ESPN - Conversations: Everett a match for Dodgers?

Would he even be an upgrade over Berroa? I haven't watched a Twins game since 1991.

Defensively he is, Everett is an ace with the glove. But he is just as worthless with the stick. No real reason to make that move. Hu is just as good as Everett.

.500 for the first time since May 30th.

Woo?

I don't think anyone posted this...

Jones now officially the 4th OF. LA Times

Clayton Kershaw is no longer winless.

The 20-year-old prize of the Dodgers' farm system picked up his first major league win today, tossing six shutout innings at Dodger Stadium in a 2-0, sweep-sealing victory over the Washington Nationals

Kershaw's first victory landed on the same day that Dodgers Manager Joe Torre said Andruw Jones would be the team's fourth outfielder until further notice. Torre opted for a starting outfield of Juan Pierre in left, Matt Kemp in center and Andre Ethier in right.

Jones, who signed a two-year, $36-million contract in the winter, is hitting .166 with two home runs and 12 runs batted in. He has four hits and 31 strikeouts in 54 at-bats with runners in scoring position.

Chan Ho Park, Hong-Chih Kuo and Jonathan Broxton combined to pitch three scoreless innings for the Dodgers, with Broxton picking up his fourth save.

I didn't think it was possible to strike out 31 times in 54 at-bats.

Glad to see Torre has gotten some balls finally. Jones deserves to sit.

Pierre. LF
Kemp. CF
Martin. C
Kent. 2B
Loney. 1B
Blake. 3B
Ethier. RF
Berroa. SS
Kuroda. RHP

Unfortunately so does Pierre. Maybe a light will shine upon Torre and he'll play Blake in LF and LaRoche will be back up at third......

I blame The Natural for Ned Colletti!
