The biggest item is Manny Ramirez will exercises his 20M player option and return to the Dodgers for the 2010 season ( source LA Times ). Not only is Ramirez out of the mix for the Mets left field job but he has also more then likely...

The danger of this series against the Washington Nationals was demonstrated last season. The Dodgers were swept on the road by the Nats. I normally would have been worried about this, but having been in the Dodger clubhouse for a lot of the season I know these guys are focused. And...

Scott Elbert, A.J. Ellis, and Jason Repko (!!!) Are Recalled The first wave of September callups were announced today, as Scott Elbert, A.J. Ellis, and Jason Repko were recalled from Triple A Albuqerque. The Repko news is a bit shocking, as I frankly expected him to be a prime candidate to be designated for assignment to make room for the new Dodgers on the 40-man roster. This is the first time Repko...

The contribution of Rafael Furcal has been an overlooked component of the Dodgers' performance since he arrived in 2006. He was a demon that year, producing 15 homers, 32 doubles, and 9 triples, leading to a balanced slash line of .300/.369/.445/.814 . Furcal also amassed 73 walks and stole 37 bases. That Dodger team ended up making the playoffs. Raffy played most of 2007, but he was a shadow of himself...

Well, according to George King they could (hat-tip to MLB Trade Rumors ) : The Dodgers might be willing to trade Jason Repko, a 28-year-old with above average speed and a little pop. The Nationals are said to be entertaining offers for Austin Kearns. So far this year Kearns is just hitting .167/.310/.375 with a homer and four RBI. Last year also a struggle for Kearns as he hit just .217/.311/.316 with...
