Come one, come all. It's a happening, a regular baseball-palooza. The Dodgers' roster may have appeared pretty set since the addition of Zack Greinke, but that doesn't mean General Manager Ned Colletti hasn't stayed busy this off-season signing his annual group of non-roster long shots. Friday he signed reliever Mark Lowe to a non-roster invite, which gives him 18 with camp set to open for pitcher and catchers on Tuesday. Lowe makes six relief pitchers alone who will be in camp, battling to find a spot in a bullpen with precious few openings.

For the meet-and-greet types, the Dodgers have announced the schedule for their 10th annual community caravan. The caravan begins Monday, with team alumni featured the first four days at one stop per day. On Friday, 15 current players will be joined by Manager Don Mattingly during four stops. Players scheduled to participate Friday include Clayton Kershaw, Javy Guerra, Matt Guerrier, Adrian Gonzalez, Nick Punto, Brandon League, A.J. Ellis, Andre Ethier, Luis Cruz, Hyun-Jin Ryu, Tim Federowicz, Mark Ellis, Skip Schumaker, Shawn Tolleson and Kenley Jansen.

Left-hander J.P. Howell's one-year deal with the Dodgers could be worth as much as $4.6 million, according to a person familiar with the details of the reliever's contract. Howell will earn a base salary of $2.85 million and can earn an additional $1.75 million in incentives. But for Howell to collect the full amount, he would have to become the team's closer - something unlikely to happen, considering the bullpen also includes Brandon League, Kenley Jansen and Ronald Belisario.

I'd like to start this by resolving that this will be my last cheap resolutions post. At least until I'm desperate for material to start the next year. Otherwise, here are some 2013 new year's resolutions for the Boys in Blue: Juan Uribe: Eat three meals a day. To eat only three meals a day. Andre Ethier: To remember how I hit .279 against left-handers in 2007. Magic Johnson: Not to be found sitting next to Frank McCourt at next season's opener. Luis Cruz: To remember walks really are allowed.

How the Dodgers look BATTING ORDER Player Name; Pos.; B/T; 2012 ave.; comment 1. Mark Ellis; 2B; R/R; .258; Absence of true leadoff hitter pushes him to the top of the order. 2. Carl Crawford; LF; L/R; .282; Recovering from elbow operation that limited him to 31 games. 3. Matt Kemp; CF; R/R; .303; Recovering from shoulder surgery; one of baseball's best players when healthy. 4. Adrian Gonzalez; 1B; L/L; .299; Drove in 108 runs in what was considered a sub-par season.

Brian Wilson might want to pitch for the Dodgers, but it appears the interest isn't mutual. The colorful and magnificently bearded closer wasn't tendered a contract for next season by the San Francisco Giants, making him a free agent. Wilson lives in Los Angeles in the off-season, and the Dodgers are among the teams with which he would like to sign, according to multiple reports. Though the Dodgers won't publicly comment on free agents, people familiar with team officials' thinking say they aren't looking to sign Wilson.

RONALD BELISARIO , turns 30 on Dec. 31, reliever Final 2012 stats: 8-1, 2.54 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 8.7 strikeouts per nine innings, .187 opponents batting average. Contract status: Under team control. The good: Had the finest of his three major-league seasons by most statistical analysis. Looked a lot like the guy who unexpectedly exploded upon the scene in 2009. Stuff can truly be nasty. After serving an initial 25-game suspension for testing positive for cocaine -- and being unable to get a visa to play at all in 2011 --- returned to fairly dominate.

Looking back on it now, Javy Guerra had himself one heck of a season. Now maybe you're thinking otherwise, what with him starting off 2012 as the team closer , losing that role by early May and ultimately earning a trip back to the minors. Yet Guerra finished with a 2.60 earned-run average and saved eight games, despite having mid-season knee surgery , returning only to sustain a season-ending oblique injury - - and it turns out, pitching with a bum shoulder. Yep, injury No. 3 in Guerra's troubled season emerged when the Dodgers announced Friday he had undergone arthroscopic right shoulder surgery.

The Dodgers re-signed free agent Brandon League on Tuesday with the intention of making him their closer. League's salary will reflect his role, as the Dodgers are committed to paying him $22.5 million over the next three seasons. The contract also includes an option for a fourth season at $7.5 million that will become guaranteed if League finishes 55 games in 2015. "We think that after what he did the last two or three weeks, that closing is the role," General Manager Ned Colletti said.

The San Francisco Giants have won two of the last three World Series championships, but pitcher Brandon League said Wednesday the Dodgers would be "the team to beat next year. " "The Giants had a great year," League said. "They won the games they needed to win. But I think in 2013, the Los Angeles Dodgers are going to be the team everyone wants to beat or tries to beat. " The 29-year-old closer spoke to reporters on a conference call after he signed a $22.5-million, three-year deal with the Dodgers.
