Furcal “questionable” for opener

Grady Little just said Rafael Furcal is “questionable” for Monday’s season opener at Milwaukee — which means, of course, that he probably won’t play. Grady said Furcal should be ready shortly after opening day, but that still leaves the possibility — or perhaps the probability — that he will open the season on the DL because it can be backdated to March 23, which means he still could return on April 7 at San Francisco. And that also would solve, at least temporarily, the question of what to do about Wilson Valdez, who is having a spectacular spring but for whom the Dodgers don’t appear to have a roster spot. Grady said a final decision on Furcal will come Saturday.
