Today's lineup: Youth is served
This is unconfirmed, and I'm not really in much of a ciphering mood, so I'm not going to bother to add it all up. But one of the guys on the TV crew told me that Juan Pierre has more games in the majors than the rest of this lineup combined, and if you take Kuroda out of the mix, Pierre makes more money than the other seven position players combined. This is the lineup the Dodgers will use to try to avoid a three-game sweep to the Astros this afternoon:
LF Pierre
RF Ethier
CF Kemp
1B Loney
C Martin
3B DeWitt
2B Young
SS Hu
RH Kuroda
Torre said if Furcal isn't ready by Tuesday, the club will have to consider DL'ing him because right now, the Dodgers are operating with 24 available players.
