There has been some new developments within the Dodgers' organization: 

Nomar Garciaparra has been diagnosed with  microfracture in his right wrist. The third-baseman receieved a cortisone shot earlier today. However, his trainer likened the injury to a small bone bruise. Regardless, Garciaparra needs to take some cuts at the bat if he expects to be ready for Opening Day 2008. Sports Illustrated predicts that the slugger will be swinging a bat by the weekend.

Jeff Kent also received a cortisone injection to aid his injured right leg. The Dodgers' batter will be out for about five to six days, claims the Los Angeles Times. If you recall, Kent stated that he would play through through the injury during the Regular Season. This is not the Regular Season, and the second-baseman is expected to be back in the line-up by the weekend.

 The Dodgers have a lot to look forward to over the weekend. I hope that both of these athletes are fully recovered from their various ailments. In order for Los Angeles to be successful in the 2008 Regular Season, everyone needs to be healthy.

Nomar and Jeff Kent are incredibly brittle.

Look at them wrong and SNAP

I usually promote my posts on the Los Angeles Dodgers' Fan Network. (They're also listed on SportsIllustrated.Com).

I'll join the MLB Club and send them out there, too. Thanks, RUGator.

You're absolutely right.

Nomar Garciaparra has been injured so many times that Major League Baseball gave up on counting his trips to the Disabled List. In 2003 (?), he was injured with the Red Sox. Nothing has changed in all of these years.

He truly was better than Jeter before then. After that, he's done nothing.

Jeter hasn't been so great since then, either.

Garciparra also switched around the diamond from SS to 1B and then 3B.
