Lots of good stuff from the Dodger blogosphere (even while the team is 12 games out with virtually no shot of the playoffs). Here are some of my favorites from the past week:
The Signing of Zach Lee
I’ve got to give credit to Ned Colletti and team for this one. A GREAT signing and a real feather in the cap of Assistant GM Logan White. Here’s a nice recap of Lee’s potential (as well as the other draft signings) from Tony Jackson. The Dodgers really did a nice job (and spent quite a bit of money for once) in getting this done. A potential 2012 lineup of Billingsley, Kershaw and Lee is pretty damn exciting.
There’s also a great video on the Dodger Media Network showing that Zach Lee was Logan White’s great white whale of the draft. It’s a well done piece, and a nice look behind the scenes.
Criticizing Kemp
Steve Dilbeck wrote an interesting column today about fans’ perceptions about the performance of Matt Kemp and how any writer who criticizes Kemp is immediately jumped on by rabid fans. I don’t remember this happening when Chad Billingsley stumbled down the stretch last season.
