Dodgers: Making their own rules
The flexible rules of spring-training games will result in the Dodgers possibly using the designated hitter even against some National League clubs. The Florida Marlins, who will play the Dodgers a handful of times this spring, have requested to use the DH in some games, and Dodgers manager Grady Little seems willing, especially since it isn't that important to get at-bats for pitchers in the first few games. "That's important later on in spring training,'' Little said. "But early on, they don't even pitch enough innings to come to bat anyway. They might only pitch one or two innings."
