In most years, a sub-500 record of 50-52 would indicate that the Dodgers would be sellers not buyers come the trading deadline. However, the N.L. West has become far and away the worst division in baseball, as the Dodgers remain just one game out of first place. Seeking to win the division and ... 26Jul2008 |

Record: 46-49, 2nd place
The Good: So far this year, the Dodgers have had a ridiculous slew of injuries at almost every position but have been able to remain in the playoff hunt as a result of playing in baseball's worst division, the N.L. West. While management has ... 16Jul2008 |

Because of his great work ethic, Dodgers outfielder Juan Pierre (pictured) is one of my favorite baseball players. However, the Dodgers center fielder's starting spot could be in jeopardy this season.
When the Dodgers begin spring training next month they will have four everyday-caliber outfielders, Pierre, Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp, and the newly acquired ... 19Jan2008 |

Record: 49-40, 2nd place
