Dayton Moore recently reiterated his desire to add a left-handed bat, most likely through free agency. With spring training beginning just a month from now, there still remain a number of quality options, including Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson. Fresh off a World Series title, could the left-handed slugger bring his bat to Kansas City?
Joc grew up in Palo Alto in Northern California and was selected by the Dodgers in the 11th round of the 2010 draft out of high school. He turned down an offer from USC to play for the organization that his dad, Stu Pederson, had spent most of his professional career playing for in the minors, with a brief cup of coffee in 1985.
