Dodgers manager Joe Torre wants his young team to look at Manny Ramirez's 50-game suspension as a challenge.

"I hope they look at it as a challenge," Torre said specifically of Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp, Russell Martin and James Loney.

"If you asked me toward the end of last year if that confidence level was there, I wouldn't be sure. But it's there. They think they're pretty good in their own right."
