3.15).
Hunky Joe is correct: shockingly, the Twins are 32-44 while the Dodgers are 35-44. But this is interleague, where NL dreams go to die. To wit: who will be the Dodgers' DH today? Jay Gibbons...

Roster Shakedown In DodgerTown Continues
What the heck happened over the last two weeks? Did Billy Beane take over the Dodgers or something? Alright, let me take you back for a minute. Here's a quick rundown on the roster shakedown that is going on in DodgerTown.

Long Overdue: Dodgers Designate Castro, Gibbons For Assignment
I thought someone was playing a practical joke or something. Because for the first time in so long I saw a roster move that made a ridiculous amount of sense. The Dodgers announced today that they designated Jay Gibbons and Juan Castro for assignment. This was so long overdue, I don't know what the thinking was with keeping these guys around. There is no shortage of options or...

Los Angeles Dodgers Week in Review: Reversal of Fortune
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier looked to be losing fans after he was caught flipping the middle finger at a photographer during batting practice as well as flipping off his bat. After ending a 30 game hitting streak on May 7th with a .379 average, Ethier went into a slump and watched his average drop 68 points to .311 come May 25. In what may have been an intentional...

ASTROS 2, DODGERS 1
Aneurysm? Well, Astros starting pitcher Aneury Rodriguez still didn't earn his first career win; if not for a Matt Kemp solo shot, he might have, as he shut the Dodgers down with four scattered hits over six innings. Helping Rodriguez' cause were Rafael Furcal and Jamey Carroll, both 0-for-4 in the top two lineup slots; Jerry Sands chipped in with an...
