Clayton Kershaw to make spring debut

Clayton Kershaw will throw 45 to 50 pitches in his first start of the spring, which will be against the Chicago White Sox at Camelback Ranch on Monday.

All of the projected starting-position players will be taking the day off after playing on Sunday.

No other real news out of Phoenix, except for the fact that Jay Gibbons is out for another day with the flu. Manager Don Mattingly said Gibbons is hoping to work out on Tuesday and play in a game the following day as a designated hitter.

Today’s lineup:

Gwynn RF
Miles 4
Navarro 2
Paul DH
Robinson CF
Kapler LF
Mitchell 1B
Castro 3B
Sellers SS
Kershaw LHP

-- Dylan Hernandez in Phoenix

I know all the Dodgers/McCourt karma is supposed to be negative this year. But a lot of Dodgers had career low years last year.

I predict a surpisingly strong season this year All the haters (Dilbeck, that includes you) might look a bit foolish. Seriously, 2011 will be a solid year for year for LA ith Kemp, Ethier and co. returning to form

Can't wait to see all the dolts, through no fault of their own, that will or have traveled to Glendale to have to watch this lineup play. From $15 to $47 per seat inside the stadium to $8-$10 to sit on the grass outside the stadium, you will get to see your LA Dodgers in action. Can't find if there is a parking fee or what concession prices are.

Some posters would probably like to see the previous Dodgers sycophant come back to moderate this blog. You know, all milk and honey concerning the Dodgers. McCourt welcomes all the help he can get to make that extra buck.

@StanL some of us dolts actually live here and look forward to Spring Training no matter what the prices are. Its WAY cheaper than a day in L.A. and Dodger Stadium. just sayin'...
