Into the spring, with some training

With the spring (almost) upon us, MLB teams are entering training camps and Dodgers are no exception. Joe Torre had his 1st team meeting in Vero Beach and from what I've read things went well, save for some apprehension Torre felt from the players, but hey, that's to be expected when sitting in a meeting for the first time with the new manager.

The new addition in the pitcher ranks obviously made a good stand when he pitched and Torre was among those observing. Even Martin was surprised about the hard pitches that Hiroki Kuroda hurled towards the starting catcher. That is good news, since Jason Schmidt prolly won't be game-ready come season start.

In other news, former Dodgers catcher issued a statement about his name coming up in the Mitchell Report. Paul Lo Duca regretted the ˝mistakes in judgement˝ he made in the past. What awaits the Nationals' new addition, is up to Commissioner's office.
