UTK Quick Hits
From today's UTK:
- The Angels were relieved that there was no structural damage in the throwing elbow of Orlando Cabrera. The SS has had what is called “significant swelling” in his elbow that hasn’t been reduced by rest or normal treatment. Normally quite durable, Cabrera is having significant problems this season. Some are saying that his unfamiliarity with the training room is part of the problem, convincing himself that he can get out there and be the tough guy that Mike Scioscia tells everyone he needs.
- Across town, the Dodgers' two big bats are dealing with injuries in different ways. Milton Bradley has had to back off his swinging after experiencing great pain in his damaged hand. Bradley is growing increasingly frustrated with the problem and may look for a new opinion with a hand specialist in the near future. J.D. Drew was back on the field, looking uncomfortable. The chondromalacia-induced pain is still there, but is manageable. It’s clear from his stride that it’s still in Drew’s head, something that could affect his play.
- Wilson Alvarez should be back for the Dodgers soon. He won’t help the rotation, which might be a good thing, considering ...
Comments:
This Bradley news is getting worse and worse. There really is no hope if he doesn't come back soon. It just seems the Dodgers have done a really poor job of handling the injuries they've had.

I'm inclined to think DePodesta has been intentionally gambling on injury-prone players; this is just the year the debt comes due. I'm not saying I would have done differently (that would be lying), but I wonder that he hasn't ignored his medical staff and/or scouts too often in some of these signings.
