So those two are poised to have monster years on a team that's going nowhere.

I don't think the team is as horrible as some are making it. Even with all of the injuries, we are still playing better ball than I expected, with one glaring weakness right now - our bullpen. We'd easily have another five wins under our belt and probably be in first place if we had a healthy Kuo and Padilla and if, for the love of God, someone could figure out how to fix Broxton between the ears.

Still, even with all of the ownership turmoil and such, we're only 3 1/2 games out of first and we've had a grueling schedule against some pretty tough teams. And considering who we are getting ready to play, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Dodgers put together a pretty good win/loss record in the weeks to come.
