The third baseman’s departure via free agency leaves this year’s team without a clear leader, but many believe there are plenty of candidates to fill the void
GLENDALE, Ariz. – As he drove to Arizona for the start of spring training, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts listened to a book on tape – “No Time for Spectators” by Martin Dempsey, a former general and past chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“When you don’t see No. 10 walking through, it’s a little weird for these guys. I can only imagine,” Freeman said of Turner’s departure. “Is a team leader the person who is going to be the voice for the media after every game? So the perception is he’s leading the club?” Roberts said. “Or is the team leader going to be the person who is going to hold a meeting when a meeting might need to be called? Or is a team leader a person who does everything the right way so people follow him?”““I think for me it’s just by example,” he said. “That’s how you do it, how you perform day in and day out. We have a lot of guys who do that.
Nonetheless, he is one of the names Freeman brings up as capable of filling any void left behind by Turner. “To me … everybody should be a leader in their own right. So, if it was gonna be like, Mookie’s gonna do it – to put that pressure on someone, it just needs to happen organically. I don’t think Justin came in here and said he was going to be a leader in 2014. It just happens, you know? So, if we’re going to stand up here and say, ‘I’m going to do it, you’re going to do it.’ That’s just not usually how it works.
