2016 Dodgers review: Carl Crawford

Carl Crawford’s final year with the Dodgers came to an early end.

What went right

Crawford made the Dodgers’ opening day roster, started all three games in the opening series in San Diego an was 3-for-10 with a double.

He had a pair of two-hit games in May.

What went wrong

Crawford missed 15 games on the disabled list in April with lower back soreness, his fifth trip to the DL in under four years with the Dodgers. Since joining the Dodgers in August 2012, Crawford was on the DL for 199 of the team’s 579 games (34.4%).

On the season, Crawford hit just .185/.230/.235 in 30 games and 87 plate appearances.

Crawford was designated for assignment on June 5, then was released on June 13, with nearly $34 million remaining on his contract.
