Josh Fields might be the late-inning reliever the Dodgers need
Photo by: Stacie WheelerWhile the Dodgers don’t have a bullpen tandem like what the Clevelands have in Cody Allen and Andrew Miller, there might not be a better reliever in the game than Kenley Jansen right now. But they also have another guy who is off to a fantastic start this season.
This is a Josh Fields appreciation post.
Fields, who didn’t crack the opening day roster because he still had a minor-league option, has been the second-best short-reliever in the bullpen behind Jansen (Ross Stripling has been the second-most valuable Dodger reliever overall).
In 13 1/3 innings, Fields has seen his numbers in some of the most important categories go in the right direction from last season.
