On this episode of “Dugout Blues,” Jared Massey (Dodger Blue) and I are very excited for the start of the 2017 season.
The final roster spots were determined, and there weren’t a ton of big surprises. It was exciting to see Hyun-Jin Ryu earn a rotation spot, but it’s also wise to be cautious about his chances to stick there the entire season. Enrique Hernandez beat out Chris Taylor for the last roster spot — a backup infielder/outfielder spot — while Scott Van Slyke bested Trayce Thompson.
