After the Padilla announcement it would be hard to for Joe Torre to shock Dodger fans this spring but Joe Torre managed to do just that when he announced that Jamey Carroll would be the opening day 2nd baseman. When making the announcement Joe said
DeWitt did everything we asked but turn the double play. Until we see that he can turn the deuce we are going to have to go with the guy we know can handle it. When DeWitt bobbled the easy ground ball yesterday it just reinforced our decision that he wasn't ready to handle the job yet.
UPDATE: APRIL FOOLS!
