Dodgers: Breaking Down the Spring Training Position Battles

The 2018 Dodgers have very few holes and are mostly the 2017 National League Pennant winning Dodgers with a few exceptions.

There are three areas of the team that will have some competition in spring training:  left field, the bench, and of course, the bullpen.  Also, there are a couple of players on the 40-man roster who are out of minor league options who will have to impress this spring to stay on the Dodgers major league roster.

In past years there is usually noise about spring training battles for various positions, openings in the starting rotation, high priced veterans who may or may not be healthy, and several out of options players.  This spring should be relatively quiet with the notable exceptions below.
