Dodger fans might want to keep an eye on Jose De Leon
November 26th, 2014 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka It doesn’t happen often, but every now and then it does – a late-round draft pick immediately finds success once they begin their professional career and moves up quickly on the organization’s depth chart.

There will be no Seager Brothers duo on left side of Dodgers infield
November 25th, 2014 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka Okay, I admit it – the mere thought of having brothers Kyle and Corey Seager becoming the Dodgers everyday third baseman and shortstop within the next year or two was extremely exciting to me.

The Buck stops here
November 22nd, 2014 at 12:44 pm by Ron Cervenka The only thing worse than being a good minor league baseball player and not making it to the big leagues is being a good minor league baseball player and not making it to the big leagues in seven years.
