They were making money hand over fist. McCourt has been setting up all sorts of shady deals so he could siphon money from the Dodgers into his own pockets. Cripes, even their charitable matters have come under scrutiny. Since it's becoming clear Jamie McCourt is going to end up co-owner of the team, Frank McCourt has been taking every step he can to make her ownership worthless. I'm guessing MLB had to step in simply because McCourt was on a mission to destroy the team.

Yet we're tied for first. I don't want to get irrationally hopeful that this team could compete if Wells and Cashner come back healthy and effective.

Considering we have an image of Dempster in a dumpster, can we have a picture of Schlitter in a toilet?

Just wait until the Cubs draft Jackie Bradley, George Springer, or Mikie Mahtook.

Oof. He now has a excuse for his drop in velocity and stuff. So, let's say he has rotator cuff surgery, is making a good recovery, and drops to the Cubs' second round pick. Should they take him?

Mediocre, but interesting to watch because of guys like Castro. I could see this team finishing the year somewhere around the .500 mark if Wells and Cashner come back soon and stay healthy.

Ah. I don't know where to find college stats so all I had to look at was his minor league stats on B-R. Thanks for the info. The Baseball Cube has college stats.

Someone with more knowledge of the minors than me - is Brett Jackson actually major league ready? Depends on which facet of his game you're talking about. He's a good defender in CF and has enough speed to cause trouble on the base paths. In those respects, he's ready. As for his bat...hard to tell. He's handling AA about as well as can be expected, but I'd like to see how he looks against pitchers with more advanced offspeed stuff in AAA before seeing him in the majors. He probably could play in the majors now, but he'd have a lot of growing pains along the way. Just looking at his MiLB stats, has his walk rate been better than expected? He's got a .099 IsoD in the minors and I seem to remember (which could be wrong) when he was drafted that people weren't impressed with his walk rate in college. His walks were fine in college; most people were worried about whether his high strikeout rate would translate into problems when he faced more advanced pitchers. He's still prone to strikeouts, but it's not nearly the problem it once was.

Starlin Castro takes offense to those of you who suggest he will not be as good as Tulo or Hanley.

Apparently I need to. Does anyone have the MILB TV package? If so, have they been streaming any of the Tennessee games? They mostly stream AAA games, from what I can tell.

.467/.564/.700 is a fantastic line.
