2011 PREVIEW

WILL HAVE TO BATTLE EARLY TO KEEP AFLOAT IN NL WEST. AFTER AN OPENING-DAY HOMESTAND RUNS FOR THREE GAMES AGAINST THE GIANTS, ROOAD TRIPS TO COLORADO, SAN DIEGO AND SAN FRANCISCO LOOM.

THE DODGERS RETURN HOME TO TANGLE WITH THE CARDS IN A FOUR-GAME SERIES AND THE BRAVES COME TO TOWN FOR A THREE-GAME SET, BUT THEN IT'S A CROSS-COUNTRY SWING TO MEET THE CUBS FOLLOWED BY A TRIP NEAR THAT OTHER OCEAN TO FACE THE MARLINS.

CATCHER COULD BE A TROUBLESOME POSITION IF CARLOS SANTANA FAILS TO MEASURE UP TO THE HYPE. AARON CONNER, JUST 18, EARNED THE 3B SPOT, OPENING UP A SLOT FOR CF BRAD STARKS.

IF CONNER STRUGGLES IN THE FIELD, HE'LL MOVE BACK TO THE OUTFIELD, COSTING DOMINIC BROWN, MIKE STANTON OR BRETT GARDNER PLAYING TIME AS RYAN HOWARD AND JOEY VOTTO HAVE 1B/DH COVERED.

MATT CAIN IS A TOP-10 PITCHER AND JAIME GARCIA COMES OFF A STRONG 2010. CLAYTON RICHARD, 27, MUST STEP UP ALONG WITH CHRIS TILLMAN AND WADE LeBLANC.

PREDUCTED RECORD: 84-78
