    2053 LA Dodgers

    Decided this team deserves a thread with the way they've started. It's going to feel like a different team without Grant and Irvin but I needed another starting pitcher DESPERATELY.

    Lineup:
    1 SS #3 Alan Trammell
    2 LF #33 Larry Doby
    3 1b #32 Dick "Richie" Allen, Leftfield
    4 CF #64 Earl "Rock" Averill, Centerfield
    5 2b #3 Dale "The Murph" Murphy
    6 RF #10 Rusty "LeGrand Orange" Staub
    7 3b #69 Bertram Grover Weeks
    8 CA #56 Patricia Smith

    Hopefully I can get Murphy (at least) signed to an extension and then largely my lineup is untouched unless I chose to make a splash. Doby I know has moved from 2 to 6 and now back to 2. Both spots he has simply produced and I don't have my usual #2 type hitter and he's probably closest to it that I've got.

    Bench
    1 #96 Billy Goodman
    2 #47 Michael "Dangerous" Metzler
    3 #0 Willie Mays Hayes
    4 #4 Danny Rodriguez
    5 #88 Albert "Dr. Focus" Salas

    I love my bench from the top 3. Goodman is a glove that can play almost anywhere, Metzler is one of my favorite "pinch hitters" off the bench. Hayes is a speed demon who could be given another chance as an every day guy if someone goes down to an injury. Rodriguez is the backup catcher and Salas draws a walk but could easily be replaced as he only plays 1 position (1b).

    Rotation:
    1 #82 Ricky Jones
    2 #2 Jose "Black Diamond" Mendez
    3 #61 Robert Ellis
    4 #23 Edward Botella

    Mendez bridges the gap between Jones and Ellis, I am hopefully with a trio of Jones, Mendez, and Ellis will be competitive with other teams playoff rotations.

    Bullpen:
    1 #8 Deshawn Russell
    2 #29 Nickolas Coon
    3 #21 Martin Saleem
    4 #51 Moshe Landers
    5 #66 Jimmy Forbes
    6 #80 Boris Alonso
    7 #39 Bob "Rapid Robert" Feller

    Russell is closer right now, but if he isn't careful I could very easily swap him and Coon (especially if Coon continues to show signs he's made the turn as a reliever). Saleem's return to LA has been a resounding success.

    Re: 2053 LA Dodgers

    Really disappointed in my offense from the trade deadline on...

    The offense's rating on 7/31
    Batting AVG: .288 (6th)
    Homeruns: 107 (9th)
    Walks: 353 (6th)
    Stolen Bases: 80 (11th)
    Runs Scored: 627 (5th)

    Offensive ratings on 9/8

    Batting AVG: .286 (7th)
    Homeruns: 137 (10th)
    Walks: 463 (7th)
    Stolen Bases: 96 (14th)
    Runs Scored: 787 (10th)

    This is where the team really struggled and I hoped that Staub/Murphy would at least maintain the status quo left by Irvin and Grant going to NY.
