PT TOMORROW: NL West—Too many OFs in LA?

Los Angeles Dodgers

LA enters 2016 with the division's deepest outfield, and there are still several playing time questions to be answered. Yasiel Puig (OF, LA), who was recently featured in a Facts/Flukes column, has an everyday role and will be joined by Andre Ethier (OF, LA) and Joc Pederson (OF, LA) against right-handed pitching.

Our 2016 projections, sorted by AB, are shown below:
