Dodgers' rotation jokes about surplus of southpaws
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed starter Scott Kazmir to a three-year deal worth a reported $48 million on Wednesday, adding another left-handed option to a rotation already jam-packed with them.
After the news broke of the Dodgers new addition, members of the team took to social media to poke a little fun at the left-handedness of the rotation:
What a great day to officially be a Dodger! Happy birthday to my lefty idol Sandy Koufax!

Hey @ClaytonKersh22 the entire rotation is going to use your glove as a sign of solidarity.

@BrettAnderson35 @ClaytonKersh22 I'm excited....no more RH scouting reports....so much more time to steam and graze.

.@Dodgers This is blatant handism and I'm filing a hostile workplace grievance

The Dodgers project to use an all left-handed rotation consisting of Kazmir, Clayton Kershaw, Brett Anderson, Hyun-jin Ryu, and Alex Wood, though Brandon McCarthy could join the rotation in the second half of 2016, eventually giving them a right-handed look.
