Dodgers 28-13 with rookies and has-beens. When it's good, it's really good.

Say what you want; they're 14-7 outside the NL West.

I'll treasure this while I can.

1. Who are the "has-beens"?

Wright and Abreu?

A good season so far, and they have a good young team. If they can avoid the injuries, they can win the west. Once in the playoffs, anything can happen.

2. and Kennedy, Treanor...

3. Treanor (no offense to his wife) was never more than a career backup

and with only 9 games played, hasn't been a key contributor. Kennedy is past his prime, but is playing no better or worse this year than the last two years. You can make the argument for Kennedy as a has-been, but Treanor is a "never-was".

Mostly, Kemp and Ethier have been awesome until just recently and A.J. Ellis has been great so far too. Kershaw's been great as has Lilly, and the other pitchers have been solid as well. Hell, Guerra lost his job as closer with numbers good enough to be the Red Sox top reliever. When I guy can't keep his closers job with an ERA under 4, you know your staff is pretty good.
