The outfield situation began to figure itself out last week when Darin Ruf was sold to the Samsung Lions of the Korea Baseball Organization. While he wasn’t projected to play a big role for the Dodgers, he was basically a worse version of Scott Van Slyke, which made him redundant.
Despite that, how the Dodgers’ outfield will play out this spring is anything but clear. The only player assured a spot in the opening day lineup is Joc Pederson. He’s the only true center fielder on the roster and the Dodgers will probably be facing a right-handed pitcher to begin the season (not that it should matter anyway).
