Buy ‘The Catch: A novel’
What happens when three old friends in crisis fall into an unexpected love triangle? In The Catch, Maya, Henry and Daniel embark upon an emotional journey that forces them to confront unresolved pain, present-day traumas and powerful desires, leading them to question the very meaning of love and fulfillment. The Catch tells a tale of ordinary people seeking the extraordinary – or, if that’s asking too much, some damn peace of mind.

How does the C position stack up?
…
I believe Treanor is a FA….
AJ Ellis as starter with FedEx spelling him?
…
Do the Dodgers have any top tier C prospects anywhere in their farm system?

Funny thing I read this week ….
Brandon Belt’s comments from the Giants Fan Fest ….
…
When asked about the 123% payroll increase of the Dodgers, relative to the Giants, the young man (who was called a “slugger” in the article) said, in essence, that ‘ You can’t buy chemistry ‘ ….
…
I have just one word for Mr. Belt …..
“Agreed….”
Anonymous
Well, B*nds managed to buy chemistry, from BALCO of course.

So a guy who hits six HRs in 472 ABs is a slugger?
Anonymous
Yeah, with those power numbers, maybe Mr. Belt should consider buying some chemistry.
Anonymous
He probably did already did it to achieve those power numbers.
foul tip
Maybe it was a typo and writer meant “sluggo”

Yeah… I was puzzled at the “slugger” reference as well, at least based on his stats.
That’s why I included it in my comment.

The Giants roster that won in 2012 was much different from the one that won in 2010.

Indeed. Only two position players from 2010 were on the 2012 team: Posey and Panda (who didn’t play full time down the stretch).
The Giants chemistry is in their pitching staff. The starters get all the ink, but the bullpen (three lefties!) had each other’s backs late in important games.

That’s a great point….
…
Also, it was just the Giants year….
I remember telling my wife that they were going to win it for sure when I saw this…

…
Also, no Marco Scutaro heroics in 2010.
…
So, I guess you could say that, either……
1. The organization was blessed with two teams that just put it all together in 2 of 3 seasons…
-or-
2. Bruce Boche’s evolution as a manager has gotten him to a point that he really knows how to get a team to play together.
…
Which, although I like Donny Ballgame, would beg the question…..
Why didn’t the Dodgers’ try to buy Bruce Boche this off season? … :-)

It actually doesn’t beg the question. Just raises it.

I enjoyed seeing the first NPUT in such a long time.

NPUT! Icing on the cake!

I think besides the question of Hanley playing SS and Luis hitting consistantly our bench is the only thing that needs shoring up.
Also loved the NPUT ^_^

One of those surplus starters should bring back a usable bench piece.

Yes yes yes, PACR and two posts from Jon. It’s a good day.

Bench seemed more important in yesteryears, when those ahead of them were not so much ahead of them.
Anonymous
Yeah, but over 162 games you need a bench, especially with players in their thirties, and you never know about injuries – nobody expected Kemp to hurt himself as he did last year.
Anonymous
Natch. My thought was beyond rest and injuries.

Still can’t fathom Uribe, but you never know. No way Gordon doesn’t end up in New Mexico unless he is a starter in LA.

For Uribe, every day is Fat Tuesday.
