After the game, Colletti decided the youth movement was working so well, he'd bring up another 21-year-old. Billingsley, the top pitching prospect in the organization, will start Thursday, bumping a stunned Perez to the bullpen and a sour 21-year-old Guzman farther than that, all the way back to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Re: Dodgers call up Chad Billingsley

Looks like he had a nice first start. 5 1/3 innings 2 ER 3 H 2 BB 3 K

He also had a single and 2 RBI's.

Not a bad first start at all, but I don't expect him to hang around too long.

he's most likely there to stay. they need a 5th starter badly, and as long as he's servicable, he's not going anywhere.

Why wouldn't he hang around? He is only the top pitching prospect in major league baseball. Lord knows he throw better than Odalis Perez is right now. I see no reason he can't stay in the Big Leagues long term.
