His first career grand slam. Puig is absolutely unbelieveable.
He owns a .438/.438/.1.063 triple slash with 3 home runs, 9 RBIs in four games -- and that even includes an 0-for-4 performance on Wednesday night.
Holy. God.
Oh, and Zack Greinke had his best performance as a Dodger: 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 7 K.

In other news, the Dodgers drafted a future reliever in the second round tonight with their selection at No. 56: Left-handed pitcher Tom Windle. I'm not at all convinced he'll be anything but a reliever, even if the Dodgers view him as a starter.
From Logan White, via Ken Gurnick:
Scouting VP Logan White said picks Chris Anderson and Tom Windle will be starters and not fast-tracked to LA like reliever Paco Rodriguez.and

White said because of their workload this year, Anderson and Windle will be limited to 50 more innings each this summer.

I'm already coming around on Chris Anderson a little bit, but it's going to take a lot longer for that with Windle. We'll see what happens, but I'm pretty sure the team just used the 56th overall pick on a reliever.

Windle has three legit pitches with above-average potential, what makes you believe he's a reliever longterm? Concerns over his arm slot and delivery? I think the Dodgers will change his delivery up this offseason, and that the warm weather is going to do wonders to his fastball.
