Dem Bums – A Dodgers Blog

Pitchers and catchers reported a few days ago, but even some position players decided to take the field early at the Dodger facilities in Glendale, AZ. Among the early arrivals was Juan Pierre. Pierre’s position as the left-field starter lingers on whether or not the Dodgers will sign Manny Ramirez, but for now, Pierre is training as if he will be the everyday left-fielder.

The Dodgers now have 36 pitchers at their camp, including their regular roster and non-roster invitees. Hiroki Kuroda was one of a few who had yet to throw a bullepn session, but that was schedule for today. Kuroda’s name has been tossed around as a possible Opening Day starter, in place of Chad Billingsley, who was thought originally to be the starter that day.
