We like to start our day searching the web and reading articles about our beloved LA sports teams. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the inter web, but luckily for you we have compiled a list of the most interesting and pertinent news stories for your morning reading pleasure. For this edition, let’s dive into the news surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Read Bobby DeMuro’s thoughts on Chris Hatcher:
“When the Dodgers traded Dee Gordon to Miami this winter, the headlines focused on Gordon, Dan Haren, and Andrew Heaney (who was later flipped to the Angels for Howie Kendrick). But one then-forgotten piece in the puzzle was catcher-turned-reliever Chris Hatcher.
Hatcher, 30, had 8 plate appearances with the Marlins in 2010 as a catcher, but failed to stick and was converted to a relief pitcher before 2011. When he debuted on the mound that season, he became the first person since 1935 to make the big leagues as a catcher, and then later, as a pitcher.
Hatcher has back-end-bullpen stuff, averaging 95.1 mph on his fastball last season to go along with an 87 mile per hour slider that he throws about 20% of the time. He’s also a strikeout artist, fanning 60 in 50 games/56 innings last year, while only walking 12 batters.”

The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced their signing of RHP player Mike Adams. He was signed to a minor league deal on Sunday:
The 36 year old Mike Adams was out last season for three months dues to a rotator cuff injury. He has since undergone multiple shoulder surgeries and other procedures to repair a sports hernia and to also relieve thoracic outlet syndrome over his career
ESPN.com reports the following quote about the new signing:
“You know if he’s healthy, he’s good,” Dodgers manager Don Mattinglysaid. “It’s just a matter of being able to watch his bullpens, see how the ball’s coming out. It’s not like, ‘Can he pitch or not?’ It’s just a matter of, ‘Is he healthy?’”
