Juan Uribe is outhitting Matt Kemp. Luis Cruz has a -37 OPS+. Nick Punto leads the team in on-base percentage. This is causing concern in Dodger-land. And it's also causing speculation that manager Don Mattingly might not be around for a long time.

Luis Cruz is the best third baseman in the National League West
McCovey Chronicles — As a man of modest means, I didn't have much to donate to the Alex Lewis Scholarship auction. All I had was this here website. I have an apartment here on the website. Well, it's a cot above the garage, but it stays warm enough. Can't complain. As such, the only thing I could offer up in memory of Alex was something related to the website. I auctioned off three chances to pick the topic of a story at McCovey Chronicles. Seemed easy enough. Except, as you can tell by the title of this article, it appears there was a catch.
