In what seems like an annual theme, the Dodgers find themselves with an outfield “problem.”   Puig is going to start in right and Pederson will be patrolling center. The issue that Dave Roberts is faced with, is who starts in left?

The strength of this Dodgers team lies in its depth. With a deep roster like this one, difficult roster decisions have to be made. Between Toles, Ethier, Gutierrez, Van Slyke, and Thompson the Dodgers have some choices to make within the next month. 

I’ll break down the best options for Dave Roberts in left field.
