For a couple of seasons now the Dodgers have had one of the best luxuries in baseball in Chris Taylor and Kiké Hernandez. Both players have been super subs playing all over the field and Kiké even made a pitching appearance last season to save the bullpen in Philadelphia. Now both are set to play even bigger roles in 2019.
Since it’s Los Angeles, the home of Hollywood, this is the equivalent of the two super utility men going from supporting actors to a lead role. With no designated starter at second base, Taylor and Hernandez are set to battle it out in spring training for the “starting” second base role.
