The Dodgers’ annual Spring Training Ping Pong Tourney is underway. Whom do you pick?
And now, to wrap up the weekend …
- Alex Guerrero, who to this Neanderthal observer looked smooth taking balls at third base today, will be one of the most difficult roster decisions the Dodgers face in March. Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com spoke to Guerrero and Don Mattingly about the situation.
- The versatile Kike Hernandez was poised to try to play all nine defensive positions in a single game for Triple-A Oklahoma City (in the Astros organization), only to be thwarted by success, writes J.P. Hoornstra of the Daily News. Hernandez also spoke to Sanchez about how his winter Caribbean Series experienced primed him for Spring Training.
- Carl Crawford has operated out of the center of attention this spring, but Dylan Hernandez of the Times catches up with him in this feature.
- It’s a hard start to the year for Chicago and baseball, which lost Ernie Banks in February and now today, Minnie Minoso.

Seager/Kershaw FTW!

My first thought was also Seager and Kershaw but then I realized that was based on what I think of them as potential and kinetic baseball players.
Seeing who they are up against in round one does make it the match I would most want to watch however!

I hope both Guerrero and Hernandez can work there way onto the 25 man roster. Is Kiki a switch hitter? That would be awesome!
