Dodgers Signed Jackie Robinson 65 Years Ago Today

PrintOn this date 65 years ago, the Dodgers signed Jackie Robinson to a contract with the Triple A Montreal Royals.
Here's a look at some Dodger news:
- In the story of Logan White losing out on the Mets' general manager job to remain with the Dodgers, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com also reports that special assistant to the GM Mark Weidemaier resigned earlier this week and will be an advanced scout with Arizona. I believe that lowers the total number of special assistants and/or advisors to nine.
- I really enjoyed Jon Weisman's note on Dodger Thoughts from the screening of Fernando Nation Thursday night:
"I think when I decided to play this game, I knew a lot of things were going to happen," Valenzuela said. "My first year with the Dodgers was the hardest year for me. I wanted to practice with the team; I wanted to be with the team. I wanted to just enjoy the game. ... (But) I had it in my head that's part of the game. I tried to do my best; I tried to take care of everyone.
"Also, I liked that year. That happens only once in life. It happened to me in '81. I enjoyed it."
As he answered, looking at me as he spoke, that was when that big smile came across his face. It didn't have anything to do with me, it was just him enjoying the memory, or the moment of talking about the memory. But it really, really made me happy.
- Evan Drellich of MLB.com also reported on the upcoming 30 for 30 ESPN documentary:
Filming of "Fernando Nation" was done during this past season, when a camera crew following Valenzuela around Dodger Stadium, seemingly everywhere -- even to the golf course when the Dodgers held a charity outing. For Valenzuela, who said he liked the film, it achieved what he had hoped -- to remember that his emergence wasn't truly overnight, even if that's the common perception.
"I [wanted it] to show that it was very hard for me," Valenzuela said. "I worked many years in Mexico, traveled by bus many hours. That's the idea, that it wasn't easy, it wasn't easy for me. When I was with the Dodgers, I played one year in the Minor Leagues, I was lucky. But I played before. I hope everyone liked it, because I liked it."
- Mike Petriello over at Mike Scioscia's Tragic Illness has begun his position-by-position review of the 2010 Dodgers, and has covered catcher, first base, and second base so far. A tip of the cap to Petriello for his use of 1989 Topps.

Old, but I like Ross Newhan, and he has a blog.
It started from Frank and Jamie’s first day of Dodger ownership and it has continued—the loss of quality people through firing or resignation, with most of those people quickly moving into quality jobs that served to make the McCourts look foolish
Most recently, Frank fired club president Dennis Mannion, prompting the executive of another major league club to say, “I don’t get it. Dennis had become repected throughout baseball. He gave the Dodgers a positive face.”
Now we’re back to the negative face of McCourt as club president.
Mannion, who tried to give general manager Ned Colletti as much operating room as possible while the McCourt’s go through their financially strapping divorce, was guaranted a buyout, which would evaporate if he commented.
Most people close to the club believe the firing resulted from the fact that McCourt didn’t want to pay Mannion’s $1 million salary and was tired of the hits he was taking during coverage of the court trial regarding his divorce for operating out of a Beverly Hills office instead of Dodger Stadium.
Now, he is returning to a Dodger Stadium office with even closer control of the financial reins.
Thanks!

like Northwestern did!
Michigan State nearly blew it themselves. They were up one with under two minutes left needing a first down to ice it. Baker rushed up the middle and got the first down, but kept running to score a TD. He should have downed it once he got the first down, because the only way Northwestern could have come back was to get the ball back. They did get the ball back, but their QB threw a pick, so MSU got lucky. Still, nice comeback win for them.

complete joke they were ranked this week
and USC wasn’t. Texas isn’t a top 50 team.
Yeah of course
why would they not rank USC who has beaten…. over Texas who just beat the number 5 team in the country. Or it could be that the rankings have always been a joke. Maybe both.

The important question...
Is there a gif worthy Texas fan shot?
This is just purely a social call. You know, just two adults getting a stew on, man.
Zack Greinke
You figure that if Lee stays with Texas, that the Yanks will give up a bunch for Greinke, but doesn’t Greinke make us automatically competitive? We would have 4 excellent starters and perhaps copy what the Giants have done this season.
Although I would love to get some power, I don’t see us getting enough to make a difference, so it seems like pitching is the way to go.
This is the point where I tell you we don’t have enough to get Greinke.
by Eric Stephen on Oct 23, 2010 12:43 PM PDT up reply actions
We may not want to give it up, but we have enough.
My point is that getting a stud pitcher is the only way I see us as being competitive next year. May not be worth it to trade the farm for the short term, but otherwise, things look incredibly bleak to me.
We may have enough, but should the Royals even trade Greinke? Their farm is by far the best in baseball, and our best SP prospect would be their 4th or possibly 5th best, and our best positional prospect would be around their 4th-6th as well. If they were to trade Greinke they should trade Butler too, because they would be going all in for 2 or 3 years from now prospects wise.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
My understanding is that he wants out, and with KC’s budget, they have to at least consider offers.
Good point about their minor leaguers, though.
If they are looking to trade him, I'm guessing they should look at better systems than ours
Or a team with young MLB ready players. It would be kinda sick to see the Royals trade Greinke for top prospects about a year away from the majors then see all their incredibly valuable prospects come up at the same time.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
and they wont even be close to competitive by the time Greinke leaves them via FA so they might as well use him to help reload.

That is true
But it kinda seems like KC’s got an embarrassment of riches in their minors right now, I just wonder what they would look for in a trade for Greinke.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Why would KC make that trade?
They would hang up the phone.
by Eric Stephen on Oct 23, 2010 12:58 PM PDT up reply actions
The folks who really like Kemp, really like him, so I don’t think they would hang up. Kemp would be the main piece. I’m not saying we wouldn’t have to give up more, but Greinke’s not cheap at $13. 5 MM for 2011 and 2012.
Matt Kemp, like Greinke, would never be on any good Royals teams by the time his contract runs out.
Matt Kemp, unlike Greinke, was bad last year.
by regfairfield on Oct 23, 2010 1:05 PM PDT up reply actions
Greinke will make anywhere from $10-18 million or so below his market value over the next two years.
by Eric Stephen on Oct 23, 2010 1:06 PM PDT up reply actions
That seems high to me. Some still question his makeup, so I don’t see the market for him being $20MM, especially long-term. What might also hurt him is that the Red Sox and Yanks are supposed to be on his no-trade list.
I have no doubt whatsoever that he would make at least as much as CC did yearly money wise, and possibly even the same years
No doubt.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
If he doesn’t want to play in NY and Boston, that doesn’t leave a lot of big market suitors, and if he doesn’t like LA because it’s a big media market, that really makes the list dwindle.
Washington has discussed putting up a huge contract for Lee
The Cubs have been willing to spend big, Angels have been willing to spend big. It only takes two team who really want him(and there will be plenty of teams who really want him).

New York and Boston are on his no trade list likely because they have the $$$ to offer a big extension. It gives the player leverage.
Good point, don't see this mentioned enough

Grienke
Moore does like his toosly shortstops that if you squint during practice you can envision the next best thing but never actually get there. So maybe hoping against hope he really likes Gordon and we can offer a package centered around him for Grienke? I know I’m just dreaming but I’d have to actually say nice things about Colletti if he could get it done.
Even if the Phils one this one wouldn't game 7 favor the Giants
(pitching matchup wise)? Though Cain can be hittable, too.
One game at a time.
Except either way today’s game is just more evil regardless of result so instead I think we’ll have a rainy day Wii night and check the score later.

Phils should feel frustrated they only got 2 runs that inning
Gnats still perfectly in this game when it could’ve been 4 runs… but not a good start for Sanchez.

Also, there's a sure fire way to get Zack Grienke. Trade Kershaw for him.
But I imagine nobody wants to do that.
Would you?
Kershaw may not be as good as him, but do you not expect him to become as good (not as his 9 win season, but Greinke will likely never be that good again, either)?
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Not taking into consideration last season, I'd guess
He has the chance to be just as good, the difference will be that he will walk more but strike out more as well.

And why did Torres go?

Prior to the 2006 draft, I talked to a scouting director who wanted to take Lincecum and turn him into a 200 inning reliever a la Marshall.

Not that I’m rooting for the Giants, but I always love in the postseason situations like this when ace starter pitches in relief. Hopefully it works out like Kevin Brown for the 1998 Padres.

Who was that Ex-Dodger that kept hitting the shit out of Brown?
Tip of my tongue, but can’t remember him? Left handed platoon houtfielder

Are they really chanting over rated?
Lincecum has two more Cy Young over the entire Phillies pitching staff.

Uribe as the hero
Ruiz and Victorino combining on one of the worst luck double plays in baseball history, Giant fans soon-to-be gloating about their closer with “ice-water in his veins” when he just got lucky…it’s almost comically painful for a Dodger fan!
so Carlos Ruiz FINALLY gets his "F-U" moment....
…and it comes the one time we WANT him to succeed. That makes me hate him even more!
its already starting. all the asshole giants fans are gloating on my facebook. i will never hear the end of it.
The Phillies should really consider
trading Victorino, signing Werth, and put Brown in RF, cause if they let Werth walk the outfield in 2011 of Ibanez, Victorino, Brown is not going to be that impressive.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Werth in CF would be a monster.
I think Victorino is too similar to Loney.
They really arent that good of players…but if they make lots of money they really arent good.
Much easier, no foul fences to deal with

I think the Rangers are the favorites.
Hamilton and Cruz are smashing the ball, and their pitching can hold up with the Giants.
i guess this at least means we get
to defeat the NL champion (ouch that hurt) 18 times next year

just compared these Giants to the 1988 Dodgers:
this is the unlikeliest band of position players to reach world series since the 1988 dodgers. good for them. #SFGiants
Giants don't dig East vs. West World Series
since Divisional Play, the Giants have won 3 NL Pennants, each time facing an AL West team (Oakland, Anaheim and Texas).

harold Reynolds bringing up Don Mattingly’s two-trips night as evidence of why Bruce Bochy is so great. Because, you know, he left in Mark Langston in 1998 so now he has the experience to win the NLCS. Donnie just needs enough experience to know not to turn around and talk to the first baseman and he’ll be ready for the world series too.
