The objective is to help the player; to allow him to work on his game, away from the big city spotlight, and provide a change of scenery. Were the Dodgers to option Joc Pederson to the Pacific Coast League for what could be as little as 10 days, they'd be making a move to improve the club's chances in October. In other words, opportunity knocks, which is what Joc needs to do. But it's now or never, sports fans, because the Oklahoma City Dodgers are running out of season. It's the perfect time to switch roster spots, AGon for Joc, with the center fielder catching a plane on the Dodgers' day off Thursday, and his position being manned by Chris Taylor and Kiké Hernandez in the interim.
