They could try Billingsley,but he is pretty much a mental lightweight( his stuff is good enough.) Billingsley,and Broxton both have real nice stuff,but both want to hide under the table when guys get on base.If these two ever grow a set,this team could be pretty tough.

I'll never forget Billingsley walking behind the mound,and somebody stealing home without a throw! Hendrickson started off well but has returned to last years' self. I was listening to radio and one of the guys says that Mike Easler is under consideration to replace Murray. Easler was hitting coach for D-AA and TripleA last year, when all the younger guys progressed so well. Could be interesting....

LOL,Scully torched Kevin Malone(for telling Scioscia he had no future in the organization.) That was pretty cool.

Yeah,I use to care about it,but now I almost would rather they get the days off.Penny wasn't much after pitching in it last year.We could of atleast won one playoff game with him healthy.

Good news Scuds
 
The Dodgers made what looked like a questionable pick at the time by taking Mattingly in the supplemental part of last year’s first round, but after an impressive showing in the Gulf Coast League last summer, as decisions go, it seemed sound. The spitting image of his father Don (plus three inches and 20 pounds), Mattingly got off to a horrible start in his pro debut, sitting at just .192/.241/.273 in mid-May. Drafted as a shortstop, but given no shot by scouts to stay there, the organization felt that Mattingly’s defensive struggles--including an incredibly awful .773 fielding percentage--were affecting him at the plate. They moved him over to second base, and not only has Mattingly made just four errors since moving to the other side of the bag, but he’s hit .349/.379/.578 since the move, now sitting at a respectable .265/.300/.400 and rising. Even at second base he’s fringy with the glove, and most see him as a left fielder in the end, but the bat is back.

Good news,Cannon! Thanks for the info! I have a subscription to Baseball Digest coming soon, and that will help to keep track of the youngsters.

Chuck much as I love you dearly as trainer.....Their is only one Don Mattingly!!!

Either with that sweet swing or bad ass glove the man was probably the most complete player I saw as a kid. His son may hit some by osmosis but his father could probably go 3-5 against some of the inferior arms that pass for major league pitching these days.....and this is a life long, long suffering Red Sox fan talking.

He was money for a few years in the late 80's
