This Years Reclamation Project
Blue Heaven —
... Year after year the Dodgers always seem to have a couple of arms in Spring Training that are hoping to earn one last chance at the big leagues. In the past we saw Victor Alvarez and Jose Lima make the team in this manner. In 2008 former Dodger Chan Ho Park hopes to do it too.

The Prodigal Chan Ho Park Son Returns to LA
Larry Brown Sports —
As I posted at FanHouse, former Dodger laughingstock, Chan Ho Park, has received a non-roster invitation to Dodgers spring training. What a joke. While in LA, Park was known for four things: wimping out of big games, allowing two grand slams to Fernando Tatis in the same inning, bicycle kicking Tim Belcher in interleague play, and seeking a $100 million free agent contract. Luckily for LA, Texas bit and paid $65 mil over five years for 22 wins from Park. Quite a bargain.
So now, for the first time since 2001, Chan Ho Park will appear in a Dodger uniform. What could possibly be a better way to pump up your ...

Miguel Cabrera to Boston?
baseball.fanboom.com 11/8/2007 — So it would seem as though it’s official, for the right amount of swag, any team in baseball can get themselves a 24 year-old slugger with a career line of .313/.388/.542 - all done in a pitchers ballpark.
Some of the locations being thrown around for Miguel Cabrera are the Yankees, Dodgers, Angels, Giants and Red Sox. However, the most likely destination in my estimation is Boston. Why?
