Quick Notes

It's now clear why the Dodgers passed on CC Sabathia, Derek Lowe and AJ Burnett. They've got Ramon Troncoso! Ken Gurnick reports that the Dodgers might opt to keep James McDonald in the bullpen and groom Troncoso for a starting spot this season. With the signings of Mota, Estes, and Vargas the Dodgers are clearly just trying to get lucky. Kinda makes you wonder who they're going to find next?

Gurnick also reports that Jonathan Broxton, Russell Martin, Andre Ethier, and Jason Repko filled for arbitration. The end of the article notes that the "Dodgers are 14-6 in cases decided with a hearing and haven't lost one since 2001." That's Kim Ng working hard for the McCourts. Personally, I hope Ethier gets the payday he deserves.

Martin needs a raise to support his Steel Panther addiction.
