Dotting i's and crossing t's
The big news from Sunday was the news that Andre Ethier will start the season as the everyday left fielder, it wasn't the only roster news:
- Chan Ho Park will start the year in AAA, but seems like a prime candidate for a promotion when the infield situation clears up and the Blue no longer need an extra glove.
- Tony Abreu will join Nomar, Andy LaRoche, and Jason Schmidt on the DL, to make room for Blake DeWitt and Angel Chavez, who will be that spare infielder for the time being.
- Jason Repko won't make the team out of camp. He was sent to AAA Vegas. Delwyn Young, out of options, will stick.
As for Sunday's game, it was a great final tune up for Hiroki Kuroda, who struck out six in four innings of scoreless work, and for Clayton Kershaw, who retired ten in a row at one point during his four scoreless frames.
Monday the real games begin... finally!

Nice job Torre - passing the first test by playing Ethier and sending Pierre to the bench. Juan will play, ,,there will be injuries and off days and pinch running. But Andre is the man of the future for left. Those who say Torre always goes with the vets are wrong this time.
