The Pitchers and Catchers for the Los Angeles Dodgers reported to Camelback Ranch-Glendale this past Thursday with the first workouts on Friday. Reigning National League MVP and Cy Young Award Winner Clayton Kershaw threw 30 pitches to Catcher A.J. Ellis and was reportedly "unimpressed" by his workout. I don't know too many pitchers that are impressed by their first workout of the season.
Newcomer Brett Anderson got in his first workout for his new team and tested out his surgically repaired back. Injuries have robbed him of the majority of five of his six seasons.
One notable absence was that of Closer Kenley Jansen. He had foot surgery this past week and will miss the first two to three months of the season. Spring Training hadn't even started yet and the Dodgers have already been hit by a major injury. The Dodgers are reportedly going to look from within the organization to replace him and use a Bullpen by committee approach.
