Most interesting thing that came out of it was that Jonathan Meloan, the team's top relief pitching prospect, could possibly enter spring training as a starting pitcher and compete for a spot on the team there. Meloan spent September with the team out of the bullpen, but on the day he arrived, announced his interest in eventually starting, something he hadn't done full-time since pitching for the University of Arizona.

In other news, the Dodgers exchanged phone calls with the A's and did speak with the Cardinals, but everything seems to be at a preliminary or no-go stage at this point. "It's a real long shot we leave tomorrow with anything different," Colletti said. "There was a big rush coming in here. The anticipation was greater than the reality." He went on. "We are not an organization without options. We are an organization that is becoming more and more homegrown."
