5. Yasmani Grandal Drives in Eight Runs with two homeruns against the Brewers in Milwaukee.

Peanut butter and apples.

When Andrew Friedman and Farhan Zaidi traded Matt Kemp for Yasmani Grandal this offseason, it was perhaps one of the most hotly contested and analyzed trades in Dodger history. Losing the one-time Dodger franchise player Matt Kemp to their N.L. West competitors in San Diego seemed costly. It not only was costly financially, but it was negating some precious power from the right side as well for the Dodgers. Yasmani Grandal had baggage, and many still question his past mistakes instead of giving him the chance to start a new chapter in his career with Los Angeles.

The Dodgers have been hard pressed to find a solid catcher for many years, and I should not have to remind you of Drew Butera, Miguel Olivo, Jason Phillips, Rod Barajas, Tim Federowicz, Dioner Navarro amongst others. Yasmani Grandal’s excellent frame pitching and power potential should not only add an advantageous layer to the Dodgers pitching staff but also some much-needed production from the catching position.
