BP Chats

Date	Question	Answer
2011-04-07 13:00:00	Wouldn't Jerry Sands at RF, Trayvon Robinson at LF and Andre Ethier at 1B be a drastic improvement for the Dodgers? (Scott from Irvine)	Robinson has more than a year at Double-A under his belt, so he's got that over Sands. The problem is that the projections don't exactly paint either as above-average contributors at key offensive positions, so expecting both to break in at the major league level and succeed right now is a tall, tall order. And that's without considering how little experience at first base Ethier has. (Jay Jaffe)
2010-09-13 13:00:00	Please fill in the blank. This is the best NL Rookie Class since ________ (blank). Thanks! Bobby (Bobby from New York)	Are we going strictly by league? Because the 2007 class had Ryan Braun, Troy Tulowitzki, Dustin Pedroia and Josh Hamilton among hitters, Tim Lincecum and Joakim Soria among pitchers. 2006 had Hanley Ramirez, Ryan Zimmerman, Andre Ethier, Prince Fielder, Ian Kinsler, Francisco Liriano, Justin Verlander, Jered Weaver, Josh Johnson, Matt Cain, Cole Hamels, Jonathan Papelbon (who used to not suck), Jonathan Broxton (ditto)... There's a lot to be excited about with this year's rookie class (Posey, Heyward, Santana, Stanton) but I'm in no rush to appoint them the best class of the past five years until I see much more. (Jay Jaffe)
2009-10-13 14:00:00	do you have any idea how the BP monte carlo report has the phillies winning the NLCS almost 2/3 of the time? that seems extremely strange. (amr2002 from philly)	I expect the quality of Lee and Happ (and Hamels) compares rather well to the Dodgers' comparative mere adequacy in the rotation makes a big difference. It might also involve the effective deletion of Andre Ethier for the series as a result of not getting to see many right-handed pitching. That's just WAG, of course. (Christina Kahrl)
2009-05-04 14:00:00	How would Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier fit into your analysis of outfielders to take over Markakis? Do either of make it, they would at least be in the conversation wouldn't they? (ssjames from Orange, CA)	Ethier, no, as he's too old without the upside. I considered Kemp, though. He'd be in the discussion. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-10-09 14:00:00	Are they disappearing into the Andre Ethier? (tiptonhr from Knoxville)	I knew that one was going to show up. (Jay Jaffe)
2008-09-23 13:30:00	Hi Joe, thanks for the chat. If you had a vote, would Manny Ramirez crack your top 10 for the NL MVP? (jtrichey from Indianapolis)	Without looking, I'll say "no." There are so many players having strong seasons in the NL that I can't see Ramirez, with negative defensive value, beating out 10 of them in full-season value. I mean, wouldn't you have to put Andre Ethier--who's matched Ramirez's performance at the plate since the trade, runs circles around him defensively and was there all year--ahead of Ramirez? (Joe Sheehan)
2008-03-31 13:00:00	Are you surprised that the Dodgers were able to make the right move and start Andre Ethier over Juan Pierre? (dblatnik from Sunnyvale, CA)	A little bit, because Joe Torre is a sucker for the "traditional" leadoff man that Pierre represents. That said, he can be a faithless master, and Ethier will be on a short leash. (Steven Goldman)
2008-03-06 13:00:00	Can you address the Dodgers situation? Re-signing Nomar? Bringing in Andruw Jones to push Kemp even farther down the depth chart? Where does Delwyn Young play (if in the majors)? How about Hu? It seems like they have a MLB-ready prospect pushing up at every position. (Peter from Staten Island)	Hey Pete! You're right in that the Dodger system is loaded. GM Ned Colletti seems to have a knack for finding a veteran stiff to throw in the way of every near-ready prospect. That said, the Dodgers didn't hesitate to push Nomar off 1B when James Loney got hot for them last year, and it's clear they now think of Kemp as a RF rather than a CF. It's Andre Ethier who's likely feeling the biggest pinch in the outfield right now. As for Delwyn Young, that's a good question. He was moved off 2B because he wasn't considered an adequate defender (-14 FRAA at Double-A in 2005), and while he may help there in a pinch, long term he's going to need an outfield spot. I don't think that will happen for him in LA barring a slew of injuries; the best he can hope for is that as a switch-hitter he becomes a staple of the team's bench. (Jay Jaffe)
2008-02-04 13:00:00	I am Joe Torre. You are Juan Pierre. Make a case for playing everyday over Andre Ethier. (raygu1 from nj)	I can't. It's not that Pierre can't be a valuable player, but not every day in left field. But you know that, and I think Ned Colletti does too. (David Laurila)

2010-07-13 16:30:00	All-Star Game	And that's the end of the Andre Ethier era in center field. Kind of cool to see Hong-Chih Kuo here. Not that having a setup man on an All-Star roster isn't a stretch, but given all the arm troubles he's overcome and how dominant he can be when he's healthy, I'm happy to see anything good come his way. (Jay Jaffe)
2010-07-13 16:30:00	All-Star Game	And first-time center fielder Andre Ethier playing in center because of it. (Marc Normandin)
2009-10-16 13:00:00	NLCS Game Two/ALCS Game One	How the hell can an every day player (Andre Ethier) be a good luck charm? (Kevin Goldstein)
2009-10-15 17:00:00	2009 NLCS Game One (Phillies/Dodgers)	Comparing Andre Ethier to Paul O'Neill: I don't think O'Neill ever hit as badly against lefties as Ethier did this year: .194/.283/.345. Not that Paul was exactly great against them... .248/.312/.387. (Steven Goldman)
