Dodgers right fielder Andre Ethier and first baseman James Loney avoided arbitration with the team by agreeing to one-year deals on Tuesday. Meanwhile, L.A.'s only remaining eligible player, left-hander and reigning National League Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw, officially requested a $10 million salary for 2012. The Dodgers countered at $6.5 million for Kershaw, which in itself would represent a $6 million increase over the $500,000 Kershaw earned in 2011. "It's part of the process, but we have plenty of time to come to an agreement," Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said. "That would be our choice, but it is going to take more than us to come to that decision."
