2015 Los Angeles Dodgers Thread.


Kevin Greene

Recommended Posts

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.

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
