Los Angeles Dodgers: What the Dodgers should do with a crowded outfield

3. Enrique Hernandez becomes platoon second baseman, Chris Taylor becomes a platoon outfielder, Cody Bellinger primarily plays first base

Two players that also add to the outfield equation are Enrique Hernandez and Chris Taylor. Both guys can play virtually any position on the diamond with Hernandez literally playing every single position at the big league level other than catcher.

Both guys are extremely valuable in their roles and would be everyday players on most MLB teams. However, on the deep Dodgers, Dave Roberts and company should utilize the two when the matchups are right.

For Hernandez, he should see most of his time next season as a second base platoon with slugger Max Muncy. While he will see playing time elsewhere due to natural days off, his main role should be as the second baseman against southpaws in 2019.

As for Taylor, he should fill in as the true fourth outfielder that can provide a different outlook against southpaws for both Verdugo and Puig, if the matchup warrants it. Again, he could also play infield, but he should primarily be an outfielder.

As for Cody Bellinger, he is currently listed as the center fielder on the Los Angeles Dodgers depth chart but that should not hold. While Max Muncy and David Freese can also play first, Bellinger should only play center field in late-game situations if a double switch warrants it or if the outfield begins to run thin.

The outfield should not run thin often, though, with the inclusion of this man.
