as far as the Dodgers roster decisions, those were made last night after there 8-1 thrashing of the Mariners at home, for the final spring training game. even though it didnt count, it was still nice to see. Phenom Ruby De La Rosa was blowing hitters away, pitching 5.2 of shutout ball, and striking out 6, including Ichiro 3 times! Ethier drove in a run with an RBI double, Loney a two run bloop single, and monster home runs, from Marcus Thames, and Cory Smith.
Our Blog will now return to our regular format. which is two posts per day, and game recaps.
here is how the Dodgers roster shakes out. only changes are Cormier is in over Elbert, and Ellis makes the team as the backup catcher, Gimenez on the bench.
The Dodgers will carry 11 pitchers and 14 position players.
