"Rather than having to have a backup at every position, you can maybe have three or four backups who cover everybody," Los Angeles GM Farhan Zaidi told reporters this week. "We definitely have tried to create that versatility on our roster and placed a premium on it, and I think every other team views it the same way. It's not easy to get those guys, but when you can get a player who can perform offensively and comes with defensive versatility, it really creates a lot of added layers of protection for you over the course of a long season."
