So far, of course.
I'll automatically rule out Buehler. From the reports we've been reading, this isn't so much a surprise as Walker coming into his own. Getting a chance.
1 - Ross Stripling. He's been pitching like Kershaw. Good thing. We don't have Kershaw. Again. 2 - Matt Kemp. Who could have expected this kind of production? He's been a rock. He loafed after Trevor Story's single turned double today though. Don't regress, Matt! 3 - Max Muncy. Wow! Two homeruns today, albeit in a travesty of a ballpark. He's now tied for the team lead in homers.
That's my list. Hope it grows longer.

Without Kemp and Stripling, and to a lesser extent Muncy, the Dodgers would be basement dwellers right now. I remember the FO and much of the fanbase wanted to see Kemp traded but there were those handful of hopefuls hoping that he can regain some of that magic coming back to LA. I'd throw in Pederson in there, as well, as I expected him to be htting near the Mendoza line but shockingly he's been one of our better hitters at .261.

Muncy carrying a line of .272 / .395 / .616 now. I recall one poster who said we may have gotten career years out of guys like Taylor & Bellinger last year. Rather than see the dark cloud lurking behind that silver lining, I asked who we might get career years out of this season. I guess it's Buehler, Muncy, Pederson, Stripling & Goeddel. Big shout out to Kemp & Taylor. Chris has his OB% up to .340.
