As we gear up for the Dodgers' Opening Day in Tokyo, the center field position is once again a hot topic of discussion. With Mookie Betts sidelined and the team looking to fill the void, manager Dave Roberts has hinted at the possibility of Andy Pages stepping into the spotlight. This raises some intriguing questions for us as fans and analysts of the game.

First off, how do you feel about the Dodgers' decision to start Pages in center field? Given his fluctuating performance last season, can he truly be relied upon as an everyday player? Or do you think the Dodgers should explore other options, perhaps even making a trade for a more established player?

Moreover, with the center field position becoming a revolving door since Cody Bellinger's departure, what does this say about the Dodgers' roster management? Are they taking a risk by relying on young talent like Pages and James Outman, or is this a strategic move to develop their prospects?

And let's not forget the bold predictions! With the competition heating up, do you think Pages will rise to the occasion and solidify his spot, or will we see another player emerge as the unexpected hero in Tokyo?

Lastly, how do you see the absence of Mookie Betts impacting the team's dynamics and performance in this crucial series against the Cubs?

Join the conversation and share your thoughts! What are your expectations for the Dodgers this season, and how do you think they will navigate the challenges ahead?
