Dodgers: Off day
Light blogging today because it's the players' off-day. Randy Wolf pitched a simulated game (it was supposed to be a minor-league intrasquad, but there were two other minor-league games already scheduled, so it turned into a simulated game because of a lack of available bodies). He threw 73 pitches (13 more than scheduled), and everything felt fine, even though he dodged a line drive back through the box that could have been catastrophic. ... Chad Billingsley has been told he no longer is a candidate for the fifth spot in the rotation and that he will begin the season as a multiple-innings middle reliever. Grady said Chad was fine with that because it essentially means he is on the big-league club. More detail on this in tomorrow's paper. ... Oh, and the Dodgers released Fernando Tatis today. Tatis, a non-roster invitee, had been reassigned to minor-league camp on Sunday, but didn't show up until this morning. Non-roster players are required the following day after they are reassigned.

Just wanted to chime in with the guys who said somebody needs to get rid of that "Mets Sweep Dodgers" stuff that leads the Daily News/Dodgers page EVERY DAY. I know that's not really your gig, but you must have more pull than I do.
I'll also join the voices saying I LOVE prospect news. Maybe every Sunday or some such thing during the season you could catch up with the stars on the rise.
Thanks for listening, Tony. I enjoy your reporting.
