Folks, sorry for the silence caused by a) Monday's server problems and b) a sore neck today that I am trying to rest with time away from the computer. I know there is lots to talk about, with the new acquisitions of Jason Grabowski and Jayson Werth and such. Thanks for bearing with me.
Just in passing, though, wasn't I right in saying over a month ago that the Dodgers shouldn't have preemptively suggested that Edwin Jackson would start the season in the starting rotation - especially if they were going to let Spring Training performance affect the decision.
Jackson hasn't been officially dropped, but the writing is on the wall.
If he had to prove himself, then they should have let him prove himself. If he didn't have to prove himself, then they shouldn't be changing their mind now.
By the way - did you notice that the season started??? Hooray!
