LaRoche out 8-10 Weeks
Andy LaRoche hurt his thumb and is out for 2 months. I guess this means the third base job is no longer in question. Garciaparra is also hurt, but just day-to-day. The Dodgers will begin the season with Nomar at third, with Martinez and Abreu backing up.
This injury to LaRoche gives Nomar a chance to show if he's over the power failure from last year. If he succeeds, keep him in when LaRoche is healthy. If Nomar falters, then LaRoche should be given a chance to improve production at the position.
