The Los Angeles Dodgers are going to have to scramble to find a third basemen as Nomar Garciaparra will be out for a while after break a bone in his right hand.  There is a chance that Garciaparra could be back by opening day, but I don’t think they should rush an injury like this.   Nomar could struggle all season long with a hand injury and I would rather have him just take time off to make sure it is 100% healed before he plays.

In other moves, the Dodgers optioned Eric Stults and Greg Miller to Triple-A Las Vegas.
