The Dodgers have been spoiled the last two seasons having Chris Taylor as their Swiss army knife who provided an above average bat along with the versatility to play just about anywhere on the diamond. This season, however, Taylor has gotten off to a slow start in the first month hitting just one home run while posting an OPS of .493.
Off to a slow start, many have been quick to dismiss Taylor who has been a vital part of the Dodgers’ last two World Series runs. Without his spectacular catch in game seven of the NLCS, the Brewers may have gone on to win that game and end the Dodgers’ season before making it back to the World Series.
