"He looked great," said Martin, who was last a teammate of Kershaw's in 2010. "I felt I put a great at-bat on him and, 3-2, he ends up making a pitch right on the black. Just classic Kershaw. From the box, the curve was nasty, stayed outside the middle of the plate and if he did, it was attack mode. The fastball had a little movement at the end, just bit back and got the corner. He's got so many weapons and a little funky with the delivery, he's just tough to feel comfortable in the box."
“I’m real excited to get to big league spring training, just to see what the daily routine is for those guys just getting started, how they go about it,” said Hennessey, who got his taste of the majors as an extra coach late last season with the Dodgers. “I want to learn as much as I can like I did when I was up last year.”
“I had been playing sports basically my whole life, so when I was out for 22 months, it was tough,” Grove said during a phone interview. “Sitting there and watching every day (during the college season) believing that you can help and contribute, but knowing you can’t is tough.”...
“I really only have a small sample size (since the injury) becaue I’ve only been (throwing) live for about a month and it’s more about getting the feel back and locating pitches,” Grove said. “I am excited to get into some real games and find my own rhythm.”
