    So why exactlywould someone own him on their fantasy team?

      In a keeper league, he has a lot of value.

      edit: Plus, he could get on a roll come September and win 4 or 5 games down the stretch. It's nice to get a little boost at crunch time.

        Not if he's tying up a bench spot until then.

          It eliminates that daily lineup conundrum thing.

            Urias has maxed out at 90 IP. The bullpen makes sense.
            Don't forget Wainwright and (going back, a bit), Roy Oswalt.

            Oh yeah...more recently, Carlos Martinez.

              He was a very well regarded prospect who'd chronically underperformed up until last year when he broke out in a pretty big way. That breakout seems to have carried on to this year, at least so far. I don't think he'll get a full season's worth of ABs but I'm sure the Dodgers want to see him ease into the steady 4th OF role with an eye on his post-Ethier outfield role.
              Thompson may not be in a platoon with Joc, but Joc does not play vs. LHPs and Trayce does not play vs. RHPs.

                Expect changes within the Dodgers rotation --- I'd guess Stripling and Wood will both lose their jobs and get sent down unless they perform really well in the next several weeks.
                Alex Wood's K% has skyrocketed over his last 4 starts; somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 K/9. I can't see them replacing him now.

                  Wonder if the Dodgers will play Thompson more. He has been productive so far hitting 2 HRs last night. So far in 72 ABs he has 6 HR 17 RBI. Ave .292 OBP .228 SLG 611 OPS 949. I think he has outhit Crawford, Kendrick and Hernandez combined.

                    and Puig, who has been dreadful.

You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

                      They'll probably give him more starts to ride out the hot streak but I fear his weaknesses would be exposed with more at-bats. Ethier should be back in a few weeks which will further muddy the waters but if they give him more starts and he keeps raking then things will get interesting.

                        That may be true but his last 194 AB to last season he has hit 11 HR with a .294 BA. He is hitting lefty equally as well as right. His minor league stats do not support his BA but since he is hitting well why not go with him more often since he has out-performed everybody else playing OF.

                            That is freaking insane.

                              That is a 22.00 SO/BB rate.

                              The best SO/BB ratio in mlb history, for a full season (>=100 IP) was Candy Cummings's 20.50 in 1875. A season where he pitched 416 innings and had 82 strikeouts (leading the league) and just 4 BB. Obviously a different era, since 82 K's led the league.

                              Since 1875, the best ratio has been Phil Hughes's 2014 where he struck out 186 and walked just 16, giving him a 11.63 SO/W rate.

                              Kershaw is sitting at almost double that.

                              Insane is right...

                                fangraphs just did a writeup of the four walks. a couple were pretty questionable. of course, I'm sure some of the strike calls he gets are also.

                                Reviewing Clayton Kershaw’s Four Walks
                                http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/reviewing-clayton-kershaws-four-walks/
                                Here’s a thing: last year, Clayton Kershaw was tied for baseball’s fifth-lowest walk rate by a starting pitcher, out of 78 pitchers. Then, this year, only one guy (Mike Fiers) has dropped his walk…
                                In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.
