The Rundown: Hoyer Following Krause’s Path to Mediocrity, Brown Could Join Rotation, Fans Prefer Cactus League Over Grapefruit League

I participated in my fantasy baseball draft yesterday evening while watching the Dodgers-Angels game, and I had what my ex used to call a “lightbulb moment.” Let me quickly unpack my epiphany for you.

  • The Dodgers beat the Angels 7-1 in a game started by Jackson Ferris, who pitched 3.2 unremarkable innings with four strikeouts. He gave up a solo home run to Taylor Ward, but otherwise looked big-league-ready. Los Angeles has a stacked rotation so good that Clayton Kershaw is probably a back-end starter, which means Ferris will get more seasoning in the minors.
