From Buster Olney today, regarding 8 pieces of conventional wisdom:
The Dodgers rotation is a mess:
Remember, L.A. finished No. 2 in the majors in starters’ ERA in 2009, the foundation for their division title. Now, with Randy Wolf gone, their No. 1 is Clayton Kershaw, who is a rising star but has just 53 games in the majors; their No. 2 is Chad Billingsley, whose stiff-legged delivery has scouts wondering whether he is at high risk for reinjuring himself; their No. 3 is Hiroki Kuroda. And they don’t know who their No. 4 and No. 5 starters will be.
There is still time for the Dodgers to add a veteran, such as Joel Pineiro.
It would be cool to see a video breakdown of early 2009 Chad vs. late season 2009 Chad to compare his deliveries.
2009. Dodgers rotation was the foundation for a division title.
2010. No Wolf, Dodgers rotation is a mess.
Wow, Randy Wolf must be really, really important.

Before 2009: Dodgers rotation is a mess because it was missing their ace Derek Lowe. And a bad bullpen due to relying on young arms.
Mid 2009: Dodgers rotation is a mess because of their youth and relying on Randy Wolf as their ‘ace’.
End of 2009: Dodgers rotation is a mess because Chad Billingsley regressed, and relying on Padilla.
Before 2010: Dodgers pitching is a mess because Randy Wolf left.
yet
we have had one of the best rotation all throughout 2009..

Apparently what we really need
is a veteran. Thanks Buster, we all know that being a veteran is what makes a player great.
I particularly enjoyed the “there’s still time” part, implying the Dodgers are currently on course to plow right into a mountain, if only they would add a veteran to right the ship (or plane, I guess).

well i like that they got Kemp and Chad signed , it would have been criminal to let Kemp go.
If practice makes perfect....
Yet nobodies perfect.....
Then why practice ???
Letting him go wasn’t really an option…if they couldn’t agree on a contract, they would have just went to arbitration for a one-year deal.

THE DODGERS STARTERS
McDonald and Elbert both need to be in AAA as everyday starters until the ALL-Star break. McDonald gave up a bunch of long balls but he will be a great Pitcher someday, he is a lot like P. Martinez and J.Whetland were when they first started with the Dodgers. They needed to resign Wolf and Weaver, Kuroda is iffy at best, Padilla, who knows, Don’t let that MESSY DIVORCE Screwup the Dodgers, basically the Dodgers are a good team, 90 wins as is, but if they want to get back into the playoffs they need 2 more starters, quality starters and get rid of the FAMILY FEUD folks.
