Monday’s Revised Dodgers Lineup
Russell Martin scratched with the flu.
15 Rafael Furcal (S) SS
30 Orlando Hudson (S) 2B
99 Manny Ramirez LF
16 Andre Ethier (L) RF
27 Matt Kemp CF
7 James Loney (L) 1B
23 Casey Blake 3B
12 Brad Ausmus C
22 Clayton Kershaw (L) LHP
Fucall and Orlando have the big names, but so far this spring they have been big busts. A bad back and a bad wrist. Keep DeWitt and Hu up and they will surprise you. The future could be here before we recognize it
We are suposed to be a line-up that produces runs?
The first game hasn’t been played yet. Give em a chance. It may take a few weeks to get going , and it’s still a 162 game season. That being said, Broxton has to produce or its Hong Chi Kuo, in my book, to be the closer. Xavier Paul and Blake Dewhit have earned their way onto the team, but it’s a numbers game and there’s no place for them. I hope we don’t lose them. Go Blue!
I say, start the movement to make Lindblom the closer of the future…
Broxton can become trade bait for trying to land an ‘ace’ for this staff (ie: peavy, halladay, davey price…)
and sign pedro already!
Totally wrong thinking about Broxton masterlaw (above). I agree he’s not a closer, not yet anyway. But all that means to the Dodgers is that with him closing, we are losing one of the best relievers in the business.
