MLB finally released their midseason top 100 prospect list and six Dodgers made the top 100 list. 

• Walker Buehler at 13 – preseason rank was 93 – big jump
• Alex Verdugo at 28 – preseason rank was 61 – big jump
• Yadier Alvarez at 51 – preseason rank was 49 – not much movement
• Willie Calhoun at 71 – preseason rank was 82 – some movement
• Jeren Kendall at 86 – Not Ranked in Preseason, just drafted
• Yusniel Diaz at 89 – Not Ranked in Preseason – so big jump

I’ll have a post up later comparing the midseason ranking to the preseason ranking.  Cody Bellinger fell off the list with his promotion and Jeren Kendall popped right onto it.

With the trading deadline looming, and Yu Darvish name in play, some of these would need to go to make that happen. At least Jeren Kendall can rest assured he will still be in the Dodger organization after the trading deadline passes.

I don’t see a name on the list that I’d really regret if the return was Yu Darvish.
