The Dodgers filled some more Spring Training bunks with the signings of five players, in addition to the three revealed over the weekend.
One intriguing candidate for the back end of the Dodger bullpen could be soon-to-be-27-year-old Buddy Carlyle, who had ERAs of 0.72 in AA and 4.05 in AAA in the New York Yankee organization in 2004. In the two levels combined, Carlyle struck out 140 batters in 144 innings while allowing 136 hits and 25 walks.
September pinch-runner Jose Flores also returns, as does this year's holder of the Tanyon Sturtze Ex-Devil Ray Chair, Ryan Rupe.
I'll also tip my hat to a Stanford alumni sighting: Tony Schrager. Rounding out the list is outfielder Tydus Meadows. "Can Meadows Tydus Over?" asks the imaginary headline.
