Happy Sunday, everyone! Another week down. One week closer to October! Unfortunately, the Dodgers are no longer undefeated. Though, 9-2 ain’t that bad.
With another week in the books, it’s time to open the mailbag! As always, feel free to ask any/all of your Dodgers questions. I’ll be answering all of them in an article for Monday afternoon.
I’m sure there’s a lot on everyone’s mind after a crazy week!
So how many more weeks and screwups will the Dodgers give Andy Pages before sending him down to AAA (or AA)?
It seems to me that if we bring up Kim, we can put Edmans in Center and have a huge upgrade in defense and base running skills. Any average at all over .120 will be a bonus.
Hope is 20, Depaula is 19. Both are in High-A. Neither is an answer for another 2 years or so. Pages is not a CF, but he has a track record of at least hitting lefties. Plus, he's only 24. I can envision an outfield of Pages/Depaula/Hope in a few years. But that's if they all continue to develop. And don't get traded to fix other issues. The only real options to fix CF are playing Edman there, which means a Kim/Kike platoon at 2B. Kike can play CF as needed. Outman is still not hitting at AAA, after a bad spring. But at least he would play a better CF. No one is making major trades a week into the season. Ultimately, what do you think the answer will be? And when do we see it?
