LA Dodgers have a rocky Spring!!
May 1, 2010,
Spring training was not kind to the Dodgers as we developed several key injuries which helped lead us to an April we would like to forget. On March 23rd Rafael Furcal went down with a torn quad and is out for 5 to 6-weeks. March 27th Matt Kemp went down for 3 to 4-weeks with an oblique strain. On March 28th Juan Pierre went down for 6-weeks with a strained medical collateral ligament. We then got Matt Kemp back for 33 at bats when he went down again with a strained rib cage muscle and is not out for 4-weeks. So March and April have not been kind to the Dodgers.
HOT PLAYERS FOR APRIL
Manny Ramirez .327/.403/.703 7-HR/15-RBI
James Loney .385/.437/.462 10-RBI
Russell Martin .368/.478/.614 3-HR/5-Doubles/11-RBI
Andre Ethier .349/.517/.674 3-HR/5-Doubles/15-RBI
Jonathan Broxton 5+inn/ 0.00 era/3-Hits/0-Runs
Matt Harrison 2-0 but 4.24 era
NOT-SO HOT PLAYERS FOR APRIL
Blake DeWitt .197/.258/.230 0-HR/0-Doubles/6-RBI
Matt Kemp .182/.250/.303 1-HR/1-Double/0-RBI
Xavier Paul .194/.265/.258 0-HR/0-RBI
Chad Billingsley 5.79 era/2-2/23inn/28-hits/16-runs
Hiroki Kuroda 5.09 era/1-2/17inn/24-hits/10-runs
Randy Wolf 0-2/12.60 era/10-inn/14-hits/14-runs
Milestones......On April 30th, 2010, Manny Ramirez got his 2500 hit!!!!
Because of the injuries we had to call up several Triple-A players plus we also signed OF-Endy Chavez as he was a low cost outfielder that can help as he signed for $400,000. We are off to a rocky start with the pitching but Manny is helping out early when we need him too.
