Los Angeles Dodgers’ Andre Ethier and James Loney looking for successful Spring Training
The Los Angeles Dodgers’ Andre Ethier and James Loney are looking to put in a good performance during Spring Training and get some early success to the regular season.
It seems that both players are focused and staying positive for a return to form as Spring Training is starting. The Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to their young players to help them win this season on a more consistent basis.
Last season, Ethier suffered an injury to his finger, which put a slight damper on his overall performance for the Dodgers.
Ethier said, "For me, even though it was just a little finger, it held me up. It never stopped hurting, even into the offseason. It was still sore. During the season I lost my strength in the hand and forearm because I wasn't able to swing the same way.
Maybe I didn't realize it. I didn't take the time I needed, because I felt I had to come back to help the team win."
Andre had 23 home-runs, 82 RBIs with a .292 average at the close of last season. He was very impressive for the Dodgers as he managed to play through his injury and still put up decent numbers for the team.
Loney struggled but seems to be focused on staying healthy to provide a positive impact for the Dodgers during Spring Training. The team will be looking for a decent performance during the spring session and build some much needed confidence in the team
for the regular season.
The Dodgers are a very talented team full of some tremendous players. They will be looking to organise and finalise their rotation and line-up for the regular season. It will be interesting to see what type of impact Ethier and Loney will have for the team.
The Dodgers will be hoping that their young players stay healthy and fit for the regular season as they are the potential backbone for the team this season.
Only time will tell how well the Dodgers do this year in both Spring Training and the regular season. However, Los Angeles is known to have their moments of greatness and some experts feel that they may have what it takes to go very far in the regular season
this year. Without a doubt, the Dodgers are one of the top tier teams in the League, their performance during Spring Training will be a gauge to measure the type of success they might have during the regular season. Their young players seem ready to go and
it will be exciting to see what type of impact these players have on the team.
