In his 3 loses he pitched 19 innings, gave up 17 hits, 7 runs, 3 earned, walked 4, struck out 17, and gave up zero HR. Obviously, Ned isn’t in the loop when it comes to decision making, but I still expect Kemp to be gone by opening day. I wore out a lot of transistor radio batteries as I played the Dodger games under my pillow every night. There is no comparison for when it really matters. Kershaw # of seasons 200+IP -5 Toles did a good job leading off, before he got hurt, and he is a far faster runner. Koufax was indeed beautiful to watch. I grew up with Koufax and Drysdale.

He’s a helluva nice guy. I happen to be of the ilk that believes ALEX VERDUGO could be Tony Gwynn.

i hope you are right. The Giants add Austin Jackson for 2 years and $6 M plus incentives per MLB trade rumors. 7.

Keibert Ruiz

But by far, not even close, Sandy Koufax is the greatest pitcher I ever saw. 1. Koufax Winning % – 65.48% Cub." As I get older I can only hope that guys like Seager and Bellinger remain Dodgers for life.

Ruiz 7. Yes , like all hard throwers, he does not have the best control yet. Don’t get me started on him. They never sent him to the minors. Stieb won 140 games in the 1980s, the second-highest total in that decade, behind Jack Morris. Brinson will probably start in CF for the Marlins this year, and Diaz will probably start within the next couple.

AMEN.

I shot this photo of him warming up before a game against the New York Mets on July 23, 1966 at Dodger Stadium with my trusty Brownie Hawkeye camera. They’ve even won a few without Ball after being something like 0-9 without him. I love what Campanella said about baseball.

If you could pick any minor league player in the Dodgers Farm System who would be a difference-making player (All-Star Caliber Player), who would that be? However, WS participation and rings cannot negate greatness as a player. Kershaw Winning % – 69.23% It’s just that we have so many memories it’s often hard to find the right one. 9. That doesn’t happen anymore and that’s a whole another conversation. And the Dodgers would definitely been in the World Series that year. 1.

Yet another reason to trade Pederson. Condition is Brand New. It is violent, but not so much on his arm, as it is on his hips and back. Perhaps at ST? A couple of other interesting comparisons:

A lot of dominoes would have to fall first for Cain to happen.

1. Christian Yelich traded to #Brewers, sources tell The Athletic. i saw scott schebler in AAA and thought he’d never make it! We need a RH workhorse and he is better than that.

It looks like the Brewers want to be the top dog in the NL Central this year. I have to agree with you. 2. alleged character issues You can talk about Koufax pitching 300 plus innings and say that Kershaw doesn’t do that, and that would be true… BUT NOBODY DOES! He just needs to pitch. A sweet-swinging power-hitter, Ken Griffey Jr. was the face of the Kingdome and for the Seattle Mariners. Hoping Ryu can stay healthy. Koufax # of seasons 200+IP – 5 Boogie? Kershaw IP per season – 195.5 5. Koufax in 8 W S games won 4 and lost 3. Tom Seaver was the Mets franchise and led the turnaround from cellar-dwellers to World Champs in 1969. can’t wait to see it. Kershaw has sustained his excellence over a longer period and to me will be the GOAT (Dodgers) by the time he retires but I am not quite ready to put him there yet, for two reasons: He needs to take that final step and win championships and he needs to commit to the Dodgers to stay on for the long term. Verdugo will be our Left Fielder and bat Lead Off after the All Star break. Out of ST he will play LF and bat 7/8. He is 84 years old and is a Capricorn. It’s not the “end-all, be-all” but it is good for “something.”. Having said that, if the Dodgers have no intention of being in on Harper, then I would agree with Passan that it is foolish to not be in on someone like Darvish because they may go over the luxury cap by a few million dollars. Clayton has pitched 122 innings and his 1.098 WHIP in the playoffs tells you he has been incredibly UNLUCKY. 3.

I can still recall laying on my dining room floor listening to to his perfect game on my transistor radio and I still get goose bumps over Scully’s call of the last inning, just as I did then.

Puig of course looks like a linebacker out there.

I have a sneaking feeling about Darvish. Back then, the top pitchers routinely pitched 250 to 300 innings. Rose hit for a .307 average in 19 seasons with the Reds—no one can take that away from him.

Way before my time, but Newcombe will always be on my mind as well. I am 94.37% convinced about Verdugo and Buehler. – This conversation is beginning to take away some of the awe I have had for Alston. Think the club needs a shot in the arm before ST, and this would provide it.

The Dodgers will be in on Harper. And he can shoot FT’s.

We love watching these guys. High quality Sandy Koufax gifts and merchandise. He had opposing batters at his mercy.

It’s a good stat, but not the 1 stat the is all-telling like some think. You can look at stats and compare the two, but that does not tell the story. His legacy still stands tall and long—after all, Yankee Stadium was the House That Ruth Built.

It is hard to ignore 49 assists in 3 ½ years of pro ball. – Gilliam actually played in 7 WS as a Dodger (53, 55, 56, 59, 63, 65, 66). I fully expect him to be optioned to OKC. Hammerin' Hank ranks as one of the greatest of all time for the entire MLB. The issue isn’t the per game price.

Shipped with USPS First Class Package. If Verdugo does well enough to earn a starting job in the outfield that spot could just as well be in RF. It's close, but I am going to give the nod to Rafael Palmeiro over Iván Rodríguez or Adrian Beltre. World Series, game 7, two days rest, only his fastball working for him: Sandy shuts out the Twins.

There are too many outfielders right now, but things have a way of working themselves out. His dominance began the following season in 1962. http://www.pophistorydig.com/topics/tag/sandy-koufax-brooklyn-dodgers/. But so did Walker Buehler. For the record, I hope Kemp is gone too, but unless the Dodgers get a “significant” return for him, he will be there. Bob Feller, aka Rapid Robert, missed three seasons due to military service. Kershaw in the postseason is 7 and 7 with an era of 4.35 compared to his career regular season era of 2.36. I would love it if Randle could play center even though he is only 6′ 9″ and 250 lbs.

Seems like some of Sandy’s early struggles also had to do with opportunity. In my mind Clayton has a violent delivery. . Since I can’t attend 81 games, I resell the vast majority of these games. Verdugo’s slash line for his 1st 25 PA and 23 AB was .174/.240/.340/.544. Walker Buehler Sandy Koufax is a Capricorn and was born in The Year of the Pig Life. View Sandy Koufax's Page at the Baseball Hall of Fame (plaque, photos, videos). Both have been amazing pitchers, no matter how you slice it. At this point I think any trade that is made would be for salary relief that would go to Darvish. He pitched very well in the Carolina League last year (A+). His greatness really came out in his last two seasons. Allegedly, Koufax tipped his pitches and it didn’t matter – no one could hit them anyway. He had 3,358 of his 4,256 hits with Cincy. If anyone were ever to give a hometown discount it would be Puig.

At the end of his career, Kershaw will unquestionably be considered the greatest Dodger pitcher ever from a statistics point of view, and a certain HOF. 3.

Martinez might have to take a “meager” $100 to $125 million. He was a 24-time All-Star, 12-time Gold Glover and four-time NL home run leader. 2. bat to ball skills I also identify strongly with Hershiser as my favorite Dodger pitcher of all-time as his efforts in 1988 to will us to a title will never be surpassed for me.

I know we have financial constraints, but I’m sure we could trade away some of 18s wage bill to make it work for one season before some big salaries come off the books at the end of the season. Don’t let highlights of 2011 fool you.

If the Dodgers could get just $6-$8 million of Kemp’s contact paid each year, I think they would do it. The great outfielder was a 24-time All-Star, three-time World Series champ and three-time NL MVP.

If he does they will want to make a splash to appease the fan base. George Brett wins in a landslide. Yount was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999 in his first year of eligibility. 3.

He was a game-changer. His CF skills are outstanding. I wish you would quit with this puig trade.

Pete Rose, aka Charlie Hustle, was the heart and soul of the Cincinnati Reds. Kershaw will definitely have better career stats.

Helton averaged .316 over his career with Colorado. If they’re interested in bringing him back, whoever they attach to move Kemp is to sign a Darvish for 5 years. Todd Helton edges Larry Walker in a brutal, tough call. Kershaw then hoping Wood can repeat. 2020 Topps Tribute Jackie Robinson+Sandy Koufax Base. Alston reportedly resented having him on the roster and so didn’t let him pitch much until 1958. Clayton can dial it up at 97-98 MPH but he doesn’t, instead, operating in the 92 to 94 MPH range.

But I think Verdugo will start at AAA, with Toles and Kemp (if he’s still around) sharing LF, Taylor in RF, and Puig in RF.

He led the American League in batting average nine straight seasons. I don’t believe he’s going to get $40 million a year either. When the Pacers were forced to trade Paul George and did to OKC for Oladipo and Sabonis, the National Media crucified the Pacers for “giving him away.” Months later, no one in Indy would trade either one of those players for “team-killer, choke-artist, look at me” Paul George.

His fastball was overpowering – no one could hit it. Absolutely nothing! Hoping Hill beats father time and blister issues. They pitched in different times and asked to do different things. Advance scouting and analytics have changed everything. Seager–stud shortstop; most dangerous hitter on team; cost-controlled; puts the “Corey” in “Core” An eight-time All-Star, he was a World Series champ in 1948. Bellinger–arguably the team MVP as rookie in 2017; light-tower power; defense; speed; swagger

I don’t buy it.

Koufax K/9 IP – 9.28

That was his first really good season, when he was 18-13 with a 3.52 ERA. The Dodgers do not have comparable prospects to Brinson or Diaz. Kiké–yes, he belongs here; perfect super-utility man; high energy; quick bat; heart, (Forsythe is important but due to contract possibly replaceable; LF is wide open competition). I first became a Dodger fan at a young age following Koufax and Drysdale and they will always have a special place for me.
