Kemp, Rivara prepare for return to Dodgers
How long can the Dodgers survive with the kiddie brigade?
Since Matt Kemp went on the 15-day disabled list, they have barely missed a beat, going 7-3. Twice theyve started lineups with only one regular. Every minor leaguer called up has had his moment.
Still, its not reasonable to expect the young bucks to keep this up indefinitely, which means the news that both Kemp and Juan...

According to Bill Shakin of the L.A. Times, Andre Ethier “does not plan to impose a deadline on negotiations on the contract extension that could keep him out of free agency.”
Dodgers GM, Ned Colletti, who said that he would like to sign Ethier to a contract extension, already spoke with the new Dodgers' president, Stan Kasten, about that matter.
The outfielder said that...

Jerry Hairston Jr. is in the lineup today, meaning he has been activated off the disabled list. Unfortunately, the corresponding move is Justin Sellers heading to the disabled list. Hairston is batting .315/.403/.463/.866 on the season, which isn’t even the best part, as he was one of the best defenders in the MLB for the

Manager Bobby Valentine made it perfectly clear on Wednesday that he wants Kevin Youkilis in a Red Sox uniform, and that he doesn't foresee a trade involving the corner infielder. If the Red Sox were to open up the phone lines, though, they'd likely have plenty of suitors. Youkilis has proven to be a valuable player over the years when healthy, and there's reason to believe...
