Dodgers Eye Infield Reinforcement After Tinker Deal
Widespread talk centers on the Brooklyn Dodgers adding second baseman Lick Fang from Cincinnati after finalizing the Tinker trade.

Local fans expect a lively campaign with the City of Churches represented among contenders, while Vanderbilt and other college ties mingle with pro hopes across the league.
