LA Weekly: I called Josh Macciello out a while ago, but this article was a thorough takedown. It’s long, but well worth a read.

Baseball Prospectus: The rotation for the Los Angeles Dodgers might not be as good as we think in 2012.
That’s ninth in the National League, and I think it’s clear as to where the value starts tailing off.
If the rotation is going to be good this year, contributions from Nate Eovaldi and others will probably be a part of it.
Baseball Prospectus: Kevin Goldstein ranks the Dodgers farm system 19th in the MLB.
19. Los Angeles Dodgers

System At a Glance: There’s certainly pitching here, but it’s more quantity than quality, and the organization is wafer-thin when it comes to positional prospects at the upper level.

Bah, DeJesus just looked like he pulled something in his side with that swing. Made a nice diving play earlier. He’s staying in, so I hope it’s nothing serious. Ugh, he’s still holding it. Not good…he’s coming out. :(
I expect a lot of these comments since I’m not doing game threads. :o
Umm Chad..question..do you investigate before you “blog” or do you rely on sources such as the LA Weekly for facts to pass along to your readers…just wondering.. because if you are validating LA Weekly and thieir “investigating reporting” I know your comments might be true or might not be true and would like to pass that along to those who follow…just wondering though.
I’m not even sure what you mean.
