RIP

Dodgers had some real good young aces come up in 80's

Valenzuela
Hershiser
Welch
Martinez (Ramon)

Could have continued if the organization hadn't botched its assessment of Pedro Martinez in early nineties

From Lasorda believing he couldn't be a starter in MLB and use him in pen to GM Fred Claire making that disastrous decision to trade him to Montreal for 2B Delino Deshields
