There’s no question that the Dodgers‘ big league, 25-man roster is structured to handle a short-term absence from just about any player on the squad. The team has relief pitchers who can start, starters who can relieve, outfielders who can play the infield, and even a utility man who can handle the catching duties. However, if another type of unfortunate, long-term injury occurs at any point during the season, the club may find themselves forced to dip into the minor league depths for added cover.
We keep hearing about the depth of the entire organization, and although the system isn’t overloaded with many star-studded, blue chip prospects, it is indeed very adept, as it still could be ranked among the Top 5 in baseball.
