Logan Forsythe
The Dodgers had a huge hole to fill at second base. Logan Forsythe was needed for a lot more than just being a right-handed bat to add to the lineup. Dodgers acquired him through a trade with the Rays, by giving up a top prospect, Jose De Leon. Forsythe’s addition is good for a couple reasons.
Dodgers will finally have a true leadoff hitter. They’ve tried to use Joc Pederson and Chase Utley the last two seasons. But neither of these guys were ever meant to be leadoff hitters. Every start Forsythe made last season was as a leadoff hitter.
