  1. Andre Ethier, Left Field

While I could see Ethier hitting 6th in the lineup. It’s really going to depend on who’s on the mound that day.

We’re dealing with a limited sample size for Ethier as he was sidelined for most of the season with a broken leg. But Ethier is an 11-year veteran so you know what you can expect from him. Ethier doesn’t really hit for power anymore, but almost always offers professional at-bats. The Dodgers could use that at the bottom of the order.

Projected Stat Line:

.260/8 Home Runs/40 RBI/40 Runs Scored
