The first game of the Dodgers spring begins this afternoon at Camelback Ranch. They'll face off at 12:05 PM PST and it'll air on SportsNet LA.

- Via Ken Gurnick at MLB.com, "Urias reminds Kershaw of early days with Dodgers."
"They did a really good job with me," said Kershaw. "I was frustrated when they would have me pitch in relief to cut my innings, but the way they did it was perfect. By the time I was ready for a big league season, I was ready for 200 innings."

- Via Mark Saxon at ESPNLosAngeles.com, "Mike Adams expects to make team."
“My whole thought process is, ‘I’ll make the club,’" Adams said. “I’m trying to keep as much doubt out of it as possible.”
- Mark Saxon also writes a bit about Joc Pederson and his problem with strike outs: "Joc Pederson has big upside, but big strikeout total."
“Joc’s aggressive, he’s got power, he swings hard and he’s got a lot of movement in his swing,” Mattingly said. “As he understands his swing more and more and has it under control, I think when he’s swinging the bat well, we’re not going to be that concerned about strikeouts.”
- Here's something you should know if you're a vintage pinback collector. Check out bpb47's post at baseballpinbackbuttons, "Lithograph Pinback Buttons (And One Unique Contraption)." It's a fairly detailed look at the development of several different kind of vintage pins.
