Now that a full week has passed since the Dodgers began their 2017 Cactus League campaign, we thought it may be a good time to revisit several of the roster battles that we’ve been discussing since the squad began taking shape earlier in the winter.
Yet before we dive directly into those specific competitions, it’s probably best to layout all the spots on the team that are viewed as locks, if only for the sake of painting a clearer picture of the 25-man roster’s landscape.
Starting with the infield, Justin Turner, Corey Seager, Logan Forsythe and Adrian Gonzalez are certainly locks, and will compose the nucleus of the team’s attacks both offensively and defensively.
