Joel Guzman

Check out this quote from Dodagers' manager Grady little and ask yourself whether Guzman is in a good place or a bad place in the manager's mind.

"I'm a little disappointed in (Joel) Guzman. When we put him in to pinch hit in the eighth or ninth inning and he's the tying run, we're not looking for a base hit to right. I thought he was going to hit one up on that (clubhouse) roof (in left). I just had a vision in my head."
- speaking tongue-in-cheek about the 6-foot-6, 252-pound Guzman, who has monstrous power but poked a harmless single into right field with a runner on and the Dodgers down by two in the eighth inning.

The longer this infatuation continues, the more likely Guzman begins the year with the Dodgers.

Another clue would be Delwyn Young's OF position in AAA. If this is reported as LF, Guzman is a Doger on April 3rd.
