It was a matter of time before LA's vaunted pitching staff started to break down. Dreifort is having knee surgery.

Has Dreifort ever been healthy for an entire season? Dodgers have really taken a bath on that contract.
I think his name was Kevin Malone.Originally posted by AzKarl
Someone should have the guy's ass who signed this clown to a $55 million deal. According to Jim Rhome he averages 4-5 starts per year and has had 3 knee surgeries including this one and 2 elbow ligament surgeries. Makes Stottlemyre look like Lou Gehrig.

However, there's an excellent chance that their pitching staff will suffer a cascade failure effect where innings pile up on each starter more & more. For example, Odalis Perez never threw as many IP as he did as last year, and his high-stress pitch counts are piling up in close games due to the low-wattage LA offense.
