Dodger Thoughts: Lambo Draws First Blood
For those who haven't heard, Andrew Lambo has moved to the top of the Baseball America Dodger prospect list. In 2008, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound 20-year-old outfielder from Newbury Park followed an .807 OPS for Class A Great Lakes by going 14 for 26 with three homers for Jacksonville.

Dodger Thoughts: Farewell, John Updike
John Updike, the author of Rabbit, Run, which I have long considered my favorite novel, died today.


Dodger Thoughts: Graphic Blandishment
Brian Cartwright ran a study on catcher basestealing prevention for Fangraphs. "The task is to seperate the catcher's ability to throw out base stealers from that of the pitchers they are teamed with," Cartwright wrote. Among his findings


Dodger Thoughts: Dodger Blogs Ready for 2009
Something that has become acutely apparent is how deep the Dodger blogosphere has become and how high the standards are. It's not just me and old stalwarts like 6-4-2 and Dodger Blues. (Yes, we're the aging veterans on the roster.)
