With five weeks remaining before pitchers and catchers begin filing into the clubhouse at Camelback Ranch, there’s still a bit of time remaining for the Dodgers to enhance their player roster with a prospective trade or free agent signing. However, when considering the players who are available right now, the club remains one of the most formidable powerhouses in the National League, although building a squad to succeed deep into the playoffs is a completely different story.
We’ll start hypothetically pairing down the 40-man roster into 26 players in a few weeks. In the meantime, I though it would be a good idea to look at a few of the fringe players, specifically Matt Beaty and the potential role he will play during the upcoming season.
