Kim & Espinal changes paying off, as Dodger rotation candidates, OF prospect quartet, and a pair of relief dark horses impress in games It’s been over a week or so of Spring Training games so far, and we’re just before the World Baseball Classic throws a bit of a curve into things for a bunch of Dodgers players, so as good a time as any to check in on who’s been standing out so far. ====== Let’s begin …

Kim & Espinal changes paying off, as Dodger rotation candidates, OF prospect quartet, and a pair of relief dark horses impress in games

"Can't be worse than Conforto."

He should be worried about ever getting a shot anywhere if this continues, much less the Opening Day roster for the Dodgers. bsky.app/profile/beer...

In case there was any doubt this is all about #DodgersBad salt from fans.

Not to pile on, but Ward has like the most at-bats in ST so far and is .105/.105/.158/.263 so far. Brutal.

James for the lead! #DodgersST

Dalton with his second homer of #DodgersST!

Bunch of stuff on the highlights of the games played thus far. Though perhaps most relevantly maybe Kim, Espinal, Wrobleski, and Hurt having a bit of an edge on making the team.

Somebody said Josue De Paula reminds them of James Loney and I haven't recovered yet.

The jewelry discourse is gonna look even sillier when Yamamoto shows up in the playoffs with diamond-encrusted cleats by Hermes.

You joke but I'm gonna get tweets like this if they aren't 10 games above .500 by the end of April.

Ryan Ward not exactly covering himself in glory so far in ST.

The risk would definitely be drinking too fast, passing out, and sleeping through the deadline.

Might be hubris, but this seems relatively easy? You can leisurely walk the 10 miles and then you have the rest of the day to eat and then pass out after pounding the beers.

His look is getting closer to those iced out memes every year. We're three years away from grills.

The Yamamoto stuff was definitely the most interesting, but the projections are always assuring, and seeing Brusdar torture influencers is cinema.

Blake Treinen demon slider back? Maybe?

As @joshthomas.bsky.social said, he has a weird gyro one. This might be two distinct pitches, honestly. dodgersdigest.com/2026/02/09/r...

If they're healthy, they're quite good, yeah.

All 19 pitches:

Hyeseong Kim with two singles, two stolen bases, and two nice plays in center as he looks much improved out there.

Also, four sinkers.

Main reason to not get too concerned over Roki is he threw 31% cutters, which he is not gonna do normally. That said, not an ideal start.

Here's all 11 cutters:

Not sure if Kendall George will be able to carve out a role in today's game, but he sure is fun.

Man, I would be so mad if I had hemorrhoid surgery and NY Post blasted it out to the world

Remembered that the WBC means Hope and De Paula probably gonna get a lot of PT. Also remembered it's gonna cost Kim at-bats due to not as many games, which is a bummer since he looks good.

I've been lazy on vids recently, but him and Josue De Paula have taken some great at-bats recently. Not just the result, but the swing decisions looked good.

Bases loaded and one out for Zyhir Hope, gets buried 0-2, fights back to 2-2 and drills an oppo double on a pitch up and away. Cool.
