Current Dodger Ties To LCS Teams

One way to look at both league championship series from a local perspective is to see what former Dodgers are on active rosters for each playoff team. But, I wanted to look at it a different way. Instead, here is a look at the Dodgers' current 40-man roster, and their ties to currently active teams.

ALCS

Rangers

Vicente Padilla: spent three and a half seasons in Texas, 2006-2009, going 43-34 in 103 starts with a 4.90 ERA, 93 ERA+ in 599 1/3 innings, before he wore out his welcome and was released last summer.

Rod Barajas: spent three years in Texas, 2004-2006, hitting .253/.294/.444, an 86 OPS+ with 70 doubles and 47 home runs in 325 games.

Scott Podsednik: he was drafted in the third round of the 1994 draft by Texas, and spent two years in rookie league and low Class A, before getting traded to the Marlins as the player to be named later to complete the 1995 trade for Bobby Witt.

Yankees

Ted Lilly: 49 games, 32 starts from 2000-2002, 8-12 with a 4.65 ERA, 97 ERA+ in 205 1/3 innings. Lilly left the Yankees in a three-team deal, in which New York acquired...

Jeff Weaver: Weaver was 12-12 in two seasons in New York, with a 5.35 ERA, 83 ERA+ in 237 1/3 innings. He allowed a walk-off home run to Florida's Alex Gonzalez in his only World Series appearance with the Yankees, in the 12th inning of Game 4 of the 2003 World Series.

Brad Ausmus: he was drafted by the Yankees in the 48th round in 1987, and was a farmhand in the organization through 1992, until he was taken by the Rockies in the 1993 expansion draft.

Carlos Monasterios: signed as an amateur free agent in 2005, spent less than a year in the organization, in the Gulf Coast League

NLCS

Phillies

Vicente Padilla: acquired by the Phillies from Arizona in the Curt Schilling deal in 2000, Padilla spent five and a half years in Philly, pitching in 162 games, 111 starts, going 49-49 with a 3.98 ERA, 105 ERA+ in 741 1/3 innings.

Rod Barajas: he spend 2007 in the city of brotherly love, hitting .230/.352/.393, a 90 OPS+ in 146 plate appearances. His OBP was by far his career high.

Carlos Monasterios: acquired by the Phillies from the Yankees in the Bobby Abreu / Cory Lidle deal in 2006, Monk spend three and a half years in the organization, never advancing past Double A, before the Dodgers acquired him in the 2009 Rule 5 draft.

Giants

Nothing. Which just might be the best news of all.

Forgot Barajas has a ring in a box.

Funny to see him trying to pump up Kim by pounding Kim’s chest as he kept giving up bombs to the Yanks in 2001 highlights i watched on Tenth Inning.

Greg Reynolds pitched yesterday in the AFL (he was one of the games being kicked around for Dotel from Colorado’s roster). That possibly eliminates him but I’m not sure. Others from their 40-man:

Juan Nicasio
Hector Gomez
Chaz Roe

Back when the trade happened, Nicasio stood out as the most interesting (great command).

Anyway, chances are we’ll just get an obscure minor leaguer no one has heard of.

And then, maybe we can develop that guy, and he can become the Dodgers’ minor league player of the year, and then, the Dodgers can trade him away for some pre-chewed Big League Chew.

So I linked the DT post about Kemp and Wooden and trying hard on my facebook. Well, my father read it. He contacted me and said it was interesting, and then said that he found it strange that it’s very rare for a white athlete to be accused of not trying. He said that Kareem was also accused of not trying or being lazy.

I’m not trying to start a firestorm or anything but it was something interesting to think about (I’m also in two Black Church studies classes this semester, so thinking about race and race relations and all that is something I have to do a lot).

The ad on their site doesn't mention the salary

So, so as far as they know you never saw the Craigs list ad. Since you know what they want to pay, you can basically make salary negotiation the first order of business. Say you’d be interested at X (whatever you think would be a good rate) and see what happens. They may go quite a bit higher than what they put in the CL ad. Worst that can happen is they say no way. Basically take charge of the conversation and see what happens.

Who would you choose? A guy like Clint Hurdle wouldn’t threaten Mattingly but he isn’t a guy with ‘experience’. A guy like Jim Tracy? Multiple stints, but the instance Hurdle was fired, he took over. Heck, the Rockies hired him because they knew that if they fired Hurdle mid season, he could take over.

I rather Mattingly hires a guy he wants vs. a guy he ‘needs’. Just pick a guy he can bounce ideas off.

Well

Spawn is only about-to-turn-three, so take this with a grain of salt… things could change…

…but here’s my advice.

1. Don’t give the kid dessert. Really, just don’t. Make sweets a special thing.
2. Serve vegetables every night. If there’s a veggie that the kid seems to like, serve it often.
3. Don’t make a big deal about whether/how much the kid eats. Put food in front of the kid, and if the kid is hungry, the kid will eat.

Just my two cents, but it seems to be working with Spawn so far.

yeah

I dunno, I just pretty much ate everything. My younger brother used to not eat veggies. The upside, though, was that we all listen to my father. So my dad would tell my brother he couldn’t leave the table until he finished his veggies. So my brother would eat them, grudgingly, and then get in an argument with my sister. While he was distracted, my dad would put more veggies on his plate.

Hilarity ensues.

Now with 33% more Kavula

by Humma Kavula on Oct 15, 2010 3:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

Makes four halves, 4 servings

2 russet potatoes with thick skins

5 ounces Red Hawk

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature

1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary

1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme

Salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Prick the potato skins 5 or 6 times with a fork so steam will escape, and bake for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a table knife inserted slides out easily. Set aside until cool to touch.

Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and gently scoop out centers into a medium-sized bowl, leaving a little flesh behind and trying not to break the skin. Add the cheese, sour cream, butter and herbs to the bowl and mix well. Salt and pepper to taste.

Spoon a quarter of the potato mixture into each potato skin. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes and serve.

by mleadman on Oct 15, 2010 3:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

Red Hawk

is a triple-cream, washed-rind cheese. Washed rind is a “stinky cheese,” and it does stink. But it is delicious, my favorite kind of cheese, and Red Hawk — made up in Marin county by Cowgirl Creamery — is a very good example of the variety.

Although, I have to say, the last couple of wheels I’ve bought have been a little too unripe. Next time I get it I’m gonna let it ripen in my fridge for a week or 10 days before I eat it.

The best/most famous example of washed rind cheese is Epoisses. It’s so stinky, it was banned from the Paris metro. But it’s really, really delicious.

Epoisses, in fact, is the cheese that put me on a cheese kick.

Some of my favorites:

I’ve been working my way through different varieties of washed-rind. Red Hawk, of course, but also Hooligan, Livarot (super, super stinky!), and maybe the star of the show, Oma. If you like this kind of cheese, and if they carry Oma, you may want to give it a shot.

Blues: Everyone swears by Bleu de Bocage, but I prefer the creamier St. Agur and Cashel Blue. YMMV, certainly, on this.

How long do they keep in the fridge?

One of my problems is I always tend to buy too much of things I like and then end up throwing out half of it because it goes bad.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man

by mleadman on Oct 15, 2010 4:06 PM PDT up reply actions  

It depends on how ripe it is.

Rule of thumb: White mold is OK. Green or Black mold, not OK.

Soft cheeses I’ll keep for two weeks, maybe a little more — longer than that and I throw it away. But I might be being too conservative. If you don’t see green or black mold, it should be fine.

Hard cheeses like aged Gouda and Parmesan can keep weeks, maybe months.

The big key is how to store it. Wrap it in wax paper and then put it in a ziploc. Change the wrapping after several days. Do not store the cheese directly touching plastic.

Other key: bring all cheese to room temperature. Cut off what you intend to eat and only warm up that portion — keep the rest in the fridge.

All of that will keep the cheese lasting longer.
