James Loney, Longest Tenured Dodger
by Eric Stephen on Jan 23, 2012 7:00 AM PST
in Los Angeles Dodgers Roster
Email
PrintWith the departures of Hong-Chih Kuo (the left-hander hasn't signed anywhere else yet, but as of now he is no longer a member of the Dodgers) and Jonathan Broxton, the Dodgers have lost the players who have been with the organization the longest and were with the team the longest, respectively.
Kuo signed with the Dodgers way back on June 19, 1999 as an amateur free agent out of Taiwan, while Broxton made his major league debut on July 29, 2005. The new dean of the Dodgers is James Loney, who was drafted in the first round in 2002, and signed on June 11, nine days before international signee Ramon Troncoso. Loney also has the earliest Dodgers debut among players currently on the 40-man roster, making his major league debut on April 4, 2006. Andre Ethier has been with the major league club the longest continuously, staying put since his major league debut on May 2, 2006.
Here is the list of longest-tenured Dodgers, sorted by the date each player signed with the organization:

So today is the official beginning of the end for Frank, right? I wonder if we at least get a confirmation of the number of bidders at some point over the next couple of days.
Is it Fielder time yet for the Dodgers?
Buyers are gonna want big names on the club if they are gonna pay over 1 billion. Kemp, Kershaw, Fielder sounds pretty big to me.
BTW…if McCourt keeps the parking lot I ain’t parking in it!
"rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength"...Eric Hoffer
Me neither. There is too much parking outside the stadium for me to pay $15 to not have to walk half a mile.
Question:
Would adding Fielder have a bigger impact on today’s club then adding Manny to the 08’ club?
"They will never ketchup to all of the energy that I've mustard"
Baseball-wise, I don’t think any aquisition will ever have as much impact as Manny had.
PR wise, that’d be a nice boost.

I couldn’t BELIEVE how high DeAndre Jordan got up yesterday. Incredible. I’m trying to figure out why the media likes Blake so much more than Jordan, since DeAndre seems to be similarly exciting. Maybe it’s because while they both whine, DeAndre is more obvious about it.
Oh, and good thing Evans didn’t break Mo’s hand. Sheesh.
A bit of hype when they started too. Funny, this article regarding longest tenured Dodgers got me thinking about longest tenured Clippers. Now that Kaman (and Gordon) are gone, Jordan is the longest tenured Clipper. He was a second round pick who was TERRIBLE his first two years in the league who improved to passable then onto sneaky productive. Deandre is playing great right now and he had a monster game yesterday in limited minutes (due to the blowout.)
by Michael White on Jan 23, 2012 8:18 AM PST up reply actions
Baseball-wise, upgrading from James Loney to Prince Fielder is similar to Pierre/Manny, except this time we get a whole season worth.
PR wise, I’m not sure anyone will be as big of a hit as quickly as Manny Ramirez was in LA, but it’d still presumably be a boost. Not so much because OH MY GOD IT’S PRINCE FIELDER, but rather “Hey, maybe the team is ready to compete again, I’ll come back to the stadium now”
Plus, it’d be an interesting Prince Fielder/Prince Albert LA Duel for the next 8 years.
I plunked Prince in the ribs in highschool. We played his team a ton that summer, but he owned me that one game. I hit him out of frustration and he took a few steps to the mound. It’s tough trying to stand tall when someone much taller looks to be on the verge of charging. He took his bag so no harm no foul, but I could not for the life of me get him out that day.

I immediately regretted the decision at the time, once I witnessed his reaction. I played with a huge chip on my shoulder, which was a gift and a curse. I let frustrations get the best of me that day, and almost paid a very heavy price for it. There aren’t many brawls in travel ball….but it was a close call that day.
I faced Prince many, many times during highschool. I have struck him out more than once, but he hit me far more times than I was able to get him out. As far as High School players are concerned he was by far the toughest out that I ever faced.

I think there is a misunderstanding that I’d throw at someone just to throw at them. I’m not an angry pitcher, but I am righteous.
Gary has 5mph on my fastball…..his would hurt more
"They will never ketchup to all of the energy that I've mustard"
How short are you? Prince is like 5’10".
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
I’m 5’9"….his 1 inch seemed like a foot. He probably weighed over 225 at the time. I was only 160lbs soaking wet.
"They will never ketchup to all of the energy that I've mustard"
I mean, I’m taller than Prince and I wouldn’t want to see him even glaring at me with ill intent, much less charging me. Kudos to you for both plunking him and not wetting yourself.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
I didn’t wet myself, even though I wanted to. I had a lot of respect for him in High School. The kid was starting on Varsity as a 12 year old. I usually tipped my cap to him whenever he shelled me which was more times than not. That day I was livid because I was shutting down everyone on his team but him. My anger got the best of me and I threw inside/waist high. I wasn’t feeling as tough as I let on. It would’ve been a very humbling experience if he exposed my blank stare as being phony. Luckily he didn’t.
"They will never ketchup to all of the energy that I've mustard"
It’s common place for a batter to have an attitude when you plunk them. I was a hot head and would usually yell back if they didn’t take their base right away. With him, I didn’t say anything though….the catcher couldn’t have thrown the ball back any quicker in my opinion.
"They will never ketchup to all of the energy that I've mustard"
PR wise I’d say Prince since Season Ticket holders are about to make their decision this week and I’d think a Prince signing would easily change the equation to yes if they are on the bubble. Also single ticket sales will be going up soon, and that would be a boon for that.
Was the town crazy excited before Manny showed up and decided he was going to give his all for the Dodgers? Obviously the town went crazy after Manny went crazy but if you told me the town was as Manny crazy on the day the deal was announced as they would be if we swept in at the last minute and picked up Prince I’m not sure I could agree.
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
I think that’s one reason Fielder won’t sign soon. If it looks fairly certain who the Dodgers buyer might be in a few weeks, they might tell McCourt to go ahead and try to sign him. I think this has Boras’ hope all along.
Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.
I don’t think the Dodgers are players at all for Fielder. The Nationals and Rangers (at least) are legitimately involved. Besides, the longest tenured Dodger has that position filled.
Any speculation why Fielder hasn’t signed yet? My guess is the Boras hope for the Dodgers getting into play. You would think by now the Nationals and Rangers would have made offers.
Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.
They might have made offers that Boras simply finds unattractive for a Client who he told him was going to get the moon.
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
To much Dodger / Prince chatter to completely ignore. It is not just coming from wild eyed posters anymore.
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Yep, conventional wisdom says the Dodgers are not in it. However, it can’t be completely dismissed since Prince is still available at this very late date. In fact there is a good bit of logic that says the Dodgers may in fact be in on him.
I’d like to hear this good bit of logic

I know what you guys are doing…. doin that reverse psychology…The more you say it wont happen, the more likely it will happen….
But at the award thing over the weekend, why would so many baseball executives, or atleast more then 1, think Dodgers end up with Fielder, or making a play for Fielder, or whatever…. wouldnt they know more then us? Wouldnt they know Dodgers have no money and its impossible? So why would they say it then, or think it?
“Baseball executives” is a group of people to which Ned Colletti and and Dayton Moore and Ed Wade belong. They are not unanimously intelligent folks.

MLB Radio was discussing that Boras is likely to speak with whatever serious bidders emerge to ask if he should include them in the conversation. Sort of like, “Should I wait for you or just sign with the Rangers already?”
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
With Kemp signing it is just a matter of time before he takes this mantle. HOF player who plays his whole productive career with one team. Suck it Jeter.

The list
Of potential new owners that Shaikin wrote about in today’s LA Times doesn’t impress me. Right now, I think I would vote for the Kasten, Magic or Gilbert group, if on,y because I think they would be filled with a number of small partners with capital and less likely to be burdened with debt.

Essentially blind, my preference would be 1) Gilbert and 2) Kasten. The Caruso group intrigues me, but I’d need to learn more. Everyone else just looks like a bag of cash, even if there’s a smiley face associated with it.

With this longest-tenured Dodger business, I remember wistfully the days when Bill Russell was often referred to as the “Dean of the Dodgers.” I think Topps even listed him as such one year.
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
Why would anyone even wistfully wish for the days of Bill Russell as the longest tenured Dodger. Bill Russel is the James Loney of his day.
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Because he’s better than Repko. Also, because I like having longest-tenured Dodgers that are actually long-tenured.

He probably will, because a lot of sportswriters are stupid.
BUT he might not because he was the best hitting catcher in all of baseball his entire career.
Being an offensive catcher is less commonplace than a offensive 1B……that and Piazza was a DODGER!

You’re right, but Piazza’s case (“best hitting catcher of all time”) can be summed up in way less words than Bagwells (“arguably the greatest inactive NL first baseman once you adjust for park”) so it should be easier.
Then again at least one person has already said Piazza doesn’t feel like a first ballot kinda guy so he’s probably doomed between that and having muscles.

In the New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract, James rates Bagwell as the #4 first baseman of all time, behind only Gehrig, Foxx, and McGwire.
The commentary on Bagwell in that rating reads as follows:
“Pass.”
It seems that nobody gives a fuck about Jeff Bagwell, which is too bad, because he was great.

MLBNetwork is doing
Baseball IQ which premieres Jan 24th:
The rivalry between the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies is on display in the premiere episode of MLB Network’s first-ever game show, Baseball IQ, tomorrow, Tuesday, January 24 at 9:00 p.m. ET, immediately followed by a matchup between the Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays participants at 9:30 p.m. ET. Hosted by Matt Vasgersian, MLB Network’s Baseball IQ is a recall-based trivia show featuring two participants, 30 minutes and a chance to win up to $45,000 for charity. Questions cover all things baseball, from current players and managers to World Series champions, MVPs, Cy Young Award winners,
MLB Network surveyed all 30 Clubs, MLB.com and the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum for the best and brightest trivia minds in their organizations to represent them, and thirty-two participants will be matched up in a bracket-style tournament across 31 episodes. Two new episodes will air every Tuesday through Thursday at 9:00 p.m. ET from January 24 through February 23, leading up to the start of Spring Training.
.
Baseball IQ features participants including front office personnel, equipment managers, scoreboard operators and museum curators. Future first round episodes will include participants matched up in a bracket opposite their clubs’ rivals, pitting the St. Louis Cardinals against the Chicago Cubs, the Boston Red Sox against the New York Yankees, the Los Angeles Dodgers against the San Francisco Giants, and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim against the Texas Rangers. The winning player of each episode will win $5,000 for the organization’s charity they represent. The championship episode will award $25,000 for the winner’s organization’s charity and $15,000 to the runner-up’s organization’s charity.
Sample Questions:
Test Your “Baseball IQ”: * Name the four pitchers to start an All Star Game for both leagues. * Name the last 10 Opening Day starting second basemen for the Atlanta Braves. * Name the 12 players to hit at least 40 home runs in a season in the 1980’s. Hall of Famers, milestones and more.
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
the sample questions are not IQ but baseball fact memory
Baseball IQ is:
Who covers third on a bunt down the 3rd base line with two on and nobody out?
Where should the 2B be playing, with runners on the corner, with one out, in a tie game? Where should SS, 3B, and 1B be playing?
by Hollywood Joe on Jan 23, 2012 11:50 AM PST up reply actions
IQ does not measure pure intellect under any circumstances. Taking an IQ test requires a certain understanding of “widely-accepted” (callback) social norms, so “intelligence” requires “knowledge.”
"It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. The hard... is what makes it great."
of course
my questions refer to those norms – you have to have knowledge of what a 3rd baseman is and that positions responsibilities before you can answer
my snarky point, is that baseball IQ should be about how to play the game, rather than purely obscure facts about those that did play

Undefeated. If they lose one, they’ll drop out of the top-25.
They are 3-0 against the RIP top-50 — but other than those three games, haven’t played anyone in the top-100 RPI according to CBS Sports.
watched about 10 minutes of their game saturday
they do not look “great” a lot of athletic guys, can play some D but something was missing to impress me completely.
Crazy, Spurs retiring Bruce Bowen’s number 12…. He’s hit some big shots but didnt think that gets your jersey retired… I wonder if Lakers will retire Fisher’s number.
No
they have an established policy of retiring numbers of HOF players who aside from Wilt Chamberlain, played the majority of the careers with the Lakers. Shaq and Kobe (which one 8 or 24) will be the next two players to get their jersey retired.

With only 12 guys (I think it’s 12) on a NBA roster they have a long way to go before they have to worry about running out of double digit numbers.
Who cares? at one point each of those players gave the Spur fans about a decade of good work and they want to reward them for it.
As was noted last week n ot every franchise has had a super star playing from them every year of their existence. The Lakers and Celtics are quite unique in what they have built, no reason for other teams to hold themselves to the same HOF standards.

Me too Grimjack!!!! How are we solving our QB dilemma now that Barkley is going back to USC? Flynn or do we trade up to nab RG3?
"They will never ketchup to all of the energy that I've mustard"
No on the trade. Wewe have many holes to fill and I think that we can trade down in the first and fill those needs. I can see the front office taking an OT in the first and if that is the case we can trade down and get later round picks as well. If we find no dance partners for a trade we still end up with a damn good OT and the possibilty of the kid out of A&M or OSU or Huston in the second or later. With Philbin coming on board I can see us taking on and developing a late round QB. Another QB that has not been mentioned is Jed Hoyer, who is up for free agency. I like him better than I do Flynn.

Sickels has his farm system rankings up and the Dodgers are 22nd, which sucks, but isn’t all that shocking.
What does strike me is that there’s just not that much upside anywhere. Outside of the super prospects Harper, Trout and Profar it seems like there’s less talent out there than I can remember. Hell the Padres have the number two ranked system and their top prospect is a 25 year old who spent two and a half years in AAA. There’s been a lot of talk about how the CBA would drain talent from baseball, but if you look around it’s already started and it looks like it might only get worse.
