We have all been talking about the Dodgers’ depth for some time now. The national media has touted that this is the deepest organization in baseball. One announcer said that if you split to team up into two teams that they would still be formidable. So, let’s play a little “Fantasy Baseball.” I thought it might be fun to “break up the Dodgers” into two teams and see how each team might fare.

OK, this assumes everyone is healthy (which won’t happen), but we have to start with some premise.
