Tonight's lineups, Manny speaks, Dodgers first pick

Suspended Dodgers LF Manny Ramirez has broken his public silence on his suspension -- but he didn't say much.
Ramirez didn't specifically address the 50-game suspension handed down by the MLB, according to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick: "That's in the past," Ramirez said. "Whatever happened, that's in the past. I'm coming to play my game and move on. What happened, happened. I spoke to (owner) Frank McCourt, I apologized, I spoke to (manager) Joe Torre, my teammates and I'm ready to move on. I didn't kill nobody, I didn't rape nobody. That's it."
Ramirez is eligible to return from suspension on July 3 and may begin a rehab assignment 10 days prior.
Meanwhile, Chad Billingsley is on the hill for the Dodgers tonight, facing off against the Padres' Chris Young in the first game of a two-game set with San Diego. Here's tonight's lineups:

In New York, the Dodgers' first selection in the 2009 MLB Draft has just been announced. With no first round pick due to the signing of Type A free agent Orlando Hudson, the Dodgers took Baylor LHP/CF Aaron Miller with their #36 pick in the compensatory, or sandwich, round between the 1st and 2nd.
Most scouting services have Miller listed as a likely CF at the next level, but the Dodgers announced him as a pitcher with the selection. This may remind some of the selection of James Loney out of high school in the first round in 2002. Many saw Loney as a left-handed starter at the major league level, but the Dodgers saw him as a first-base prospect through and through. Interestingly, Loney had committed to Baylor but chose to sign with the Dodgers when he was selected 19th overall.

The Dodgers' next selection is at #56. Both of these picks were received as compensation for the loss of Derek Lowe to the Braves in free agency.
