• ATTENTION, FREE-AGENT SHOPPERS: Will Rafael Furcal ever make it to the free-agent auction stand? Maybe not. There are indications his agent, Paul Kinzer, has told the Dodgers that he and Furcal have interest in talking in-season about an extension. And clearly, the Dodgers would share that interest, considering that Furcal leads their team in runs, hits, doubles, batting average and even homers. Furcal was also slugging .597 when he headed for the disabled list this week. The only Dodgers shortstop who ever even got within 140 points of that was Glenn Wright -- in 1930.

• THE KERSHAW COUNTDOWN: Despite massive buzz about 20-year-old left-handed phenom Clayton Kershaw's imminent arrival in L.A., his ETA might be later, not sooner. For one thing, it's easier to limit his innings in the minor leagues than the major leagues. And just as importantly, Kershaw just got knocked out in the fourth inning of a Double-A start last weekend. So not everyone is convinced he's ready.
"To succeed in the big leagues," said one baseball man who saw him recently, "you need a fastball you can command down and a breaking ball you can throw for a strike. Right now, he struggles to throw his breaking ball for strikes. And most of his fastballs are above the knees, mostly above the belt. If you do that in the big leagues, even at 94-95 [mph], you'll get hit."

(Note: Dodgers, Braves and Cardinals fans everywhere are nodding and saying, "Yup ... been there, done that.")
