The Dodgers’ have every position, but left field set for the upcoming season but left field. Last year, it was their biggest weakness regarding positional players. This season, it is the same story again. The most prominent candidates for the position are Joc Pederson, Kike Hernandez, and the injured Andrew Toles.
Pederson, although coming off an excellent World Series, had a miserable 2017 regular season. One where he was demoted to the minors. And a great World Series doesn’t, and shouldn’t, deter our attention from the fact that he was horrible. Remeber, postseasons are small sample sizes, and anyone can get hot so we should not let 20 plate appearances outweigh 323 other ones.
