Dodgers Roundtable: Lesser Known Impact Players

Last year, the Dodgers got unexpected performances from Enrique Hernandez and Mike Bolsinger that played a huge part in them winning the West for a third consecutive year. This year, I’d keep an eye on Austin Barnes and Frankie Montas.

Amanda wrote about Barnes here, and it’s just so weird seeing a versatile utilityman that can play catcher (and play it fairly well). He’s got a great eye at the plate and enough pop, especially if he sticks at catcher. His value with the Dodgers could be similar to Hernandez, filling in around the infield (especially at third, where Justin Turner is recovering from injury and shouldn’t be trusted to play every game).
