Why Eddie Rosario Could Earn Dodgers Roster Spot

Comparatively, Outman, Pages, and Taylor have struggled at the plate, with all three striking out multiple times and recording only one or two hits each. While spring training statistics are limited in sample size, Rosario’s ability to drive in runs and make an immediate impact at the plate is an encouraging sign.

Rosario's biggest challenge is his positional versatility or lack thereof. Despite his struggles at the plate last season, Taylor remains a valuable utility player capable of playing multiple infield and outfield positions.

The Dodgers' front office has historically prioritized such versatility. Additionally, Taylor is owed $15 million this season, making it difficult for the organization to justify cutting ties with him.

However, if Rosario continues his strong play, he could force the Dodgers' hand. Given the team’s emphasis on depth and offensive production, there is a path for Rosario to make the Opening Day roster, especially if Outman or Pages fail to impress.

Ultimately, Rosario’s ability to provide left-handed power and veteran experience could give him the edge in what is shaping up to be a competitive spring battle.
