Is time running out on
2003-01-14 13:37
Is time running out on the careers of those five consecutive Rookies of the Year the Dodgers boasted in the 1990s? Eric Karros (1992) Mike Piazza (1993) Raul Mondesi (1994) Hideo Nomo (1995) Todd Hollandsworth (1996) WhoÕd have thought that Nomo would be in the best shape of the five? Piazza is still productive, but is definitely starting to slide. Hollandsworth continues to have his usefulness in small doses. Karros is tumbling from mediocrity to uselessness. And then thereÕs Raul Mondesi, making $13 million this year, and only 31 years old! He should be in his prime! In my life, only once have I bought a jersey replica T-shirt with a playerÕs name on the back. That player was Raul Mondesi. This guy had everything. He is as disappointing a player to me as I have had in my life as a baseball fan. Off to Snowmass for the long weekend. Dodger Thoughts will return Tuesday, January 21.
