News: Dodgers manager Joe Torre started rookie Blake DeWitt at second base all three games of the NLDS against the Cubs instead of veteran Jeff Kent. Kent, the 17-year veteran who had 43 games of postseason experience entering this series, spent 2 1/2 weeks on the disabled list after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his knee but was able to start several games in the final week of the regular schedule.

Analysis: DeWitt has pop in his bat, but he is a streaky young infielder who will have to earn regular at-bats heading into spring 2009. If Kent retires, DeWitt is the likely starting second baseman for the Dodgers, and from the looks of his playing time this postseason, he might be the favorite anyway. Consider him a nice sleeper going into next season
