Rosters were due to be set today, Opening Day, and the Dodgers followed suit last night. Loney reportedly didn’t take the demotion well, and I don’t blame him.
Just for the heck of it, let’s roughly compare the roster for 2007 with that of 2006, taking injuries into account (which is why they don’t add up to 25).
