Prediction....with an outfield/infield logjam, the Dodgers will opt to keep Delwyn Young and his outstanding bat and trade Jason Repko and/or Andre Ethier.
Either one of them will proceed to put up 25 homer, 90 RBI seasons with their new team. Meanwhile, Jason Schmidt will continue to suffer from a tired arm. He will make 3 starts in June, then go on the DL for the rest of the year.
Thanks for the great link again. Once Wolf went down, it was bad news for the Dodgers. At this point our pitching this year will be the make it or break it for how we fare in the end.
Yeah. I just think the story about the clubhouse rift, while real in some ways, was totally overblown. Yes, there was some tension, but it's not why they lost. Pitching (combined with a lack of ability with RISP... but mostly pitching) is what hurt them most. It's just not as sexy a story as old vs. young! Clubhouse in chaos!

Grady Little to me besides injuries and incosistency at the plate was the main reason for what went wrong with the Dodgers last season.
