While Clayton Kershaw and Blake DeWitt were moved up to major league camp (though neither is supposed to make the Opening Day roster), the Dodgers reassigned Mario Alvarez, James McDonald, Jon Meloan and Justin Orenduff to minor league camp and released Tom Martin.
The latter move removes one hurdle in the way of Hong-Chih Kuo making the team in the bullpen, where Joe Torre seems determined to slot him. It strikes me as similar to the final season of Darren Dreifort, when the Dodgers determined that Dreifort getting up to pitch more often but for less duration would be easier than having him try to go as a starting pitcher every five days - not that Dreifort and Kuo are the same pitcher.
Yahoo Sports calls the clip "the best spring highlight to date."
It may take off. Just like "Baseball Boogie."
The reaction from Vin was classic. Thanks for the post!
