Dodgers notes - minor league edition
- Brent Leach has reportedly decided not to pitch in winter ball for Tiburones de La Guaira in Venezuela. Single-A Inland Empire manager Carlos Subero manages the team and said Joe Torre had wanted Leach to pitch.
- Blake DeWitt had a two-hit game on Saturday in the Dominican Republic after starting off his winter ball campaign with one hit in 15 at-bats.
- Javy Guerra pitched a scoreless inning, walking two in the Arizona Fall League’s Rising Stars Showcase on Saturday.
- Double-A Chattanooga athletic trainer Yosuke Nakajima also represented the organization at the Rising Stars game. Apparently, his nickname is “possum.”
- Dave Collins, who resigned as Inland Empire manager before the 2008 season due to family reasons, has resurfaced as the Marlins’ major league first base coach.

As Lincecum and Phelps and others combine achievement with responsible self-medication — and consistency is crucial — minds will continue to open and pot will soon become a natural alternative to so many prescription drugs whose long-term effects remain questionable.
