Trading Places

I think all the Dodgers do any more is trade one starter for another on the Disabled List. Matt Kemp comes off the DL and A.J. Ellis goes on; Clayton Kershaw goes on and Josh Beckett comes off. It is not a good pattern to have and the trades are pretty unfair. I don't even think Ned Colletti would make most of these deals. Well, with the exception of A.J. Ellis for Matt Kemp. I think anyone would make that deal. The Dodgers are off to a 6-3 start but the big bats, with the exception of Matt Kemp's two homers the other night, have not really come alive yet. Dee Gordon is off to the best start of his short but uninspired career and even hit a homerun last night. The Dodgers middle relief has been lights out while their closers have been lit up but I can't complain too much with a 6-3 record. I am just glad baseball is back.
