Dodger Numbers for Spring Training
Camelback Ranch officially opens to fans tomorrow at 9:00 AM, so I suspect there will be quite a few autograph hounds on site in hopes of capturing a coveted autograph from a favorite player. To help out in that quest I have put together a list of Dodger player numbers in numerical order that you check out below. Strangely, there are several duplicate numbers in the list I received.
Go below the fold to see the entire list:
Pitchers and Catchers Report to Camelback Ranch Today
Woo Hoo! After months of waiting... Months of twiddling my thumbs... Months of staring out the window praying for Spring... This day has finally come.
Today, Dodger pitcher and catchers officially report to their Spring Training home at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona.
For the most part, everyone reporting today is just checking in. Actual workouts on the field begin tomorrow. In the meantime, there is already a bunch of comments coming in from some notable Dodgers. Check some out below.
From newest starting pitcher Brett Anderson:
Brett Anderson, coming off back surgery, said he has thrown off a mound 4-5 times, is under few restrictions
— Mark Saxon (@markasaxon) February 19, 2015
Other than having a great season, Anderson has one other goal:
Brett Anderson's actual number one goal is to out hit Brandon McCarthy. BA had 2 hits last year - both doubles.

Having worked out during the Winter with an Korean team, Hyun-Jin Ryu is ready to go:
Hyun-jin Ryu reiterated his goal of pitching 200 innings in 2015, staying healthy all year. Says no issues now with shoulder
— Eric Stephen (@truebluela) February 19, 2015
Clayton Kershaw is doing well:
#Dodgers Kershaw: "Everyone's supposed to say they're in the best shape of their life - so I guess I'm in the best shape of my life."
— Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) February 19, 2015
Clayton Kershaw called Yasmani Grandal a great catcher, sidestepped questions of A.J. Ellis as his personal catcher ("up to Donnie")
— Eric Stephen (@truebluela) February 19, 2015
Kershaw spoke with Mattingly this morning - "We talked dad stuff."
— ThinkBlueLA (@Think_BlueLA) February 19, 2015
AJ Ellis could care less about the politics of it all:
A.J. Ellis: "I don't need a title of starting catcher or backup catcher. I just want to be a World Series champion catcher."
— Eric Stephen (@truebluela) February 19, 2015
Zack Greinke is as evasive as ever:
Zack Greinke said he won't decide on opt out until season is over.
— Ken Gurnick (@kengurnick) February 19, 2015
Unfortunately, a couple of players have yet to show up:
Joel Peralta and Yimi Garcia are the only Dodgers pitchers yet to report, but are expected in time for Friday's first workout.
— Ken Gurnick (@kengurnick) February 19, 2015
But there are some surprising early appearances:
Puig is here.
— J.P. Hoornstra (@jphoornstra) February 19, 2015
Erisbel Arruebarrena also here early.

Below are some more links to check out:
- FYI, Camelback Ranch officially opens to fans tomorrow, Friday, February 20th at 9:00 AM, via their facebook. The team store, concession stands and box office will be open.
- Take a look at a sneak peek at two of the Dodger pins they are giving out this season. Below are the Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax Cy Young pins, via @Dodgers on twitter. Check out the Don Newcombe pin they are giving away on April 13th here.
- Here's another Dodger give away preview. On the right is the 1965 World Series replica ring they are giving away on Saturday, May 16th for Old-Timers Day. Go here to check out the entire Dodger promotion schedule.
- Listen to Josh Byrnes, Dodgers Senior VP of Baseball Operations, on DodgerTalk from last night here.
- OK. This is just hilarious. Via No Coast Bias, "Omaha Storm Chasers Start Twitter Feud With Albuquerque Isotopes Because Of ‘Better Call Saul’"
- Baseball Nut at All About Cards does it right, "Wallet Card Wednesday the Adventures of Wallet Card at Dodger FanFest." I apologize for neglecting my own Wallet Card. I still have it, and its gone through a tremendous amount of wear and tear. It's just that I keep forgetting to take photos of it.
- Now this is interesting. Via Ryan Tedards at Sports Card Radio, "Panini America Interested In Acquiring Upper Deck." If this happens then I they'll be seriously considered for a MLB license to create Baseball cards.
