Tommy Edman's ankle injury, and the Dodgers' confirmation that he would not be ready by Opening Day (which fans already knew well before they made it official), has presented the opportunity for what's become a rarity at Dodgers spring training in the past few years: a real, bonafide position battle.
Second base is, for the moment, not promised to any one player, and there are two that could plausibly be in the mix.
Miguel Rojas is guaranteed $5.5 million and a spot on the Opening Day roster this year, but the question is who will platoon or potentially even supersede him to become the Dodgers' everyday second baseman while Edman is on the shelf.
