A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #114...BOYS in BLUE 3-6 Hitters could rival anything if they HIT....then there is 2013 with the addition of a Hopefully Healthy Carl CRAWFORD.

The Boys in Blue make a Huge Commitment and Gamble on the Newest Additions but the Real Tell Tale Sign will be in 2013 when OF Carl Crawford at some point coming off of Tommy John maybe ready...just maybe.

The Dodgers went from Three Stars in the Middle of the Lineup to a 4-Stars in the Middle with the addition of Adrian Gonzalez. Now the Line Up from an Opposing Pitchers Point of View has completely changed on how to attack the Dodgers. For instance Today's Line Up Card vs the Marlins in Chavez Ravine...take note of 3-6 and Averages:

Dodgers Line Up Card vs Marlins August 26, 2012

1. Victorino LF
2. Punto 2B

3. Kemp CF  .338 17 HR 54 RBI
4. A-Gon 1B .300 15 HR 86 RBI (Red Sox 2012)
5. Ramirez H. SS .296 6 HR 31 RBI
6. Ethier RF .291 14 HR 74 RBI

7. Cruz 3B
8. Treanor C
9. Harang RHP

The Numbers in the Middle of that Dodgers Line up is menacing but can Hanley and A-Gon keep up the pace as Kemp and Ethier will continue to hit.

The Other Big Take in the Trade was Carl Crawford and if he can comeback from Tommy John Surgery and be the Player he once was for the Rays. The Dodgers are hoping C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me) hasn't taken any effect but from the looks of things you can't say it hasn't.
