Dodgers' Park took a minor detour to majors
SAN DIEGO -- Chan Ho Park was in a Dodgers uniform Friday for the first time in six years, the sting of being cut from the opening-day roster no longer a topic worthy of discussion.
Asked what he thought when sent down to triple-A Las Vegas for what turned out to be a three-day minor league assignment, Park replied, "I'm on the team now. That's more important, right?"
Park, who went into the spring with a minor league deal, said he was "in shock" when he was told Wednesday by Las Vegas Manager Lorenzo Bundy that his contract was being purchased by the big league club. He was scheduled to make his first start for the 51s on Thursday.

Full story.
Sounds like good news to me - I want to see Billingsley in the rotation; hopefully having Loaiza and Park for long-relief/mop-up duty will keep him entrenched there. Plus, Park was borderline spectacular in the Spring. Chavez was expendable, to say the least.
It looks as if Garciaparra may never be back (pure speculation), and I could not care less. The same applies to Abreu, as he seems to be a cry-baby.
I hope LaRoche gets healthy, as I do see big things for him - but DeWitt shoudl remain the starter at third so long as he plays like this.
