General manager Farhan Zaidi has already publicly stated the Dodgers are set at second base with Chase Utley and Enrique Hernandez. Fans and others wonder whether bringing Howie Kendrick back would be a prudent move. I tend to side with Zaidi and the front office on this one.
A healthy Utley platooning with a destroyer of lefties like Hernandez could provide better production than what Kendrick provided in 2015, when he was about a league-average player at 2.1 wins above replacement. His 109 wRC+ was slightly above-average, but his defense suffered substantially.
