I have seen several different articles on the internet saying that it is not time to hit the panic button yet when it comes to the Dodgers offense. It is still early in the season and the Dodgers are 5-4 but my hand is poised right over the panic button.
This is a different Dodgers team. They are more aggressive on the basepaths (Kemp is 6-6 in stolen bases) but they are still not hitting with runners in scoring position and they are still not hitting for power. Maybe Don Mattingly hasn't put his stamp on the team yet but this is the same pattern they followed last season. That is why I am near the panic button.
I do not think a trade of any of the Dodgers core players (Kemp, Ethier, or Loney) would help the situation any. What worries me is what Gm Ned Colletti would trade them for. They are not exactly running over with talent at the minor league level, either.
