Still, for the 10 seasons from 1995-2004, Leiter was a durable, excellent starter with a 123 ERA-plus, two All-Star games, a sixth-place and ninth-place Cy Young finish and the reputation of someone who could handle a big game. Nolan Arenado’s numbers at the plate have declined this season with the Cardinals, as has his typically all-world defense at third base.Arenado’s OPS is down from .891 last year, when he finished third for NL MVP, to .786.

Francisco Lindor has homers and defense, but a .221 average. Philadelphia’s Trea Turner only recently has hinted at his upside, yet his overall OPS is .692. San Diego’s Xander Bogaerts has been the opposite of Turner — after a few brilliant weeks to begin the season, Bogaerts’ slash line was .218/.299/.313 in 47 games since April 26.The Dodgers completed the weekend with 57 players they signed to their first pro contracts having appeared in the majors this year.
