by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com (3/24/2013) Dodgers third baseman Juan Uribe was a late scratch in Saturday's Cactus League contest against the White Sox due to right hamstring tightness. The 34-year-old is expected to open the season at third base while Hanley Ramirez recovers from thumb surgery.
Juan Uribe will start at third
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (3/21/2013) The Dodgers will open the season with Juan Uribe at third base, CBSSports.com’s Jon Heyman reported.
With Hanley Ramirez expected to miss eight weeks after thumb surgery, Luis Cruz will shift to short, leaving Uribe to play third.
The 33-year-old Uribe was an afterthought last season, receiving just one plate appearance over the last five weeks of the year. Uribe has hit .378/.395/.541 in 37 at-bats this spring, which may have lead to this decision.
Uribe wants to prove worth
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (2/21/2013) The Los Angeles Times reports Luis Cruz heads into spring training games as the lead candidate to emerge as the Dodgers' starting third baseman, but he will receive competition from Juan Uribe, who has disappointed in his first few years with the Dodgers. "That's the reality," Uribe said. "As the whole world knows, I have to show something to the coaches, to the players. I have to show them that I can still do the job. In these two years, I couldn't do what I thought I could do. I haven't been able to do what they've expected me to do. This is a new year. I'm going to try to do better."
