PrintHere is a quick update as to how some of our prospects are doing in the winter leagues. To see all Dodger winter league stats, click here.
Dee Gordon has cooled off some since I last posted an update, but he is still batting .400 with a .943 OPS. He is now 6 for 11 in SB's, and has 6 errors in 15 games.
Alfredio Silverio is also hitting .400 in the Dominican Winter League, although he his sample size is much smaller (6 hits in 15 at bats). In addition, all of his hits have been singles thus far.
Rafael Ynoa has started playing in the Dominican Winter League since my last post, and has 2 hits in 5 at bats.
Brian Cavazos-Galvez and Jonathan Garcia are still playing winter ball, but both have barely seen the field and have 9 at bats between them.
Ivan De Jesus continues to put up strong stats in the AFL, including a 5 for 5 game on Nov. 4th. He s hitting .349 with 1 homer and a .922 OPS in 63 at bats.
Trayvon Robinson is hitting .182 in his last 10 games, and has a .250 overall average. He is 6 for 7 in stolen bases though.
Jerry Sands has also hit a cold streak in the AFL, batting .222 in his last 10 games. However, his season OBP is .404, and he has walked as much as he has struck out (15 times each).
Scott Elbert has shown a ton of improvement over the past few weeks, as Coloblue wrote earlier today.
Steven Ames has left the AFL due to an apparent injury.
After a rough start, Justin Miller has not allowed an earned run in his last 4.2 innings.
Javy Guerra continues to be wild, but has managed to keep his ERA at 1.80 for the 10 innings he has pitched
Geison Aguasviva is now playing in the Dominican Winter League, and allowed 2 runs in his only appearance thus far.
Javier Solano has a 4.26 ERA through 6.1 innings in the Mexican Winter League, and has picked up just 3 strikeouts.
Finally, Ronald Belisario isn't a prospect, but it should be noted that he has thrown 7.1 scoreless innings in the Venezuelan Winter League. He has also picked up 6 saves, and has a 7 to 1 strikeout to walk ratio.

Thought this was interesting...
The bat Kirk Gibson used for his historic home run for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1988 World Series sold for $575,912.40 early Sunday in SCP Auctions’ October/November auction.
Gibson’s home jersey from Game 1 of the World Series went for $303,277.20.
The auction also included Gibson’s 1988 World Series batting helmet ($153,388.80), NL most valuable player award ($110,293.20), World Series trophy ($45,578.40) and World Series road uniform ($9,664.80).
Proceeds from the sale of the World Series trophy and MVP award will benefit the Kirk Gibson Foundation.
HE SOLD HIS MVP AND WS TROPHY????
What in the holy fuck?
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
for charity
i’m ok with that. Think of all the good that you can do with that money.
LAST SEASON, I led this team in ninth-inning doubles in the month of August!
I didn't read the last sentence, I was too confused on the first part
I guess it’s for a good cause so that’s cool, but could you imagine selling an MVP and WS trophy? I would save that and hold onto it for dear life, you know? Idk, maybe he doesn’t need that kind of stuff to feel validation or something, and he knows he did it so what does he need the trophies for.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Yeah thats crazy no matter what its for
I would put that in my will or something, and hold on to it while I was still alive.

It looks to me like the WS trophy and MVP award – for charity, yes – were thrown in and offered to his charitable foundation to make the rest of it good, and look better. The big ticket items – bat, jersey and helmet – were sold for profit because he or his family need/want the money.
All proceeds for the six items went to the Kirk Gibson Foundation.
by Eric Stephen on Nov 14, 2010 12:05 PM PST up reply actions
Are you sure? I thought I had read earlier (at the time the sale was first announced) a terse comment from Gibson that family circumstances had dictated the sale at this time. I’m not sure I could find it again, and I’m very sorry if I’ve imagined this. Where did you see that all proceeds were going to the foundation? I don’t see anything wrong with it anyway. More usually it’s some private collector/investor making the money from this stuff (as will no doubt happen some years from now when the stuff is resold, and resold again.) I don’t mind if the player has been smart enough to hang onto it until it has some value. It’s only when you see memorabilia donated to the Baseball Museum in Cooperstown, or similar, that it’s avoided completely.
On second look, you are correct
per the auction website:
Proceeds from the sale of the World Series trophy and MVP award will benefit the Kirk Gibson Foundation.
Thanks for that.

Last night in Arizona
@Jason_Grey #Dodgers Jerry Sands hits a bomb to straight-away center – hits halfway up batter’s eye over the 410 sign on a night ball not carrying well about 16 hours ago
About Sands
You guys probably saw this already, but in case this hasn’t been passed around, a friend linked me to this fangraphs post about Sands and his lack of AFL power:
For Sands, the focus has been hitting the ball the other way. At first, I thought maybe Sands was primarily an opposite field hitter, but given the sheer number of balls he’s hit towards right field in two days, I’m convinced it’s the orders he was given by the Dodgers. This is a guy not out there to show that he can hit the ball 400 feet, but working on improving his game by spraying balls around the park.
http://www.dingersblog.com
So we tell James Loney to pull the ball and Sands to go the other way more. Either the front office really wants the RF grass killed, or there is a lack of a philosophy here.

BP Top 20 prospects list for the D'Backs are out.
http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=12441
Five-Star Prospects
1. Jarrod Parker, RHP
Four-Star Prospects
2. Tyler Skaggs, LHP
Three-Star Prospects
3. Chris Owings, SS
4. Bobby Borchering, 3B
5. Matt Davidson, 3B
6. Marc Krauss, OF
7. Wade Miley, LHP
8. Pat Corbin, LHP
9. David Holmberg, LHP
Two-Star Prospects
10. Paul Goldschmidt,, 1B
11. Tyler Linton, OF
Nine More:
12. A.J. Pollock, OF: He missed all of the regular season due to elbow surgery; many scouts see him as a ’tweener.
13. Keon Broxton, OF: He had the best tools in the Midwest League after Mike Trout, but he looks foolish against even the fringiest of breaking balls.
14. Raul Navarro, SS: The 18-year-old Dominican has a line-drive bat and true shortstop skills, giving him the potential to move up significantly.
15. J.R. Bradley, RHP: Bradley offers a silky-smooth delivery and plenty of projection; like Navarro, he could get a full report next year.
16. Sam Demel, RHP: This power-armed righty was impressive at times out of the big-league bullpen. However, he needs more consistency with his control and slider.
17. Carlos Rosa, RHP: Rosa can still light up a radar gun but has yet to figure out how to miss bats.
18. Charles Brewer, RHP: The 12th-round pick from ’09 led the organization in ERA (2.45) and strikeouts (153); he has legitimate back-of-the-rotation stuff.
19. Josh Collmenter, RHP: Command, control, deception all work in his favor; but Collmenter rarely gets out of the 80s with his fastball.
20. Tyler Green, RHP: An over-slot eighth-rounder, Green has low-90s velocity and an advanced curve for teenager.
Pollack was the pick the D’Backs got from the Dodgers for signing Orlando Hudson.

Latest I read this morning, the NCAA initially concluded after a meeting with the Newtons that he didn’t know Dad was asking for money from MSU. Where this story goes next, I don’t know. The kid I met a few weeks ago seemed decent enough that I hope he’s okay, but I also notice that certain boosters who Tuberville barred from the sidelines are back down there. Frankly, I’ve had a bad feeling since Chizik hired Trooper Taylor.

What is the baseball equivalent of winning on a hail mary?
My guess is probably down by one with 2 outs in the ninth inning with nobody on base, but I’m not sure.
The equivelant of that play
is a tie game in the 9th, where the runner hits a popup, the outfielder misplays it, then throws it away to third and the runner scores winning the game.

In that situation, would a coach tell you to try and catch it or bat it down? I honestly don’t know for sure, but I would assume they would say to just get the ball away from the receivers by batting it down.

Loney
I still think he’d have value for a team intrigued by RBIs, defense, and one who plays in a hitters’ park. Especially a team with power at a few positions already like Toronto or the Brewers (I’m still dreaming of a Prince Fielder deal). That being said, if we sign Dunn to play LF and keep Loney another year he could finally break out for 15 HRs, even though we might have the worst OF defense in the league.
If Loney still sucks, we can dump him after next year and plug Dunn in at 1B.

If Stanford wins out they have a good shot at a BCS bowl. If they lose to Cal, they slide into the secondary bowls and slide Arizona and Cal down the ladder.

Alamo outbid the Holiday last year, as far as the purse they were willing to offer, bumping their bid from 4 to 2, and knocking the Holiday and Sun bowl out. The Alamo bowl now has the big the Holiday bowl had, and I think the Holiday bowl is matching up Pac 10 #3 with Big 12 #5

Maybe you just couldn’t hold onto your childhood, I’m fine with it. Actually, the books are really for kids, teens, and people in their 20s who still like to read. Movies are the same demographic. Honestly though, they can be liked by people of any age. It’s all a matter of individual tastes.

this is the most depressing point of view on reading. READING IS AMAZING!!!

Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes. Feels a bit like Band of Brothers (in that it shows a wide span of characters) but during Vietnam. and really great and fucked up. and fictionalized.
even so
LOTR is way better than Harry Potter. Harry Potter is like the less good, HS drama mama version of LOTR. I also like Narnia way better too. Not hte movies. fuck the movies.

if you’re not used to silent films, the exaggerated melodrama takes some getting used to, but it has some amazing light-years-ahead-of-its-time effects and sets, and is just one of the most influential films ever made. I saw the old “restored version” at the NuArt in West LA about 10 years ago. On the big screen it’s even better.

I never hopped aboard the Mad Men train

sorry
that made less sense than things i normally say.
Walking Dead feels like a ZOMBIE greatest hits.
I’ve had zombie and vampire fatigue for some time now, so that show doesn’t interest me. However, as a fellow snob, I can unequivocally say that Mad Men is the shit and deserves all its praise, and I rarely watch TV shows.

But at tonight’s Laker game, I had a ten year old giving game commentary, talking to players and basically just wouldn’t shut up for the entire game.
I say ten year old because that is what this person sounded like but in reality, this person was a at least 4 to 5 times that age.
I felt bad for all around us.
If you're not part of a group cheer
you’re just embarrassing yourself.
Unless you can belt out the phrase “You’re a wanker number nine”
That may be my most obscure reference yet

It was more like
Let’s go Kobe, oh I hate those 3-pointers, pick up the pace. Multiply by a hundred or so.

I used to do that when I was 11-12 at Dodger games
I’m sure I was hated by the fans around me, just as I would hate on me on me if I had to sit next to young me.

There is a rule on DT
about no sarcasm. There is no such rule here and I am not saying there should be but understand, what you may think is harmless fun, might not be viewed that way so don’t surprised when someone is bothered.
If you were here I'd be staring daggers
lol

Technically
it is not “no sarcasm”, but “no sarcasm that might be misinterpreted”, but your warning should be heeded nonetheless.

verily. just put some positive thoughts out into the universe and pray this surgery makes my roommate feel better or I might have to resort to Eric’s favorite activity…

Eric’s favorite activity…
I am intrigued.
Did I miss something earlier about your roommate having surgery? All the best to her.

punching kittens, right?
I appreciate that…she broke her ankle a week ago and is going to get surgery on it tomorrow. She uh…she hasn’t been the easiest person to be around since then (which is understandable) but she loses it every night and usually takes an hour to calm down. Except tonight, there was an added bonus of her getting in a fight with her mother. Also, I am extremely busy/stressed with school and it doesn’t help that she wants me to hang out all the time.
If she doesn’t start feeling better after the surgery (something about broken bones causing nausea), I am not sure she’ll be able to finish out the semester. I really do feel for her — don’t get me wrong — and it’s a terrible situation but you’d think from the way she’s been acting that she had been diagnosed with cancer instead of breaking her ankle.

Maybe you can draw whiskers on her when she’s sleeping, just so Bodhi will be safe from your kitten-punching rampage.

I think Bodhi is too old to be considered a kitten… :(

As someone who has been your roomates shoes in a little way
over the last couple of months, I can see where I could try someone’s patience. Good job by you Maddz to hang in there with her.

the way i look at it
i figure this is her absolute nadir in terms of personality and presentation…and i am extremely empathetic. the danger lies in my being too empathetic and dragging down my studies as well. which i can’t afford, obviously. i just feel really badly because i probably would be way, way worse if it were me.

The last volume of Harry Potter was out
on the same day as DT Day at Dodger Stadium w/Frank McCourt. I recall a commenter bringing his fiancee who read the book during that game.
I drove Greg Brock back to his home and got back home around 5 in the afternoon (where my copy was waiting). I spent the next 8 hours trying to read it through at least to get the main points so no one could spoil the book for me. After I got a little sleep, I went back and read it more thoroughly.
Over the past few years, I pick it up now and then and read a few chapters.
I remember that too
She was sitting in the row behind me, just to the left or right, reading the book during the game. She audibly gasped when she got to a certain point in the book. I haven’t read it, so I don’t know what it was exactly, but apparently, it was a very big event in the narrative.

You know what’s great when you go to take a shower? When you’ve already gotten about halfway through and you go to grab a bottle and there is a creepy ass spider crawling around right from where you picked it up. Freaking…a.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
Dude, don’t be freaked out by spiders. Either squash them, or take them outside to eat other insects that are more annoying, like flies.

that sounds like reasonable advice
from someone who is a parent of someone slightly older than lvdown.

You sound just like my dad, lol. Some people are just freaked out by spiders, and I’m one of them.
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
me too, the give me the heebies.

If we lived in a world of
Land of the Giants or lived in Africa I could understand this human phobia of spiders, but since we don’t I simply don’t get how anyone is afraid of any insect. Grossed out by the human looking potato bug I understand, but scared of spiders. Man up

Eric
you will be happy to know that Greg Brock:
dislikes non-traditional Dodger (or other team’s) caps as much as you do, finds Oregon’s plethora of uniform and helmet selections vexing and hopes the Dodger acquire some power.
