The Dodgers either see something very special in former No. 1 prospect Dalton Rushing, or they're waiting for a deal that's worth shipping him off.
Dodgers fans suspect the latter. It was easy to root for him when they called him up in May, but his first 53 games in the majors turned out to be a dud. No one's saying that Rushing is washed or overhyped after less than a third of a season in the bigs, but it's clear that irregular playing time wasn't great for his game.
The problem: as much as they insist otherwise, the Dodgers still don't know how to give him more.
