Torre and Mattingly to the Dodgers?
Two major league officials said yesterday that the Los Angeles Dodgers planned to fire Grady Little as their manager and replace him with Torre, who would make Mattingly a coach on his staff. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity. Yet with another opportunity seeming more and more real, Mattingly was not devastated.
"He was in great spirits," said one of the officials, who spoke with Mattingly after the Yankees had decided on Girardi. "For what happened, he was in great spirits. He's confident. He knows he's good. He knows he'll manage in the big leagues someday."
I wish them both well and hope this happens. I live in LA so it'll be good for Dodger fans since Grady is a horrible manager and in a few years if Girardi fails, (I hope he doesn't) Donnie Baseball could still end up at the helm of the Yankees.

A-Rod the Dodger
I wonder how Scott Proctor feels about being reunited with Torre.

Even if he only ends up hitting as well as his brother Adam, that's still pretty darn good for a 3B.

He was called up to the bigs
Yes, the PCL does have inflated offensive numbers, so I would not expect LaRoche to slug .550 often in the bigs. However, even if he were to hit a mere .280/.365/.485 or so at 3B, which scouts predict he's quite capable of doing, he'll be an above average 3B.
