As we gear up for the Dodgers' Opening Day in Japan, there's a lot to unpack regarding the team's current roster and injury concerns. Will Smith's ongoing ankle issue raises questions about his readiness for the season. How do you think this will impact the Dodgers' lineup? Should they consider resting him longer to ensure he’s fully healthy, or is it crucial to have him on the field, even at less than 100%?

On the pitching front, Dustin May seems to be in the driver's seat for the No. 5 starter spot. With the competition heating up, what are your thoughts on May's potential? Can he reclaim his form and solidify his place in the rotation, or do you think the Dodgers should explore other options?

And let’s not forget about Shohei Ohtani. Dave Roberts has expressed confidence that Ohtani will return as the same dominant pitcher post-surgery. Do you believe that’s realistic? What are your expectations for Ohtani this season, especially considering his injury history?

Lastly, with the Dodgers making significant roster moves and young talent emerging, what bold predictions do you have for the team this season? Will they make a deep playoff run, or are there too many uncertainties? Let’s hear your thoughts!
