Meanwhile, in the outfield

The season starts tomorrow, and there are still a few issues for Joe Torre and Co. to work out (over the next few minutes before Opening Day rosters are set).  The biggest is in the OF, where it's not a question of roster spots, but playing time, where the chances of Juan Pierre losing a lot of it are increasing, something he doesn't seem particularly happy about.  Thus far, he's not really saying anything you wouldn't expect, but it'll be interesting to see how it plays out, and Pierre doesn't sound optimistic (though he's sort of an Eeyore on the best day).  Third base seems settled, as Blake DeWitt will start tomorrow in place of the injured Nomandtony LaRociapreu (it gets harder to add a third player to that mix, I admit).  Nothing like being the last man standing, but hey, guys will take a ticket to the bigs however they come. 

In the pen, Ramon Troncoso could sneak in ahead of Chan Ho Park, depending on how the Dodgers decide to flesh out the different roles there.  Here's one dude's guess as to how it'll play out.
