The Los Angeles Dodgers have started its season on a slow pace, but with 14 games in the new 2010 MLB season and going 7-7 in them, the Dodgers look to its sluggers to lead them into the playoffs again.
Matt Kemp, center fielder, has been explosive in the early season, in the last 10 games, he has blown away seven baseballs over the fence for seven home runs.
Andre Ethier, right fielder, has contributed alongside Kemp, having four home runs and a walk off game winning hit thus far in the season.
Manny Ramirez, left fielder, has been batting .432, with a pinch hit two-run home run and multiple runs based in.
The three players have been caring most of the load for the Dodgers, with the role players like James Loney, Russel Martin and Casey Blake adding on the extra small stats that don't show up on the stat sheet.
The big bats must continue for the Dodgers if they want to make another chase to make the world series this year.
A reason why the big bats have to stay the way it has been for the first 14 games, because the Dodgers pitching is unreliable.
With a decent starting five rotation and a lousy bullpen, the Dodgers have to rely on its hits and runs to win ball games.
