Dodgers had 37 OFers and Roberts love to platoon. I think you can assume the odds of him playing more than 125 games are significantly greater on a team with fewer outfielders.

He also missed 16 games(and lucky it wasn't more) to injury in July, and then had a 2 game suspension. So that's 18 games there he missed.

Your nit picking doesn't refute anything I wrote.

That means his maximum number of games would have been 144. And there are always days built in off. Puig is injury prone, and his numbers the last 4 years have really tailed off.

And I love how you think injuries are nit picking. They aren't..... Not only from the actual games he missed, but also when you return from the injury, you always get some days built in off when you first return. The injuries as much as the platooning had to do with the only 125 games.

I think your focus on "Puig's missed games means the Dodgers can't move him" is nit picking. You're obviously missing the bigger picture here, not to mention the fact that teams ignore injury history ALL THE ******* TIME for guys they think have potential.

And full disclosure: I freaking love Yasiel Puig and would much rather the Dodgers figure a way to move Pederson and/or Kemp than Puig.
