Los Angeles Dodgers fans have many reasons to be excited for the 2015 MLB season, but these five stick out the most.

Outfielder Joc Pederson is expected to have a stellar MLB career, and this undoubtedly came into play when the Los Angeles Dodgers traded Matt Kemp over the offseason. Now, the job is Pederson's, so Dodgers fans should be incredibly excited to see the youngster throughout his rookie campaign.

Don Mattingly still has his hands full with Yasiel Puig, but the departure of Hanley Ramirez and Matt Kemp should lead to a much happier clubhouse in 2015.

Yasiel Puig is still just 24 years old heading into his third MLB season. However, typically the third season of a star's career is when he finally begins to blend some maturity into the talent he possesses. If Puig remains focused, he'll be unstoppable.

Jimmy Rollins was recently quoted as saying "I feel like I can finally be myself" about being with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Howie Kendrick is still only 31 years old and has plenty of baseball left in him. Kendrick's been one of MLB's most underappreciated players over the course of the past five years, so when the Dodgers acquired him over the offseason, the move wasn't greeted with much applause from the Dodgers' faithful. That will change in a hurry once the season starts.
