Dodgers: First impressions
Dave Collins, who has been in professional baseball for more than 30 years as a player, coach and minor-league manager, will manage the Dodgers' new Inland Empire affiliate in the high Single-A California League this season. Collins, who spent the past four seasons as the first-base coach for the Colorado Rockies, stood just outside Field 1 this morning watching a drill in which several players who arrived early to minor-league camp were used as baserunners while the big-league infielders practiced rundown plays. Collins has been here a week working with those early arrivals, and already has formed a strong opinion about the state of the Dodgers farm system. "The most talent I have ever seen anywhere," he said.
