It's great to see them not only putting up numbers in the first year of their...

Saturday Rockpile: Corpas headed to DL, Dodgers overworking their pen?
Corpas likely headed to DL - The Denver Post Manuel Corpas' MRI yesterday before the game revealed that he has bone chips in his right elbow, which will likely prompt a stint on the 15-day disabled list. The move is not official yet, but if (rather, when) Manny hits the shelf, Juan Rincon seems...
