Final Thoughts

The Dodgers are in a position for a big season, and with that come large expectations. World Series are won with pitching, and the Dodgers are well-positioned in the arms race to contend for the big prize.

The organization compiled the depth necessary to put manager Dave Roberts and pitching coach Rick Honeycutt in position to succeed. The top of the rotation has proven to be reliable, and in the case of Kershaw – dominant.

Next: What Will Become Of Yasiel Puig?

The remaining pieces will need to fortify to enable the Dodgers to overtake the Cubs and the National League, so spring training performances will foreshadow the season and determine the outcome of the Dodgers starting rotation for 2017.
