2011 Dodgers Spreadsheet Project

[A lot of time and effort went into this. There is an absolute ton of great information in this document. Nice work by DodgerBlue8188. -Eric]

This is the completed version of my 2011 excel scrapbook of the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. You can find my final 2010 version here 2010 Dodgers Excel Scrapbook. For comparison my 2010 version had about 25 worksheets while my 2011 version has about 125 worksheets. My goal was to not only present regular data but also data that could give people interesting stats that you can't find as easily on baseball web sites.

You can download my 2011 Dodgers Spreadsheet here. It's about 6.5 MB.

Statistical Features:

  • Daily results for each level of the Dodgers organization.
  • Statistics for the Dodgers.
  • Monthly comparison statistics including the leaders at certain categories for each month.
  • Comparison among each division.
  • Comparison among each team.
  • Comparison among day/night-1st half/2nd half-home/away
  • Records versus each team

Player profiles/Prospect Watch

  • Kershaw, Kemp, Billingsley
  • Minor league player profiles
  • Webster, Miller, De La Rosa, Gould, Lee, Martin, Withrow, Gordon, Sands

Team review

  • This is set up for each minor league level. It is a snap shot of the prospects statistics as well as the team's records versus each team the play.

Star-divide

History

  • A collection of minor league teams, all stars, opening day lineups, records, playoff records, awards, leaders.
  • Previous seasons-information from my 2010 version that could be of some use for quick reference. i.e. Draft results.

Front office directory/Transactions

  • List of Dodger employees.
  • Transactions at the major league level.

Feel free to download to your computer and take some time browsing around. You're likely to miss some pages so pay attention to all the hyper links. Most likely if something is underlined it is a hyper link.

Hope you enjoy!

I forgot who asked about salary arbitration in the last few days

But the last time the Dodgers went to a hearing and lost was in 2001. Relief pitcher Terry Adams had a 3.52 ERA in 84 innings in 2000, and sought a raise from his $1.4 million salary. Adams asked for $2.6 million, the Dodgers offered $1.95 million, and Adams won.

Since 2000, the Dodgers have only participated in 3 arbitration hearings:

Adams (2002), L (final year before free agency for Adams)
Gagne (2004), W (Gagne asked for $8 million in his first year of arb, got $5 million)
Beimel (2007), W (asked for $1.25 million, got $912,500)

One of the things I happened to read either this weekend or last week noted that in 2013 the regular season will go back to ending on a Sunday, in part to give time for the extra wild card playoff. This season, like 2011, will end on a Wednesday.

I miss The Sporting News. BEFORE they decided to cover all sports. I also loved The National. They hired the best sportswriters in the country, and had everything about baseball. They offerred Jim Murray $1 M/year, but he turned them down. Somewhere, I read the whole story of the National, from the start-up to the last day. Very, very interesting.

I am sufficiently worried, per our conversation last Sunday. 18-17 looking more and more likely.

7 of next 8 on the road. They have beaten Minnesota 15 straight times, including 7 straight in Minneapolis, but the T-Wolves are playing better right now.

Tough tests ahead for both teams with the Grammy trips. Clippers play 8 of next 10 on road, including tonight in Denver, where they have lost 9 straight. Clippers only 2 home games in their next 10 happen to be against the teams with the best two records in the Western Conference (OKC & Denver).

by Eric Stephen on Jan 29, 2012 11:45 AM PST up reply actions  

Yeah, by the time both road trips are down, both teams could be ranked 9 and 10 but at least one will be playoff eligible. They will both need to make up some ground in March.

And league rates.

Peripherals on their own aren’t the be-all-end-all.

Greinke is one of the few pitchers that tries to lower his FIP. He will avoid walking batters whenever possible, which would explain why his peripherals are all below his ERA on his career as he might be more likely to groove a 3-0 pitch, etc.

That's true

Though his HR/FB% almost doubled his career average this year, I’m not sure that will hold, though it should be higher in Milwaukee.

Context context context. Until we can totally isolate a pitcher from his defense there won’t be one true pitching stat so we need lots of them.

ERA+ has its place and if Greinke massively underpitches his peripherals again this year you should at least consider it.

Well answer this if you will:

Do you think Greinke is a league average pitcher the last 2 years?

Also, aren't you a fan of Sierra?

His 2011 Sierra is 2.66.
His tERA is 3.54.

It’s worth noting. His tERA being so high means people were crushing the ball more often than his FIP would indicate.

Greinke isn’t league average by any means but massively under pitching your perhiperals two years in a row is a warning sign.

The “best owner in baseball” who saw his co-best player walk away without a real effort to keep him and his other co-best player get raked over the coals in the press with little more than the expected nominal show of support. But he took Z to a titty bar once, so he’s the best!

They had to choose between keeping Braun or keeping Fielder. They chose Braun. After making that choice Braun decided to make the team look bad by going out and getting busted for using PED’s. I don’t fault Attanasio for either of those decisions.

by VegasBlues on Jan 29, 2012 3:38 PM PST up reply actions  

yeah pretty much

its hard to afford two guys like Fielder and Braun at the same time.

Jeff Nelson on xm MLB radio talking about concerns about Kuroda’s make-up pitching in NY. Says he may not be able to handle it. “Much easier pitching on west cost then east coast”, blah blah blah.

The fans at the Pro Bowl don’t seem too happy right now. The lack of effort being shown on the field is probably the worst I’ve seen.

As I’m typing this Fitzgerald puts in some good effort to score a TD. At least someone showed up.

by Joey Joe on Jan 29, 2012 5:31 PM PST reply actions  

His 24 points (10-13 shooting) and 13 rebounds say otherwise. He’s working his ass off and doing everything he can to try and carry that team. The rest of that team just really sucks. In 2 of their last 4 losses only 1 guy made more than 2 shots (Redick was 3 for 5 in one of the games).

Hell of a home coming for old man Billups tonight.

Was not very aware his high school past until tonight. Kind of cool the best high school basketball player in the history of Colorado stayed home.

Did not think he still had a game like that still in him.

Lakers did a nice job regrouping after blowing the 18 point lead. Rubio sure be fun to watch

Simers article on Ethier

link

But first, Ethier will have to overcome Ethier and his relentless insecurity. He began last season telling the media he might be released, and finished saying the team was making him play even though he said he was injured.

When challenged by management, he changed his whine. But his teammates wrote him off as being selfish, many turning away from him.
