The Dodgers seem to be stuck in the middle. They are just over .500. They are still in 2nd place in the NL West, but they cannot seem to make a move. Of course Joe Torre managed a Yankee team last year who was in last place around this time of year, and ended up making the playoffs. Luckily the Dodgers despite so many flaws are only 3.5 games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers hitting is extremely inconsistent. They are trying to mix veterans with really young guys. Their young guys seem to be developing well and Matt Kemp, James Loney, and Russell Martin look like future stars.
