Few teams have as much depth as the Dodgers, but that can sometimes cause just as many problems as solutions. It can lead to inconsistent playing time for role players, which is the case for utility man, Matt Beaty.
While many had Beaty penciled in as a constant bench player for LA, he has spent some time in AAA Oklahoma City this year. This is by no means due to a lack of production, but the team has felt that he would benefit more from consistent at-bats in the minors compared to an unpredictable role in the majors.
