Dodgers 2016 Season Previews: Scott Kazmir
Next up in our series previewing individual Dodgers is the man filling in as the #2 starter: Scott Kazmir
After signing a 3-year $48 million deal over the offseason, 32 year-old lefty Scott Kazmir finds himself in Los Angeles aiming to replace none other than Zack Greinke. He gets his first taste of pitching for an NL team after an up and down, but all around solid year that was split between Oakland and Houston.
2015 Recap
Kazmir’s 2015 season was at times dominant, and at others maddening. He began the year making 18 starts for the Oakland A’s. In Oakland, he pitched as a legit second ace to teammate Sonny Gray. He limited opposing hitters to a .596 OPS on his way to a phenomenal 2.38 ERA.
