14. Stone looks like he has a solid attitude and a good pitcher. I think Ryan looks like a potential superstar though. May looks destined to be a relief and relief only. Dustin doesn't have the focus and command or enough developed insight on location plus pitch mix . And probably off speed developments are needed . Change of speeds to upset hitter's timing and keep them guessing . Maybe a little hard drop curve could be added too. Maybe. But definitely May is another guy like Snell that needs to learn how or at least try to develop a pitch or two that induces ground balls sometimes to get an out or induce a double play to lower pitch counts. Especially in Snell's case. But May is too wild and lacks knowledge of how to pitch effectively. He has incredible enough movement on his hard stuff but it looks all the same to the hitters and that's why he gets jacked up for homers so consistently since before the surgery. It's like he has one velocity and his location mistakes with pitch types are right in the hitters wheelhouse far too often. He's not as bad as Grove though who has zero major league abilities. May will just make an occasional mistake per game after a few innings. Whenever Grove comes in though everyone knows the ball is going over te fence and you can time a stopwatch to it and bet on it !

15. Need that t shirt Kendrick lamar la dodgers Ws mash tuff not like us ima check the page but i live in Sweden Stockholm 😊🔥🥶

16. The Dodgers are deep enough there's no way I'd have Smith 'Freeman, or maybe even Ohtani in there until everybody is fully healed. They have Rushing and Fedduccia . Barnes has returned to his early career form and possibly improved in some ways. It isn't smart at all to play an offensively and defensively reduced Smith or your biggest offensive juggernaut Freeman at all while they're either on the mend or trying to fully heal. Not with the depth and early season contests . Starting pitching is deeper too. Deep enough to cover the expected reduction in offensive output this year. You signed Teo and he was a good bat in his career but his production could be due to evaporate or slowly start to decline immediately. It's hard to say . But he doesn't look like he's in as great shape as last year. Sort of like Brasier was when he was traded to LA. I just wouldn't play guys like Smith and Freeman under any circumstances this early in the year with ankle injuries or whatever. October baseball prep has to be the main consideration. It won't affect fan activity at all anyway. We also need to see alot of Rushing and develop him for the pressures of October baseball which remains a difficult beast every year. AND that means you have to develop your young beasts! It's Dalton's time to develop and show us if he has anything worth keeping regardless of the roster and injury situation. All these injuries open up oppurtunities to a GENERAL who operates in strategic and tactical situations. A few guys are down. Sure Freddie and Shohei are effective and look healthy and strong . And in shape which is great! But do you really want to put Freddie in there while he's nursing an ankle injury? Or Smith playing that tough catching position especially when it appears you have a refreshed Barnes as a sub ,with a younger Fedduccia and Rushing who can both rake efficiently and effectively probably given enough ample opportunity while you allow your Ace catcher to heal and rest his injury ? And that's the proper maneuver for the injury . If you've got your noggins on straight and thinking clearly enough . I just don't understand your logic routinely on a continuous annual basis usually. That the Dodgers organization could even seriously consider some of the things you do amaze me completely.
