So I was thinking about the whole Roy Halladay situation, and it kind of reminds me a little bit of the trade talks that surrounded Johan Santana and Manny Ramirez.I can't help but think that with all the trade rumors surrounding Halladay, J.P. Ricciardi would have less hestitation...

Jeremy Wise|C|R|23-The fifth round selection in June is off to a fast start, as his OPS is .986 through 11 games. He should be dominating in Ogden with his age and experience, but there's nothing negative to report. Wise is probably the best chance the Dodgers have at a major league...

Overview-The Dodgers got Justin Miller in the 6th round of the 2007 draft, but he was arguably supposed to go a few rounds earlier. Miller has the raw talent to be a successful major leaguer, but he must develop reliable secondary pitches in order to get there.Stuff-Any discussion...

It's all good either way, right?Pedro Baez|3B|A+|21-He was the only Dodger in the Futures Game, but his performance still leaves me unimpressed. A .286/.326/.445/.771 slash line is nothing to get excited about, especially with a 4.9% walk rate and a 27.3% strikeout rate. I remain...

It looks like Jason Schmidt is going to start for the Dodgers on Monday, but why? Is Sam Fernandez really unable to coax the insurance company into paying his contract? I realize Weaver is not going to be available, but why not McDonald or Stults or anyone but a guy who hasn't...
