Hi, my name is Houston Mitchell, and welcome to another edition of Dodgers Dugout. If I’m Andrew Friedman, I sign former Rams coach Jeff Fisher as my new set-up reliever. There’s no one better at stopping an offense than Fisher.
Next season’s team
I started off last week’s Dodgers Dugout with this, and will run this after every trade or signing so we can see the roster take shape. Let’s take a look at a projected 25-man roster if the season started today:
Catchers: Yasmani Grandal, Austin Barnes
First base: Adrian Gonzalez, Darin Ruf
Second base: Micah Johnson or Chris Taylor
Third base: Justin Turner, Rob Segedin
Left field: Andrew Toles, Trayce Thompson (or Scott Van Slyke)
Center field: Joc Pederson, Enrique Hernandez
Right field: Yasiel Puig, Andre Ethier
Starting rotation: Clayton Kershaw, Rich Hill, Kenta Maeda, Julio Urias.
