Would ya'll say Dodgers are better this year than they were last year?
rik:
^ It's still early in the season, but I say yes. Our pitching improved we have more depth. We have a good, solid bullpen. And like I said before, we can manufacture runs. I don't care how we score them as long as we do.

It all depends on how much better the young guys get, and later on in the season how many other of our top young players get called up. As of right now, our offense is worse than last year but our pitching is better.
Remember these names, any of these players can become a break out star and really take the Dodgers to consistent World Series contenders...
- Chad Billingsley Starting Pitcher
- Russell Martin Catcher
- Matt Kemp Outfielder
- Andre Ethier Outfielder
- Andy La Roche Outfielder
- Scott Elbert Starting Pitcher
- Clayton Kershaw
I really feel that once we get into the 2008 season and beyond, we're going to be a true powerhouse.
rik:
^ You don't think we can contend right now? I sure as hell do. IMO Russel Martin is for real, Ethier still needs to prove himself but I believe that he'll be a solid player, and I think Matt Kemp is going to be a very good power hitter for us.
I thought La Roche was a third basemen.
Javier:
Nah we can but we'll be the same as every other NL team, if we do make it far it will be because the NL sucks so bad. Basically luck, I'm expecting a power house team...100+ wins every year with these young guys. Yeah mental mistake on the La Roche comment lol, he is playing OF though. Ethier and Kemp can be good this year, but what I'm expecting from Kemp is super star status. Up there with David Wright, Miguel Cabrera, etc. If we end up developing these players that good, we will be a 100+ dominating team, no doubt about it. I'm tired of seeing the Dodgers being the richest team in the NL West, and they struggle to get into the playoffs. These times should be over with our farm system and money.
