Dodgers: Lineup taking shape
Grady Little revealed one more spot in his batting order today, saying catcher Russell Martin is tentatively slated to hit sixth, "but don't hold me to that." That would leave a top six of Rafael Furcal, Juan Pierre, Nomar Garciaparra, Jeff Kent, Luis Gonzalez and Martin. Little says he hasn't yet decided how to slot third baseman Wilson Betemit and right fielder Andre Ethier into the seventh and eighth spots, but he did say he doesn't want speed in the eight hole because there won't be many chances to steal with the pitcher hitting next. That does little to clear up the matter, as neither Betemit nor Ethier is much of a stolen-base threat.
