Will Broxton Stabilize?

[StringerBell]

In the last 14 Days:

*7.36 ERA

*1.77 WHP

*1 Blown Save and 3 Losses

I`m gettin` a little

As Stringer himself would say: Broxton is pitching "Like a 40 Degree Day"

PS: As for LAD closer options: Is it just my imagination or does Kuo seem not as dominant when the game is on the line

[ACME Destruct-O-Ball]

Anybody else heard the rumor that Kuo is hurting? He keeps insisting he's fine physically, but he's getting smacked around a little bit recently, and he's already had four shoulder surgeries. Can he last the rest of the season?

[BitterDodgerFan]

the bright side is both kuo and park have been just as bad so i don't think he'll lose the closer job.

[IronBird]

Kuo's era, whip and K's per inning have been so sick all year, when I was short a closer a month ago, I started him where holds don't count. Just his last two outings has he blownup. I heard early in the year they were talking about him being a regular starter but they liked him coming out of the pen too much. I think the Dodgers want to keep him in middle relief. I don't see him being a regular closer for them. Does anyone know when/if Saito is coming back?

[ACME Destruct-O-Ball]

Saito's throwing off level ground right now; best case scenario (as far as what I've heard) is a September return, but probably in non-closing situations at first.

[StringerBell]

Broxton looked great last night, striking out Ianetta,Baker and Tulowitzki to get the save.
Hopefully he can string a few of these type outings together. I have Brox cheap for 2009. I really want him to clagrab the closing gig by the huevos.

Everyone is going to have a few rough outtings.

I have been watching all the Dodger games recently and it seems like the bullpen is being used a lot more/more consecutive days then before. This is probably due to Wade and Saito being injured.

When they can actually get a couple days rest they will be good to go again.

Also with Kuo, I hope he isnt hurting. He has had a handful of shoulder surgeries and like 2 Tommy John surgeries.

..............Just when you think its safe to get back in the water........More BS

Weekly linupe league and I really didnt want to play Broxton but decided at the last min to play him. Going into last night I was 13.5 points behind the 1st place guy and in comes Broxton for the Save. Now I'm thinkin all I need is 1 inning, 2 k's and the save and I get the win and I'm tied for 1st. We get 2 points for each inning, 1 point for each K and 10 points for the save.

And what does Brox do.

1 inning, 2 hits, 1 er, 1 walk, 1 k and a blown save.

So to answer your question

NO!!!!!

I think the price on Broxton will continue to plummet and owners will be looking to move their investments into similiar commodities like Jensen Lewis and Luis Ayala.
