April Roundup

Expectations are high and the Dodgers started off strong by finishing on a 5 game win streak for a record of 17-8. We have a 3.5 game lead over the Braves. Only 6.5 games separate first and last. LA has the second best record in MLB behind the Blue Jays, whose record stands at 18-6.

Dwight Evans won NL batter of the month for April. He batted .310 and leads the NL with 8 home runs and 21 RBI's.

The team is only hitting .245, good for 5^th in the NL, but they lead in OBP. The Dodgers are first in runs scored, homeruns, and walks. As far as pitching goes, we are 3^rd in ERA and tied for 2^nd in runs allowed. Defensively, the team is 6^th in efficiency. The improvements on defense have been obvious in the games.

Remarkably, the team can't seem to struggle at home where their record is only 9-8, but they are an undefeated 8-0 on the road.

The front office made a couple of roster moves to start the new month. First, and in a bit of a shocker, Mike Marshall (.250/4/18) is optioned to AAA. Franklin Stubbs (.370/4/13 in Albuquerque) is recalled to take his place. George Foster is going to take over in left for Marshall and Stubbs, along with Ruppert Jones will backup all three outfield positions.

Second, Buck Martinez (0-11 in 4 games) was designated and placed on waivers. He's likely to be released. Taking his place is prospect Scotti Madison (.310/2/12 in AAA).

Last is some confidence in Dennis Eckersley. He was only on a 1 year deal, but was just signed to a 2-year extension. Year 2, or 1986, will be his option, so it really only keeps him for an additional year.
