Grudzielanek: Channeling Gary Sheffield
Mark Grudzielanek, quoted in the Chicago Sun-Times:
"That last year was a circus over there. A lot went on. I was looking forward to something happening where I could move on and reload because they weren't going in the right direction over there.''
Brown: Channeling Ed Norton
From the Palm Beach Post:

Lo Duca: Channeling Pure Emotional Energy
MLB.com's Ken Gurnick, who is really bringing along the nitty-gritty information on the Dodgers better than anyone else right now that I can see, reports that Paul Lo Duca played much of last season with a torn groin muscle.

I've added a link to MLB.com's Dodger news coverage to the site. (Dodgers.com is a subset of MLB.com.)
