In 2007, Jake Peavy was rewarded with his first Cy Young award as a 19 time game winner, while pitching most of his games in pitcher friendly Petco Park. His progression from one of the best best power pitching prospects in baseball, to one of the best pitchers in all of baseball seemed to have [...]

In an interesting move, another former L.A. Dodger is now property of the Tampa Bay Rays. Except this time Ned Colletti was not involved. The Rays already had one former Dodger prospect Joel Guzman in the infield mix, now they have Will Aybar who can play both 2B and 3B. At one time, Aybar was [...]

A few weeks ago, I had noted that Dodgers Stadium in 2006 had become more of a pitcher neutral ballpark, and had not behaved like a pitchers park that it has been known to be. In fact, it was ranked the #10 hitters ballpark. I was advised that one year does not make a trend, [...]
