If we get Cespedes, there isn't really anywhere for AJax. Maybe left instead of Young.

Thought the same thing when I saw that. Even if the Tigers get Cespedas, Jackson will be the opening day starter, imo.

Predicted Starting Lineup 2012​

​

Starting Lineup​

1. SS Dee Gordon​

2. 2B Mark Ellis​

3. CF Matt Kemp​

4. RF Andre Ethier​

5. 1B James Loney (Prince Fielder would be nice)​

​

Starting Rotation​

1. Clayton Kershaw​

2. Chad Billingsley​

3. Ted Lilly​

4. Aaron Harang​

5. Chris Capuano​

​

Someone who I will be looking out for this offseason and going into spring training is RHP Zach Lee. He's a promising talent who was playing Single A ball last season. With Ruby de la Rosa going down to Tommy John, we're already thin with starters he might get the call, but he could use another year in the minors.​

​

The Dodgers don't look that good on paper next year to be honest. The loss of Hiroki Kuroda really hurt the rotation. However, if Kershaw does what he should and continues to dominate, Billingsley can play well for two halves of the season, Lilly puts in solid work, and Harang and Capuano keep the ball inside the park, they could suprise.​

​

I am excited with the emergence of Dee Gordon who is our short stop of the future. The speedy infielder should steal a lot of bases next season. Mark Ellis was an OK signing, but we should have kept Jamie Carrol because he's more of a utility guy. Uribe I hope has a bounce back year cause last season he really sucked. Jerry Sands is a young player and needs improve his strike out numbers. James Loney played horrible the first half of the season but started to turn things around the second half, I hope that trend continues. Ethier needs to bounce back to his form from two years ago. He was hurting near the end of the season, hopefully he comes back healthy. Kemp is Kemp and should be great.​

​

​

OH and almost forgot. We should be getting a new owner, hopefully it's:​

​

​

​

I think tiny Gwynn is getting the start over sands, we just resigned him to a two year contract

no shit. I was so pissed that we picked up Cap. Harang isn't terrible but our staff has always been our weakness.

We shall see. I like Sands bat better and the Dodger lineup needs every bat they can get.

Just looking at this Dodgers lineup pisses me off. I don't think I will be getting the Baseball package this season. Effin ownership bites us in the ass. We can't sign anyone because McCourt wants as little as possible on the books to make the team more attractive to buy.

I know, we didn't tender so many FA's and all of our vets rejected options. December has been a month of minor league purchasing.....just rediculous.
