The chances of either Andruw or Nomar ever being decent players again, or even playing regularly again, seem very slim at this point. Damn shame how much Nomar tailed off over the past few years; there for awhile he was the best "pure" RH hitter going.

This should finally give the Dodgers the excuse to go with the kids.

The 25 man already includes Loney, Kemp, DeWitt, Ethier, Hu, Young, Kuo and Kershaw starts tomorrow. of course you would know this if when you opened your eyes, they weren't blocked by a colon.


Maybe you should just stick to Boston sports.

Well, pitchers don't factor into his statement at all. Nor does the 25 man roster composition, as that doesn't mean the kids on the roster are getting PT. I haven't followed the Dodgers PT situation much, except for being pleased that Ethier is getting a lot, but I think you could have made a cogent rebuttal that the young OFers are already getting PT with little effort.

the starting first baseman, catcher, third baseman and two of the outfielders are under the age of 26.
Thats 5 of the starting 8 ..

You're the one who goes by "kevin".

You really should listen to Mark Twain.

To be fair, it's not like the Dodgers have a veteran catcher that has a chance of being as good as Martin. And one of the 3b/1b spots is only open because Nomar has been hurt since ST.

I'm not disagreeing with your statement, but if you had just said it this way in the beginning, it would have been a lot more reasonable.

fair enough

The surname "LaRoche" has yet to be uttered in this thread.

That Andy has not been called up in preference to Terry Tiffee (!) seems to me to be absurd.

I'm not sure how what I said was a troll, kevin, although that can't be said about your statements.

As always, you are the pot calling the kettle black.

Tiffee's more of a stereotypical bench player than LaRoche or DeWitt would be.

Damn. You guys'll fight about anything. And I say this as one who's mixed it up with both Rambling Gent and kevin from time to time.

I wonder if Jones was damaged goods when the Dodgers signed him? That could explain why he showed up in such poor shape.

There's an example of your inability to follow the simplest of logic. That isn't even close to true.

I believe LaRoche is still injured and may be out for at least another month. Of all the young players in this game which I have followed, he is probably most deserving of a do-over for his first two years.

Grammar minute: "You're", not "your".

kevin, your lies persist.

And that's another of your false themes. You are constantly attacking people for not adding anything to the site. Look in the mirror, buddy.

Why would there be a verb?

LaRoche has been playing in Vegas again, .242/.455/.439.

Dallas McPherson would be my choice for a do-over. He's hitting .298/.393/.660 in AAA Albuqurque for the Marlins right now.

I wonder if kevin cries every morning he wakes up and realizes he's still kevin.

That would imply that he has some ability to look inside himself and modify his behaviour in a meaningful fashion.

kevin,

There's no co-ordination here. Independently, many people have come to detest your behaviour.

Get a grip. It's a perfectly reasonable position for us to take. Quit trying to play the victim.

Has any team ever wasted more money trying to fill one position than the Dodgers did signing Pierre and then Jones?

(Leave aside starting pitchers like Zito and Hampton, and think only about position players.)

Is he ever going to be good again?

That's all that matters to me.

BTF like the founding fathers intended it to be.
