    @ RAMS FAN & Just the Facts: Chris Taylor needs to shorten his swing and make contact; he would be of better use to the Dodgers if he got on base more often and utilized his speed. And, yes, Taylor can play anywhere in the outfield as well as at second, third, or shortstop.

    Taylor($20 mil) versatility vs Heyward ($8 mil) outfield only
    Taylor K’s vs Heyward’s ground ball to second possible DP
    Both batting averages less than .222
    Hate the choice but understand the reasoning

    #3 The decisions the Dodgers make are just astounding sometimes. Chris Taylor hasn’t hit his weight in 2 years.
