But Benny A, the Dodgers never did have all their "pieces in place" after the Red Sox trade. Chad Billingsley, who had been pitching well, went down with an injury. Clayton Kershaw missed some starts and was fighting through a hip problem when he did pitch. Carl Crawford, who's scheduled to be in LF on opening day this season, was on the DL when the trade with Boston was made and never played an inning for LA. Matt Kemp, who turned out to need shoulder surgery after the season was over, obviously wasn't himself the final weeks of the season and struggled. Closer Kanley Jansen was out with his now surgically repaired heart problem. And lastly, a very important piece heading into 2013, Zach Greinke, didn't become a Dodger until the 2012 season ended.
