If there’s one main, recurring theme we keep hearing about the Los Angeles Dodgers, it’s undeniably the concept of player depth. There are some fans who may actually be growing tired of the term, but it’s definitely one of the primary reasons the club has succeeded so much in recent years.
No question, there’s certainly a difference between being deep enough to cover all positions and having quality player depth. Probably the full bench of the Dodgers would be capable starters for almost any club in baseball. We’ve seen a prime example of this with the Los Angeles starting rotation, as there are at least two members of the current bullpen crew who would be bonafide starting pitchers for another team.
