Entering Monday, the Dodgers have the best record in baseball and are a virtual lock for the postseason. Despite being the best team in baseball, the potential playoff roster for the club remains wide open. The bullpen, in particular, remains a wide-open competition that will rage on for the last two months of the season.
One dark horse candidate to make the Dodgers’ postseason bullpen is southpaw Victor Gonzalez. Gonzalez was signed back in 2012 at the age of 16 at the same time that the blue signed Julio Urias and Yasiel Puig. Legendary Dodger scout Mike Brito, who was responsible for finding Fernando Valenzuela, was the scout who also brought in Urias and Gonzalez.
