After being blessed with a resurgent Daniel Murphy for the previous three seasons, the Washington Nationals had to go searching for a new second baseman this offseason.
With Carter Kieboom still a little way off of being major league ready, Brian Dozier was the ideal one-year candidate. The former Minnesota Twin was hoping to bounce back in the nation’s capital after a down-year in 2018.
Unfortunately, his performances have continued to crater, starting the season with a measly .121/.171/.212 slash line. Despite this lackluster performance, the Nationals are still sticking with him in the second spot in the lineup.
