Don't count on Schmidt
VERO BEACH, Fla. -- He's the first person you want to see upon your arrival at Dodgertown.
He's the first person everyone wants to see upon the arrival of the Dodgers' season.
He's the first person in every Dodgers prediction, every Dodgers hype, every Dodgers hope.
But where is he?
It's the middle of a spring training game and he's not on the field. He's not in the bullpen. He's not on some back mound.
A vast search ends in the middle of an otherwise empty clubhouse, where Jason Schmidt sits with a soft smile and a shaking head.

Full story.
While I would certainly love to have five big-time starters in the rotation for the entirety of the season I don't think I'm ready to give up on Ethier, LaRoche, or any of the Dodgers' younger talent. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Pierre shipped out for a low-cost starter just to fill the gap between Opening Day and Schmidt's return - however, we essentially have that in Esteban Loaiza... so I'm really not terribly concerned.
