Dodgers 2016 Season Previews: Chase Utley
Chase Utley is not the same type of player that we watched become a superstar in Philadelphia. He returns another year older after suffering through the worst season of his career. Does he have anything left? He just might.
2015 Recap
Philadelphia traded Utley to the Dodgers on August 19, 2015. At the time, Utley was playing extremely well (15-31; .484 AVG) since returning from the disabled list after missing 37 games due to an ankle injury. Unfortunately, Utley cooled off when he landed in LA and never really regained his stroke. He slashed .212/.286/.343 for the season, all career lows, and never became a factor in the Dodgers’ season.
