Dodgers 2016 profile: Yasiel Puig

Most dynamic Dodger, with the widest range of possible outcomes.

Question

Which Puig will the Dodgers see in 2016?

Puig was not Puig in 2015, felled by a series of nagging injuries plus major ones as well. He missed over a month for each hamstring strain he had last season, one in each leg. He was limited to 79 games, hitting just .255/.322/.436 with 11 home runs.

Now, it's important to note that the reduced Puig was still an above-average player, posting a 109 OPS+ and 111 wRC+ while diminished. But he was nowhere near the dynamic player he showed in 2013-2014 (151 OPS+, 152 wRC+).
