The Dodgers’ bench was not really very good last year. Matt Beaty hit .270 with a .363 OB% and was a solid role player (204 ABs). So was Austin Barnes, not so much for his bat, but for his defense and game-calling skills. Zach McKinstry, DJ Peters, Luke Raley. Sheldon Neuse, Billy McKinney, and Zach Reks could not jump out of a boat and hit water. Gavin Lux was simply OK. This year, I expect Gavin Lux to take a step forward. If the Dodgers do not make any big acquisitions, Gavin Lux and Chris Taylor will likely share 2B.
Did Andrew Fix the Bench?
