"He looks more comfortable," said Mattingly. "He looks more fluid. He was stiff early on. He looked typical for a guy who hadn't played in a while. For me, early on was really rough and stiff. He's gotten better. We'll just try to keep playing him as much as we can, but we've got to see other people, too."
- Daniel Shoptaw at C70 At Bat shares a preview of the Dodgers that includes some words from myself a fellow blogger Scott Andes at Lasroda's Lair. Check out what Scott and myself had to say, here.
- Via David Laurila at FanGraphs, "Joc Pederson, Los Angeles Dodgers Outfield Prospect."
“If you’re thinking too much, you’re already at a disadvantage. The ball is coming so fast that you need to have a clear mind. When you keep it simple you can be confident with your approach and take that confidence into the box.

Not only was Babe Ruth's journey to Fayetteville the first train ride he had ever taken, the Lafayette Hotel provided him with his first elevator ride. He spent his pocket money bribing the elevator operator to let him run it. Up and down. Up and down. He couldn't get enough of that elevator.

- For any of you Kings fans out there, John Hoven at Mayor's Manor (In my opinion, the best sports blog in LA) breaks down Wednesdays NHL trade deadline day and the various moves made by the Kings and Ducks on TSN Radio. I think Dean Lombardi, GM of the Kings, might be the best there is in any sport, and I too am scratching my head at what the Ducks did and didn't do.
