Although his time with the Dodgers was short, his impact among his teammates echoed after he was traded for Craig Kimbrel, someone who has been circulating around Dodgers media for the headaches he has been giving.
Justin Turner did not hold back his thoughts on Pollock being shipped away, even reiterating how “sick to his stomach” he felt and also feeling worse about not being able to properly give him a goodbye.
Pollock left a lasting mark in the Dodgers locker room and with his longevity in the league, it’s no question the two correlate. Pollock is now with this third team since entering the league and nine home runs with 43 RBI’s on a .237 batting average.
Pollock is missed in the organization, but it brings a warm heart to the organization knowing Pollock has been able to define the odds and remain in the league for over a decade.
