Dodgers News: Dave Roberts Links Freddie Freeman to Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn

Never count on a Freddie Freeman slump to last for long. After a mini slide last week, the Dodger All-Star first baseman is right back on another hot streak. One that’s getting his name into the MVP conversation in the National League.

Every Dodger fan knows Freddie Freeman is having a marvelous season. LA manager Dave Roberts recognizes it and has even gone as far as to compare his offensive consistency to the late great Tony Gwynn.

“I say modern-day (Tony Gwynn) because he manipulates the bat,” Doc told reporters, including Bill Plunkett of the OC Register.
