Shoulder workout and bands?

Hi everybody, 

  I've used the search bar at the top to look into this, but that just created more questions. The focus on this is for position players. Based on what I've read, bands are used as a warmup for long toss, correct? They get the blood flowing better, so your arm is looser for when you throw? 

  As for a dumbell shoulder workout (like this one http://www.yougoprobaseball.co...aseball-players.html ), this is meant for the actual strengthening and stabilizing of the rotator cuff and muscles around it, right? 

  If this is correct, are bands necessary (recommended?) for warming up to longtoss? What makes that different than just a good ol' dynamic warmup? And with the shoulder routine, how often do you do it, and when? It's to my understanding that you do it with normal workouts, not during a throwing session. 

    Sorry for all the questions, but thanks for any input you all can provide.
