Minority owners and possible investors have called Brochu an ``obstacle'' in the team's possible sale and said he didn't believe in baseball in Montreal. ``I think what they're doing to Claude Brochu is unconscionable Unusually harsh and shocking to the conscience; that which is so grossly unfair that a court will proscribe it. When a court uses the word unconscionable to describe conduct, it means that the conduct does not conform to the dictates of conscience. ,'' Malone said before the Mets and Dodgers played Saturday. ``Claude is a good man.

According to Dodgers officials, Shaw said his wife's water broke Saturday morning and he was hoping to make it home in time for the birth. Shaw's expected to return to Dodgertown a few days after the birth. Hundley to DH: Perhaps more of the excitement will be for today's ``B'' game against the Mets at Dodgertown rather than the main attraction. Manager Davey Johnson said catcher Todd Hundley will play for the first time, though it will be as the designated hitter. Johnson said Hundley could catch his first game of the spring later in the week, but for now the Dodgers are content with allowing him to work on his throwing mechanics instead of catch games. For the seven-millionth time this spring, the Dodgers said there is nothing wrong with Hundley's reconstructed elbow. Roster cuts: The Dodgers sent infielder Damian Rolls, outfielders Glenn Davis and Bubba Crosby and catchers Casey Snow and Will McCrotty to their minor-league camp.
