More On The Dodgers' Arizona Move

The Times has more on the Dodgers' possible move to Glendale, Ariz. The bad news (if, as I am, you're rooting for this to happen) appears to be threefold: It may well end up that the Dodgers have to pay for their Arizona facility on their own, or wait a few years for more money from the state to appear.

You know, in 2005 (I think), Jose Molina had lost a fair amount of weight and looked to be in much better condition than his brother. Then last season he seemed to regress quite a bit, which surprised me. You'd think that with the opportunity to win an every day job, he would have come to camp in much better shape and stayed that way during the season.

I still think he's an excellent defensive catcher, probably one of the two or three best in the league. I would be shocked if they outright released him.
 
Agreed on Kotchman; I still like him a lot. He's got great plate discipline, something this organization desperately needs. It's always possible that this is a tweak in his ear to motivate him...
