Los Angeles Dodgers All-Short-Stuff Team

PrintAs a man of small stature - all 5' 7" of me - I've always had an affinity for the small man playing amongst the big boys of major league baseball, even if they weren't toiling for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Whether it was Little Joe Morgan (5' 7") flapping his left elbow on his way to MVP awards, Jimmy "The Toy Cannon" Wynn (5' 10") improbably launching home runs, or Freddie "The Flea" Patek (5' 4") stealing bases and gobbling up grounders at short, I just had to root for the little guys who got themselves to the major leagues.
The Dodgers have had their share of short-statured players over their years in Los Angeles. Here we present the best of the shortest. While this team would never have been an offensive juggernaut - only two players were/are above league average batters for their career - they just might have been a lot of fun to watch.
To qualify for this team, players had to be 5' 9" or less in height, as listed at baseball-reference.com and had to have played at least 25 games at that position for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers All-Short-Stuff Team
C - Dioner Navarro, 5' 9", in his first go-round with the Dodgers, he hit at a 94 OPS+ clip. Let's hope for that or better in 2011.
1B - Paul Lo Duca, 5' 9", Lo Duca posted a 105 OPS+ until he was part of the trade that brought Brad Penny and company to Los Angeles. The only Dodger 1B to qualify for this list, he appeared there 76 times. Maybe something made him feel more than 69 inches tall.
2B - Eric Young, 5' 9", EY played 309 games in two stints with the Dodgers and stole 112 bases at a 75% rate of success. He was the 11th overall pick in the expansion draft that stocked the Rockies and Diamondbacks, and was traded back to LA for Pedro Astacio a few years later.
3B - Don Zimmer, 5' 9", there are only three qualifiers at this position - Tony Abreu and Cesar Izturis being the others - and all appeared between 26 and 28 times there. It's simply more fun to have "Popeye" on the list, and he did outhit Izturis, slightly.
SS - Rafael Furcal, 5' 8", the incumbent is the best short shortstop in Los Angeles Dodger history. (Note: "Pee Wee" Reese doesn't qualify because he was listed at 5' 10"!)
OF - Davey Lopes, 5' 9", part of the famed Dodger infield of 1974-1981, Lopes stole 418 bases at an 83% success rate with LA, a total second only to Maury Wills in Dodger history. He played 50 games in the outfield for LA, including 35 starts in center.
OF - Trenidad (born Trent!) Hubbard, 5' 8", Hubbard had a 112 OPS+ as a Dodger utility man for the 1998 and 1999 seasons and appeared at every position except pitcher, 1B (too short!) and SS. Also the only player to make this team and the All-Spelling-Bee team.
OF - Chad Fonville, 5' 6", the only other qualifier in the outfield other than Lo Duca, and the shortest Los Angeles Dodger ever, Little Chad hit .245 / .302 / .272, 59 OPS+ as a Dodger, but provided plenty of excitement on the 1995 playoff team playing, well, small ball.
PH - Vic Davalillo, 5' 7", Davalillo made 95 pinch-hitting appearances over four seasons for the Dodgers, all after turning 41 years old, and after spending three-plus seasons in Mexico. He also ignited one of the great Dodger playoff comebacks, by starting a two-out, bases-empty, ninth-inning rally with a beautiful bunt single. His older brother, Pompeyo "Yo-Yo" Davalillo, was a 5' 3" shortstop for the 1952 Washington Senators who is tied for the shortest player ever not named Eddie Gaedel.
P - Fred Norman, 5' 8", made only 30 appearances in a Dodgers uniform, all in relief in 1970. Went on to be an effective starter (106 ERA+) for the Big Red Machine of all teams. (Only four pitchers 5' 9" or less have ever taken the mound for the Dodgers, the shortest of whom was Jackie Collum at 5' 7".)
The only other 5' 7" LA Dodgers ever were Jim Barbieri and 1955 World Series hero Sandy Amoros.

In all seriousness, I’d love to see another Dodger make the hall of fame, but I just don’t see the case for SG. Granted, I never saw him play, but 272 homers and a sub-.800 OPS is going to impress neither the counting guys nor the stats guys.

Hehe. I was saying he was always friendly to the media. Even after the divorce and illegitimate child business, he was still presented in a pretty positive light.
I’m thinking in terms of Kirby Puckett here. Borderline case, but his smile got him in. Turns out he was a real d-bag. Media didn’t care, voted him in because he had such a nice smile. (And I know the most heinous acts didn’t come to light until after he was elected).

He had 43 extra HR in 250 more at bats with the Mets than the Dodgers, but did have his best MVP voting seasons and a much higher OPS with LA. It’s probably debatable on either side, but he did play one more season with the Mets.

How the fuck is Brett Butler not on this list?
Or am I blind?
Vero Joe can confirm this
"You better send roses to the house, you feel me?! ROSES, DAWG, WITH PICKLES IN UM!! FRIED PICKLES!" - DJ Pauly D
When I first decided on this idea
I was fully expecting to be writing about Brett Butler and Jimmy Wynn. Alas, not. Once I found I could do a whole team at 5’ 9" and under, I went with the shortest of the short. This would be a very different looking team if the cutoff was 5’ 10" instead.
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I understand
I just know for certainty that Butler is not 5’10" so I was surprised he wasn’t there before looking at his “listed height”.
Perfect Couples

I always mix up Oklahoma City and New Orleans. Those seasons of the Hornets mixing cities jacked me up.
To Phil’s point though, I wouldn’t really say any of those clubs are elite teams.
But when it comes to the record against elite teams in the east, it’s a pretty small sample size at this point.
by Michael White on Feb 4, 2011 8:41 AM PST up reply actions
I agree
There are three elite teams right now, aside from the Lakers (whether or not they should count is subjective; I think they still are): Spurs, Celtics, and Heat. The Lakers have lost at home to all three teams, and lost on the road to San Antonio.
Note: I’m still not sold on the Heat in the playoffs, but they will be reckoned with, at least.
I’ve come full circle on the Heat and now think then can win a championship this year (as opposed to breaking through in the next few years.) Lebron can play like Magic Johnson when he needs to, Wade can score and they are well coached. Sure, Bosh is soft, but he can outscore you too.
by Michael White on Feb 4, 2011 8:47 AM PST up reply actions
Okay
so it is just a subjective thing that seems that they totally suck against the elite teams.

MLBTR says marmol close to a long term deal. Based on the fact that I think he’s similar to KRod, and the Cubs’ history with long term deals, I like my chances of seeing this bite Chicago in the ass. Something like 60/4.

Marmol walked 8 per nine in 2009 and six per nine in 2010. If he doesn’t have the greatest K/9 of all time like he did last year that’s a disaster.

From the prior thread that got overloaded
matthewmafa asked if he had missed LHP Roberto Feliciano in my rankings. To answer his question, although I ranked him #42 last year becausae he has a 1.76 ERA last season and he was only 20 years old, he was released in late July of last year according to Baseball America’s minor league transactions. he didn’t appear in a game after late July so sounds like he really is gone, so that’s why he wasn’t in my rankings this year

King was rated the Dodgers #136 prospect by Brandon.
On the George Lopez video at Dodgers.com, Gorman Erickson is dubbed “Griff Erickson” on the chyron. So that’s what he’s really going by now.
I had to look that up too
had no idea who he was when I watched that video til I later made the connection. Griff, huh? Guess he wants to be a sort of Crime Dog.

Why don’t sports leagues have better standards for measuring their players? In the NBA there are dozens of “listed as 6’10” but really 6’8" stories. Reading through this thread, you guys say that there are a lot of former Dodgers with discrepancies between their listed height and actual height.
I’m not sure if it’s important in the long run but it is something I’ve always been curious about.
because guys like to add an inch or two to their height. I’ve met several guys who are my height who claim they are 5’10". And guys who are shorter than my sister who claim they are 6’0".

The two nut graphs
Loney turns 27 in May, so he is entering the peak window of his career according to classic analysis. That doesn’t mean a power outburst will happen, of course; not everyone develops in the same way. Some players peak early. However, he’s clearly not helped by playing regularly in Dodger Stadium: his career OPS at home is .711, on the road it is .856. His career SLG at home is just .377; on the road it is .494. His ISO at home is .109, on the road it is .187.
It looks to me like Loney’s power is masked by his home park. Getting out of Dodger Stadium and into a more neutral environment would likely result in Loney “finding” his home run stroke. He’ll never be a big masher, but in a different park I suspect he’d get to the 20-homer level and improve at least slightly in other categories.
Sickels knows more than I do, of course, but I thought DS played as an average HR park and it is doubles and triples that are below-average. (But I may be confused — this may have been from the days before McCourt put seats in the foul territory.)
Whaddaya think, as Dodger fans — does this hold water? Is Road Loney the real Loney and he just needs to get away from LA?
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

Well it might be the doubles
that are holding his OPS down
Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for an hour. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Yes, but Sickels specifically mentions “Loney ‘finding’ his home run stroke.” So my questions/points are two:
1) I don’t think that would happen — at least not in any meaningful way.
2) Sickels’ larger, overall point might be true: that away from Dodger Stadium, Loney could turn into the Mark Grace clone (on-base machine, doubles masher) that we have been waiting for.
Thoughts?

Trade him and Elbert to Colorado for Dexter Fowler.

1) It is the right of any man to decide what his name is. Whatever the spelling, if he says “pronounce it like this” then do what he goddam says.
2) That said, Bryan and Brian are, for most people, pronounced the same.

The Dodgers are going to wear Brooklyn throwbacks this season (don’t know how often; I’m assuming once). You can vote here beginning Monday. Here are the choices:
Normally I would vote for the powder blues since I loved the 1980s, but those Dodgers unis were satin.
I like and owned once the middle cap
so I would by default choose that one but I agree with your original conclusion.
are these the 6 "Day games"

If they don’t use satin (very likely), I would vote for the powder blue.
But in reality I would vote for the regular uniforms instead.
At MSTI, Mike quotes the press release as saying
The throwback uniforms worn in 2011 will be made of the same material and maintain the same feel as those worn by the Dodgers throughout the season.so, yeah, no satin.

IIRC each team could protect a certain number of players, and as they got a player selected from their team they could protect more.
so thats how Jody Reed came here
"You better send roses to the house, you feel me?! ROSES, DAWG, WITH PICKLES IN UM!! FRIED PICKLES!" - DJ Pauly D
Teams protected a certain number of guys (I want to say 15), and everyone else was available. Then when a dude got drafted, you could protect (I think) 3 more. Until every team had a player taken, you couldn’t take 2 from the same team.
