It is clear that the Dodgers willingness to inject their prospects into their own plans for a championship is demonstrably guarded at best. You look at the success of the Cubs and Astro's where they are committed to playing their youth (granted as much out of necessity as anything). It seems more often than not it is the youngsters that are franchise changers. The old way of feeling the need to "create" a seasoned veteran in the minors just does not seem to be necessary any longer with your most talented prospects, they just need to play everyday, whether it is in the minors or majors. The Dodgers would be playing no worse using Seager and Olivera in the lineup and potentially be much better now AND inthe future. The Rockies refused to wait on Tulo, Blackmon, Arenado, The Braves on Simmons, the Astros on Correa, the Giants on Crawford, the Nats on Rendon, the Cubs on Bryant, Schwarber, Soler, Rizzo, the Cards on Grichuk, Adams, Carpenter. But the Dodgers waited way too long on Puig, having him toil in Chatanooga way too long. In Football you play your best or who will help develop your team to be the best. The Dodgers are reluctant to insert talent, spirit and energy into the lineup to find that right blend of exuberance and experience. The Dodgers are giving away games not just due to a poor bullpen but also a poor offense. The would be wise to follow the lead of the many at this point or run the risk of becoming obsolete.
