2015 Los Angeles Dodgers Thread.

Yes 2015 started for the Dodgers today.

On the heels of Ned Colleti's failure to strengthen a suspect bullpen at the trading deadline he was pushed aside in favor of the boy wonder in Tampa bay, Andrew Friedman. The architect of great success in Tampa even when confronted with minimal payroll realities.

 

Friedman was given the title President of Baseball Operations while Colletti was relegated to a "Senior Advisor" position.

Friedman will hand pick his own GM.

Meanwhile the idiot Don Mattingly's contract expires in 2015 coincidentally with Joe Maddon's in Tampa.

Hate the idea of Mattingly steering the ship one more year but will hope he is shown the door ASAP.

 

Whereas I would prefer a Manager that comes from the Dodger system I've golfed with MIke Scioscia (Who I really wanted to come home) and an ex Dodger Billy Ashley and there seems to be quite a bit of dislike for Tommy Lasorda. Go figure.

Can't wait to see how it unfolds.

 

Go Blue!

I read an article today that Corey Seager may be the fulltime SS and let Hanley Ramirez test FA. I think this move plus getting rid of one of the OF would be great for this team.

 

I also read a rumor about a trade of Puig for Stanton. Miami cannot afford Stanton's salary and Puig is locked in at a modest salary for the next 4-5 years. I would be all over this in a heartbeat. I can only imaging an OF comprised of Stanton, Kemp, Crawford, Pederson.

Interesting, only way I'd be in favor of re-signing Hanley is if he cheerfully agrees to move to 3rd base. He's too weak at SS.

 

The Puig trade is interesting....hmmmmm.

      Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
