No relation to Russ, though the righthanded pitcher does have at least one other thing in common with the catcher: both are viable backups at third base. Despite a disappointing 2011, the Dodgers are still looking at Ethan as a pitcher first, though, and results notwithstanding, the powerful, savvy righthander still looks a lot like the Giants' young Tim Lincecum, with a usually-straight fastball and a nasty hard slider coming from a compact frame. He's still not close to ready, and really needs to get his walks under control, but when he does add some experience to his talent, he could be yet another in a long string of powerful home-grown Dodger arms.
