The Dodgers’ Problem? There Are Few Answers but Several Questions
Why does Fred Claire only trade for players who are moody, uncooperative and gimpy?
Why does Tommy Lasorda always give up on a younger player the moment he encounters a slump?
Why do Dodger castoffs like John Franco, Dave Stewart, Rick Sutcliffe, Greg Brock, etc., blossom once they leave the Dodger organization?
Why don’t the Dodgers look to the future and play Tracy Woodson, Chris Gwynn and Jose Gonzalez, instead of past stars who are on the downside of their careers?
Why did the Dodgers give up a first-rate pitcher like Tim Leary for another left fielder, forcing sore-legged, weak-armed Kirk Gibson to center field, where he is a defensive liability?
Why are the Dodgers fast becoming baseball’s version of the L.A. Clippers?
