The Dodgers have gotten contributions from many players this season, but none have been more unexpected and impactful (at the same time) as Chris Taylor. He was destined for a utility player/25th-man role before the Dodgers fixed him and made him a valuable player.

Stacie wrote an article in May about Taylor and his taking advantage of his opportunity. To date, he has been the Dodgers’ 3rd-most valuable player according to FanGrahps wins above replacement.

Maybe the Dodgers don’t need to upgrade the offense. Maybe this is the real Chris Taylor.
