LOS ANGELES — There are no shortage of stars in Hollywood, from the streets of Rodeo Drive to the Walk of Fame all the way to, and down through, the Dodgers’ star-studded bench at Chavez Ravine.
And a quick comparison between the seasoned subs for the Dodgers and the largely unproven subs for the Rockies in Monday’s series opener says a lot about the drastically different construction of each team.
Los Angeles’ bench featured Matt Kemp (three-time all-star), David Freese (World Series MVP), Bryan Dozier (all-star acquired at the deadline), Chase Utley (four-time all-star, potential Hall of Famer) and Chris Taylor (last year’s NLCS MVP).
