After coming within two wins of the World Series last season, the Los Angeles Dodgers decided not to mess with something promising. Most of the team's offseason moves were minor deals that bolstered the bullpen or back end of the starting rotation.

Aside from the loss of second baseman Mark Ellis to free agency and the return of center fielder Matt Kemp from injury, the 2014 Dodgers' lineup will look relatively similar to the one that last year blasted through the summer on its way to winning the National League West for the first time in four years.

Assuming general manager Ned Colletti enters the season with the ultimate insurance of keeping four elite outfielders on the roster in Carl Crawford, Matt Kemp, Yasiel Puig and Andre Ethier, the starting lineup shapes up to be one of the most formidable in baseball.

The following slides will take a look around the diamond to see what the Boys in Blue have in store for 2014, both offensively and defensively.
