I’ll bet if this sale had happened a year ago Kuroda would still be a Dodger.

I’m missing Kuroda already.

Chris Capuano looks like he will be good for no more than 6 innings. Not a complaint, exactly, just an observation. When Lilly returns, I could envision a scenario in which Capuano and Harang share the fourth starter role, coming in to relieve one another.

Failing that, I might slot one of them in between Kershaw and Billingsley so the bullpen doesn’t have back-to-back long nights.

pretty good idea but is two days rest better for the arm then back to back days? I have no idea
