DODGERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
A Matt Kemp "Jackie Robinson" 1/1 Gypsy Queen Printing Plate.
I'm snatching up Matt Kemp cardboard as best I can while he heals from his hamstring injury and continues to work his way back from the serious shoulder injury he suffered last season. I have not and never will forgive the Dodgers for allowing him to play through it, thus exacerbating it. Anyhoo, the latest deal I was able to secure is of the truly unique and one-of-a-kind variety...
IN ENEMY TERRITORY
Fifth-grader's graduation speech about Dodgers
Tweet The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants have one of the most storied rivalries in baseball. There’s no doubt that there is genuine disdain for one another from both parties. A fifth grader named Casey that lives in San Francisco has the unwelcomed task of being a Dodgers fan in that city. [...]
Los Angeles Dodgers can’t start the fire
No matches in sight
Dodger ace Clayton Kershaw is upset with the team “leaking” the amount of money he is seeking for a long term deal.
Well, so much for the old adage that a fight can fire up a team. The Dodgers have lost three of the four games they’ve played since the brawl against Arizona last Tuesday night.
It is still a mystery to me why Ian Kennedy had to throw at...
Dodgers signed Yasiel Puig for $42 million after only watching him once

Los Angeles Dodgers’ Matt Kemp Holds Key To Outfield Situation
The Los Angeles Dodgers season has not started how they way that they envisioned it. They were expected to compete in their division for a playoff spot. The injuries that they have suffered have put a wrench into those plans.
They are missing key players on their team like Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford, which has hindered their offense.
The pitching has been the strength for the team...
Dodgers could lose 2014 first-round draft pick due to heavy 2013 bonuses
With the new collective bargaining agreement, teams are much
more creative in the MLB Draft than ever before. But since new CBA’s inception
a couple years ago, no team has ever had to forfeit a draft pick due to
overspending.
The Dodgers are dangerously close to doing so. The team
inked seventh-rounder Brandon Trinkwon this morning for slot, which prompted
this post...

Puig burst onto the scene with his promotion with four homers in first five games. He had...

Phenom Puig inspires band name
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Los Angeles Dodgers phenom Yasiel Puig doesn't have much grindcore music on his iPod.
But that doesn't mean he can't be the inspiration behind a new band, whose ear-splitting tunes -- can we really even call them tunes? -- are being written with the 22-year-old Cuban outfielder in mind.
On Monday, Riley Breckenridge of...

Dodgers recall former top prospect Chris Withrow from Triple-A
The Dodgers recalled former first-round pick Chris Withrow on Tuesday to help a beleaguered bullpen.
Withrow was drafted with the 20th pick in the 2007 MLB Draft out of Midland Christian High School in Texas.
The Dodgers moved Withrow to the bullpen halfway through last season, and he's fared much better as a reliever than he was as a starter.
It's not good...
