DODGERS RUMORS & GOSSIP

Los Angeles Dodgers look for the sign of the four

Zack Greinke’s return to the rotation is one major step towards the Dodgers turning the season around. The Dodgers $147 million man, Zack Greinke, returned to the rotation Wednesday night for the first time since April 11th and pitched well in the Dodgers 3...

A Matt Kemp Allen & Ginter Auto.

A quickie today on a recent pickup of the most excellent variety. Everything about this transaction and the card itself is great, and I couldn't be happier.Mattycakes! An on-card Allen & Ginter autograph of my favorite player for a relative bargain (under a blaster)? You know I jumped at that. It's a wonderful addition to my Bison PC, and marks Kemp John Hancock - of...

Greinke gets the win and RBI single

Before the game, two scouts were debating whether Dodgers right-hander Zack Greinke would risk swinging the bat in his return from a broken left collarbone. One expressed doubt, but the other, possessing a better working knowledge of Greinke, chuckled at the idea the pitcher would hold back. "He's got a bigger ego about hitting than he does about pitching," the scout...

Hyun-Jin Ryu plays catch with young fan in stands

Hyun-Jin Ryu enjoys interacting with fans. Even those in the stands. Ryu, who met fellow Korean Psy earlier in May and gave the pop star his Dodgers jersey, plays catch with a young fan, with the name Deuce on his jersey, for about five minutes at a recent Dodgers game. Deuce has a cannon. Ryu is pretty good, too. Set your cute set phasers to stun.

Scouting report: RHP Ross Stripling, Los Angeles Dodgers' prospect

After the first couple rounds of the MLB Draft, it’s pretty much a crapshoot. Sometimes there are gems found later in the draft: Matt Kemp (sixth round), Joc Pederson (11th round) and Matt Magill (31st round). So, when the Dodgers drafted Ross Stripling in the fifth round, not much was made of the selection. In his brief career, he’s proving to the team and...

Down On The Farm: Week Of April 22 & 29 – Van Slyke, Pederson, Rasmussen, Sweeney, Seager

There were some eye-popping performances in the Dodgers minor-league system the last couple weeks. I got to see three of the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes games in person, which was awesome. There are some guys below folks should keep eyes on this season. They could establish themselves as legitimate prospects with solid performances in 2013. —– Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes (4-2 and...

It's time: the Dodgers need to replace Brandon League with Kenley Jansen

OK, it might be time for the Dodgers to make a change. I'm not talking about firing Don Mattingly (yet), I'm talking about switching closers. I wasn't against the Brandon League signing, even when everyone else seemingly was. I've stated that on multiple occurrences. I've never said he's better than Kenley Jansen, just that I was for his signing. Now...
