Dem Bums – A Dodgers Blog

…..The rotation would look something like this:

Billingsley

Kuroda

Schmidt (if fully recovered; likely before or by the end of Spring Training)

Kershaw

fifth starter:  Shawn Estes or Eric Stults

The Dodgers are reportedly in the run for Jon Garland and Randy Wolf to add to the starting rotation. Garland declined a salary arbitration from the Angels, opting for free agency in hopes of a multi-year deal. Lefty Randy Wolf might be more in the Dodgers’ budget, and he may be willing to leave the Astros to return to LA with the Dodgers who he pitched for in 2007.

Kris Benson has also been of interest of the Dodgers, with Benson having a throwing outing this past weekend for the Dodgers and eight other teams, though he hasn’t tossed a major league game since 2006.
