Dodgers: ... and they don't take American Express
Former Dodgers infielder Willy Aybar, now with Atlanta, has yet to arrive in camp because of visa problems in his native Dominican Republic. This is a common problem EARLY in spring training, but I can't recall ever hearing about it on March 1. Ken Howell, the pitching coach for the Dodgers' Triple-A Las Vegas affiliate, was looking for Aybar before today's Grapefruit League opener with the Braves and was incredulous to learn that Aybar still hadn't arrived. When a couple of players confirmed to Howell that Aybar was, indeed, having visa problems, Dodgers outfielder Delwyn Young said, "He should have gotten a MasterCard." We think (hope) Young's double entendre was intentional.
