    I'm not counting on throwing him into the fire like that.

    There's no way you take somebody as shitty as Axford and turn him into an 8th inning guy in 2 months. Waste of a roster spot

    Agreed, his command/control was still very much a work in progress. Gonna have to be improved to be someone you can really trust in a late inning situation.

    No pitching additions, so far anyway...could be internal options are considered better than an outside get, as previous posted. Outside Axford. Kinda extreme meh. Idk.
    Maybe bats are front and center since it looks definitely like since the Manny thing, Kemp and Muncy have sucked. Bellinger continues the uber shitstorm, and JT can't stay on the field.
    Can't depend on Kershaw driving in all the RISP can we?

    He also has a penchant for folding when things get a bit more serious. He was a big part of the Rockies bullpen a couple years ago, then when they needed him most, he folded faster than Superman on laundry day.

    That’s the real important player moving in this trade. Getting Dozier is just an added bonus.

    I get that sentiment but we just traded for him who knows where he lands in the bully but he gets lefties out. He WAS a closer for the Brewers of all teams (144 saves) and a 4.4 WAR career (I honestly don't know why or if it's good).

    Key word Colorado where relievers traditionally go to die. Just saying. :D. Did Copping have a chance to be a major leaguer in your opinion? If that is a no then why not IF he performs

    RE: Devin Smeltzer:

    Featured over and over on Backstage Dodgers, 10y/o cancer kid had his life changed after meeting Chase Utley in Philly. Soon after, Chase announces his retirement and BOOM, he's gone!

    Thanks for the memories, kid! LOL!!

    I expect our bridge to Kenley will be Strip, Wood, and Alexander when it gets to that time. We have too many starters. Rotation for the rest of the year once Ryu gets back can be Kershaw, Hill, Maeda, Buehler, Ryu

    Doubt it, he wasn't even on MLB top 30 Dodger Pospects.
