DODGERS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Going...Going...Not Gone: Dodgers Matt Kemp Makes Home Run Stealing Catch

Matt Kemp is a heck of a ball player--there is no denying that. Saturday night when his Dodgers were playing the Atlanta Braves he proved that once again by making this catch to steal a home run from Jason Heyward. You have to give Heyward a little credit too. Not many players would tip their hat to a guy that just took a home run from them! Your browser does not support iframes.

Manaea I’m going to look at all the legitimate mock drafts out there to this point to take the temperature of the experts to see who the Dodgers might target...

Los Angeles Dodgers look for the sign of the four

If the Dodgers are going to turn things around this season, it may come down to the number four.  As in players, that is. Zack Greinke’s return to the rotation is one major step towards the Dodgers turning the season around. The Dodgers $147 million man, Zack Greinke, returned to the rotation Wednesday night for the first time since April 11th and pitched well in the Dodgers 3...

A Matt Kemp Allen & Ginter Auto.

A quickie today on a recent pickup of the most excellent variety. Everything about this transaction and the card itself is great, and I couldn't be happier.Mattycakes! An on-card Allen & Ginter autograph of my favorite player for a relative bargain (under a blaster)? You know I jumped at that. It's a wonderful addition to my Bison PC, and marks Kemp John Hancock - of...

Greinke follows own timetable, gets it right

LOS ANGELES Zack Greinke isnt much for verbosity, usually letting his pitching do the talking. Wednesday night, though, the Dodgers 147-million right-hander was happy to comment about his performance in the Dodgers 3-1 win over the Washington Nationals. It was fun, the former Cy Young Award winner said. OK, so its maybe more of an observation than a full-fledged, in-depth comment...

Hyun-Jin Ryu plays catch with young fan in stands

Hyun-Jin Ryu enjoys interacting with fans. Even those in the stands. Ryu, who met fellow Korean Psy earlier in May and gave the pop star his Dodgers jersey, plays catch with a young fan, with the name Deuce on his jersey, for about five minutes at a recent Dodgers game. Deuce has a cannon. Ryu is pretty good, too. Set your cute set phasers to stun.

After Matt Kemp, Hyun Jin Ryu latest Dodger to do cool thing for fan

Hyun Jin Ryu was captured by dodgerfilms on YouTube playing catch with a boy, only known to me as “Deuce”, in the stands during batting practice.

Down On The Farm: Week Of April 22 & 29 – Van Slyke, Pederson, Rasmussen, Sweeney, Seager

There were some eye-popping performances in the Dodgers minor-league system the last couple weeks. I got to see three of the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes games in person, which was awesome. There are some guys below folks should keep eyes on this season. They could establish themselves as legitimate prospects with solid performances in 2013. —– Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes (4-2 and...

It's time: the Dodgers need to replace Brandon League with Kenley Jansen

OK, it might be time for the Dodgers to make a change. I'm not talking about firing Don Mattingly (yet), I'm talking about switching closers. I wasn't against the Brandon League signing, even when everyone else seemingly was. I've stated that on multiple occurrences. I've never said he's better than Kenley Jansen, just that I was for his signing. Now...
