After seeing plenty of obstacles put in his way over the last two years, Blake DeWitt looks to be the favorite for the starting second base job.

Spring training is still young, but it seems as if DeWitt will get every chance to earn the job over candidates such as Ronnie Belliard and Jamey Carroll, both of whom could end up as utility men.

DeWitt started the spring training opener March 5 on a day when manager Joe Torre's lineup had all of the other projected opening-day starters. DeWitt played solid defense and went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run.

"DeWitt played both sides of the ball really well," Torre said. "He's worked very hard at second base. He's really applied himself, and I'm really impressed."

He started the 2008 season as the Dodgers' surprise...
