The Other Side of the Dodgers/Red Sox Blockbuster Trade
March 13th, 2013 at 7:35 am 
by Ron Cervenka When the Dodgers made their blockbuster 9-player trade with the Boston Red Sox last August, their focus was on four-time All-Star first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, but in order to land him, the Dodgers had to absorb the enormous salaries of not just A-Gon, but also those of fellow four-time All-Star Carl Crawford, two-time World Series […]

Pitching options – and probably not the ones you’re thinking of
March 12th, 2013 at 6:45 am by Ron Cervenka I need to start off this blog article with a disclaimer: I absolutely hope and pray that the platelet-rich plasma injections that both Chad Billingsley and Zack Greinke received for their respective elbow ailments work; and that neither will require Tommy John surgery; and that both remain 100% healthy for the entire 2013 season and far […]

Tommy Davis – A Lot More than just a Dodger PR Guy
March 9th, 2013 at 6:35 am by Ron Cervenka Like most kids of my generation, I grew up playing street baseball (and I still have the scars on my knees and elbows to prove it).

March 8th, 2013 at 6:52 am by Ron Cervenka If you were to ask anyone who was at Camelback Ranch during the first two weeks of spring training which Dodger player was the most exciting to see, the answer would be simple – it would be Dodger legend and Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax, whose presence at Camelback Ranch as Special Adviser has changed […]

March 7th, 2013 at 6:52 am by Evan Bladh Mark Walter has been successful in virtually everything he has encountered in life and it isn’t by coincidence. He has been successful because of his tenacity to tackle things head on and his insatiable competitive drive to win. He is a man who gets what he wants and he hates to lose. In fact, losing is […]
