Hey, I like Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier just as much as everyone else does… …but to say they’re “leading candidates for the NL MVP award” goes beyond “looking through Dodger blue glasses”. You’d have to have had Dodger logos surgically implanted into your eyes. Or at least ge...
Today’s front page article: We’ve beenover the travesty of trading the Indians a better prospect for Casey Blake than they received for C.C. Sabathia a ton of times here, so I won’t bore you with it again. (Once again, this does not mean I hate Casey Blake. It means I hate the trade. I ca...
Hey, our valiant commissioner Bud Selig is batting .333 this week! That’s All-Star level. Well, “tie in an All-Star game” level. And since he’s completely punchless, I’m sure that his line would somehow come out to .333/.333/.000, which isn’t even possible. But still! .333! Fail: “Bud...
Finally! This is the last player review segment of the year, and while I won’t pretendthis one isthe most interesting grouping of players you’ll read about all year, this whole series served its purpose. It...
Back to the bullpen – part 2 of 3! Jeff Weaver (A++) (6-4, 3.65, 1.519 WHIP) Here we have another case where keeping in mind how our judging system works is very important. It’s based on what we expected from a guy before the season, not on how he stacks up against anyone else. Ex...
We’ve got 14 pitchers who fit in the ‘relievers’ group, so we’re splitting them up into three groups. Today, you get the best of the best, and then the next two rounds, you get to wonder why I devoted entire posts to talking about Brent Leach and Travis Schlichting. Hooray! Jonath...
Before we get back to our season reviews, two quick items: 1) Yes, I saw Plaschke’s article about the 87-year-old Dodger scout who got his salary cut from $18,000 to $8,000, and yes, I sharehis disgust at the fact that this man who apparently has done so many great things is suffering a paycut w...
The awards keep on coming – Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier each get Silver Slugger awards, the first for a Dodger outfielder since Kirk Gibson in 1988. No complaining about these; both Dodgers finished in the top 6 among NL outfielders in batting runs above average. ...
Jonathan Makiri Patiently waiting for more MTSI 2009 Season in Review: Starting Pitchers (-10) Starts and Bullpen : )
Hey, that Photoshop job didn’t actually come out too badly! Anyway, it’s not verified yet, but Memories of Kevin Malone is reporting that Orlando Hudson is not the only Dodger Gold Glove winner – Matt Kemp wins one too, and in fact received the most votes of any outfielder. Kemp...
Sometimes democracy just doesn’t work. In this case, it’s because postseason awards, voted on by humans, are almost always insanely wrong. It...
Is it just me, or is the hot stove getting moving earlier than usual this year? We’ve already seen quite a few trades, and the World Series just ended about ten minutes ago. ...
After a weekend out of town at a wedding (and by the way, Indianapolis, I respect that you love the Colts and all, but when every hotel desk clerk and airline ticket attendant are wearing Colts jerseys, and even the attractive women are wearing jerseys of the center, Jeff Saturday, it starts to...
Randy Wolf (A+) (11-7, 3.23, 1.101 WHIP) I’m not even sure an A+ really gets the job done here, considering that we’re judging guys on what we expected from them before the season. In...
With the 2009 season finally in the books (seriously, any longer and the Phillies could have avoided going back home from the Bronx and just gone straight to Florida for spring training), the real fun starts...
