"I'm thankful I was kind of forced to step into that role when I got traded to the Dodgers. I was always very stubborn to be a shortstop and a shortstop only, and with Corey Seager there, that wasn't really an option. So it kind of forced my hand to learn how to play outfield and play all over the field, and I think that's been the best thing for my career and it's really kept me on the field each and every year." - Chris Taylor, via Dodgers Nation YouTube
That's one of the traits that makes Taylor such a great teammate. He did right by the team, listened to coaches, and has come up clutch on both sides for the Boys in Blue. If Taylor was a selfish teammate, he might not have been given a long enough leash to grace Dodger fans with his web gems and big moments - to say nothing of a four-year, $60 million contract.
