The platoon idea has been something that has irked Dodgers fans for years. The idea of rotation guys in and out of the lineup based on which pitcher was in the game that day has bit Dave Roberts in the past, but it’s also worked.
With Joc Pederson leaving Los Angeles via free agency, those days were thought to be over in left field. The general consensus was that the Dodgers would go with AJ Pollock as often as possible and that would be that.
But in a media call on Wednesday, it sure sounded like Dave Roberts is open to multiple guys out there.
