This season really proved that you can never have too much pitching, especially quality pitching. The Dodgers struggled to stay healthy this year which was an eventual reason for their demise.
At the beginning of the year, they had more arms than they had room for which was certainly a nice problem to have. However, the jump back to a full 162-game season did not bode well for many guys as Dustin May and Clayton Kershaw were lost to injuries, David Price and Tony Gonsolin were not that effective, and Trevor Bauer was sidelined. That just left Julio and Walker Buehler left with a handful of unreliable minor league arms until Max Scherzer was acquired.
