Great Lakes Loons – Year In Review
January 24th, 2014 at 6:00 am by Harold Uhlman The Great Lakes Loons are the Dodgers Low Single-A affiliate in the Midwest League. The team moved to Midland, Michigan in 2007 after completing the 2006 season at the historic Dodgertown complex in Vero Beach, Florida.

January 23rd, 2014 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka We’ve been hearing it since Day-1 of the Guggenheim Dodgers and especially this past season – the Dodgers want to get younger.

Does Masahiro Tanaka deserve a Greinke-like contract?
January 21st, 2014 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka A little over a year ago at his introductory press conference, former Cy Young Award winner Zack Greinke was asked by the Dodger media what it was like being the (then) highest paid pitcher in MLB history.

Dodgers Digest makes debut – well, sort of
January 20th, 2014 at 12:11 pm by Ron Cervenka This past off-season has been a rather unusual one for Dodger bloggers. It saw the passing of several long-time sites and the introduction of several new ones – most notably Dodgers Insider, the brainchild of veteran Dodger Thoughts blogger and the Dodgers new Director of Digital and Print Content Jon Weisman.
