Torre Says Bullpen Ready

Manager Joe Torre said only Cory Wade is unavailable for Tuesday night’s Dodgers game against Arizona. Jeff Weaver will start for the Dodgers with a pitch-count target of 75, meaning Torre is likely to go to the bullpen early. His long man will be James McDonald, whose place in the rotation Weaver is taking.

Torre also said Jason Schmidt threw 100 pitches in an extending Spring Training game Monday, will have a bullpen session Wednesday, and that could lead to a Minor League rehab assignment. — Ken Gurnick

    We could sure use another outing from Weaver similar to the way he pitched last Thursday in relief of McDonald.
    And visa versa with JIMMY MACK if he does come in early tonight.

    Jeff Weaver pitched an outstanding game last night. While I was watching game thru the Dback network . Mark Grace gave Jeff Weaver the player of the game award.

    Schmidt on a rehab assignment? Why doesn’t he just stay away? We’re doing great without him, and we don’t need him.
