Dodgers Set Post All-Star Break Starting Rotation

The Dodgers have set their post All-Star break starting rotation, beginning Friday in Arizona:

Manager Don Mattingly noted Billingsley's history against the Giants (Billingsley is 7-4 with a 3.01 ERA against San Francisco in his career) and that Arizona has many left-handed bats (47.5% of their PA have come from left-handed batters, compared to 43.1% for San Francisco) as reasons for having Lilly pitch in Arizona rather than San Francisco.

Billingsley and De La Rosa will each have nine days rest in between starts, but Mattingly said it wouldn't be a problem as each pitcher has a throwing schedule during the break. In addition, the team is mindful of De La Rosa's workload. Rubby pitched 110 1/3 innings last season, and has thrown 85 2/3 innings so far this season.

The schedule is also flexible enough -- four consecutive Thursdays off beginning with July 21 -- that the Dodgers can maneuver the rotation based on matchups as needed.

Barajas Almost Ready

Catcher Rod Barajas will play his fourth and final rehab game today with the Class A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. He will be designated hitter for the third time in four days. Mattingly said Barajas has passed every test from trainer Stan Conte, and even scored from first on a play. "We had to check what happened to the left or right fielder on that play," Mattingly joked. Barajas will be reevaluated Thursday when the Dodgers hold a full team workout in Phoenix, and will likely be activated on Friday.

Castro Retires

Juan Castro, the four-time Dodger who was signed by the club as an amateur out of Mexico in 1991, has retired after 17 major league seasons. The former shortstop will join the vast cadre of special assistants under GM Ned Colletti, working in baseball operations and player development, evaluating at both the major and minor league level. "Juan was a consummate pro as a player," said Colletti. "The opportunity to add him to our staff as someone who can both recognize and teach those traits is a true plus for this organization."

Castro signed with the Dodgers three different times in the past three seasons. He was designated for assignment on June 6 when the Dodgers promoted Dee Gordon.

You’re that big of a fan of Eveland, huh….

All I know about Eveland is that his first name is Dana and he used to play for the A’s.

He’s a random player to me, no more, no less. Actually having an opinion of him would mean I actually know what he can do, which I don’t.

Reasons why hitchhiking is dangerous

I'm watching the Brewers/Reds game

is it just ‘grass is greener’ or why does Randy Wolf’s 87mph elyball just look faster/badder than Lilly’s?

So Donnie picked the one game of the five to start Lilly in a day game. Granted inside of a retractable roof.

Once Garvey made public his plans

to be a potential of a club that is not for sale, he should have resigned.

Not to say I don’t agree with you, but the Lakers had Magic for years on its payroll and part owner despite him trying to buy other teams.

by Tripon on Jul 10, 2011 12:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

He wasn't trying to buy the Lakers though was he?

A. He is Magic
B. He was not out to buy the team out from under Dr. Buss.

by Grimjack on Jul 10, 2011 12:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

No, but he was trying to buy other NBA teams while still being employed by the Lakers.

by Tripon on Jul 10, 2011 12:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

And Garvey is trying to buy the team that he worked for. Magic Minority owner, Garvey Employee. Or as I like to look at it Apples and Oranges.

by Pure Azure on Jul 10, 2011 12:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

It is probable

that Magic cleared those discussions with Dr. Buss beforehand. Based on what little is public, the Dodgers went to Garvey and asked him to stop talking about it. And he chose not to so they acted.

by bhsportsguy on Jul 10, 2011 12:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

Who pulls more tail, Dr. Buss or Garvey?

Jerry was smarter about it since he has been a confirmed bachelor for years.

by bhsportsguy on Jul 10, 2011 1:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

I agree

but Steve Garvey is a hell of a lot more likeable than the Dodger org. right now.

by JLS23 on Jul 10, 2011 12:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

Why? I mean, I'm all for McCourt's ouster but Garvey really did blatantly cross the line

on the payroll while trying to put together group to oust his current boss? He should’ve quit, at that point imho.

In Garvey’s defense, why quit when you can last a couple of more months making money off a rube like McCourt?

I know I said this before, but when your boss is an ass, why should he expect his employees to act better than him?

This is a valid point.

by Grimjack on Jul 10, 2011 12:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

Because

you are not the boss. And even if you think that way, should you be bothered by being fired then.

by bhsportsguy on Jul 10, 2011 1:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

It’s a little douchy of Garvey to do that and then play the victim of being fired…. /justsayin

Media is portaying him as such, I still think that his hands are dirty.

by Grimjack on Jul 10, 2011 1:00 PM PDT up reply actions  

Its an easier story to report. Yeah, Garvey is an douchebag, but the media has been reporting that Frank been an even bigger douchebag for the last two years. They’re not going to change it just because of Garvey’s douchebaginess.
