D-backs:
In an era of extreme bullpen specialization, of 12- and 13-man pitching
staffs, the trend is toward super-versatile bench players. The D-backs have
gone the other way. They’re carrying three catchers, and more notably, using
them all.
Yes, you do sometimes see a club carry a third catcher, but often he’s an
emergency option, or alternately somebody who isn’t really a catcher but a
bat. Arizona uses all three guys. They rotate. With Alex Avila on the injured
list, four players have started at least two games behind the plate.
It’s not a straight rotation like with pitchers ... but it’s not totally
different either. That allows extra game planning for the catcher who is
starting the next day to work extensively with that game’s starter.
蛇蛇: 三捕手
如今牛棚角色越來越吃重的情況下 12~13投+板凳工具人是聯盟趨勢
但蛇蛇不一樣 他們帶了三捕手 而且全部都有在輪
其中一個捕手Avila受傷並沒有改變這個情況

Dodgers:
Maybe this one isn’t such a secret, but it’s absolutely essential. It’s
the combination of depth and versatility that the Los Angeles front office
has amassed.
Injuries to three key members of the starting rotation? No problem. Julio
Urias, Ross Stripling and Caleb Ferguson step in. Oh, by the way, all three
of those guys can shuffle back to help in the bullpen once the rotation gets
healthy.
Bellinger needs to miss a day or two? Alex Verdugo slots right in. Bellinger
isn’t at full strength when he comes back? No worries, he can play first.
Max Muncy has started games at first, second, and third this year. Chris
Taylor has started at second, short, and in center. Enrique Hernandez started
at seven positions last year.
躲人: 陣容深度
傷了三個先發? 我們有 Urias, Stripling, Ferguson 可以補上
傷了Bellinger? 我們有Verdugo可以補上
Muncy可以守一壘二壘三壘 CT3可以守二遊中外
Kike去年有在7個不同的位置先發
Giants:
Remember all the concerns about the Giants’ outfield over the offseason, and
even through the spring? Well, they didn’t sign a big-name free agent, and
there are still concerns about the offense from the group. But in one key
way, San Francisco definitely did upgrade
