by Ron Cervenka I know that this is a Dodger blog site and all, but I simply couldn’t ignore all of the chatter on MLB Network Radio’s Inside Pitch with Casey Stern and Jim Bowden on XM radio the past two days.

(Read More)Down on the Farm – Relievers
May 1st, 2012 at 7:11 am by Harold Uhlman The Dodger Minor League affiliates have, at this point, quite a few relievers performing very well down on the farm.
