There are a lot of questions for the Dodgers to answer this spring. More than most seasons, there are starting jobs up for grabs and entire roster spots in question.
Let’s take a shot at predicting the 13 position players who will make up their half of LA’s Opening Day roster. First, let’s start with the sure things (assuming health):
Catcher: Will Smith, Austin Barnes
Infield: Freddie Freeman, Miguel Vargas, Gavin Lux, Max Muncy, Miguel Rojas
Outfield: Mookie Betts, Trayce Thompson, Chris Taylor
Designated hitter: JD Martinez
That leaves just two roster spots available, and both of them will probably be set aside for outfielders.
