Something's Afoot
James Loney and Wilson Betemit are both in the Dodgers starting lineup today, which means a roster move has to be made. Again, Little says he's waiting for the Bat Phone to ring, but it could simply be a matter of designating someone on the current roster (Ledee? Cruz?).
As for the DL, the only likely candidate would be Nomar, but again Little said they think he'll be ready to play Tuesday in Cincinnati, or failing that, on Wednesday. One thing looks fairly certain — today's transaction won't include Bobby Abreu.
More to come in the full pregame report.

I always thought that Ledee would be cut before Cruz because of Cuz's ability to play all 3 OF positions and better health.
But recent developments have me thinking that they favor Ledee. So I'll go out on a limb and say Cruz gets designated for assignment.
They could be trying to take one last look at Loney before deciding whether of not they move him before the trading deadline. That would require DL'ing Nomar, but they might be willing to roll the dice if they can trade Loney (in a package) for an infielder. Am I nuts? Proably, but I love hot-stove drama!!! HAHA!!
