The Dodgers and Andrew Friedman had an interesting off-season. Friedman lost Farhan Zaidi as the Dodgers’ general manager and then Andrew shipped Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp to Cincinnati in a move that many thought foreshadowed the possible signing of Bryce Harper. Instead, the Dodgers signed A.J. Pollock to a four-year contract with a player option for a fifth season.
The biggest knock on Pollock was that he is injury prone. While there is no doubt A.J. has missed a large number of games in his career, most of them have been of the freak variety.
