3 LAD make MLB’s Prospect Team of the Week
Jonathan Mayo of MLB puts out an interesting weekly segment that they call Prospect Team of the Week. This comes from http://www.mlbpipeline.com which is new to me and is simply mapped to http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/news/prospects/index.jsp. For this week, three Dodger prospects made the weekly team. To qualify for the team you must be on the MLB top 30 …
Rancho pitchers cooling off Cal league
or a league known for offense, the big three starting pitchers of the Quakes in the Cal league have yet to give up an earned run in twenty-three innings. Walker Buehler, Mitchell White, and Dennis Santana have been superb through the first two weeks of the year. Plus, the Dodgers top ranked pitching prospect Yadier …
Jacob Rhame and AJ Alexy join MLB LAD top 30 prospects
Just noticed the updated MLB LAD top 30 prospect list. Andrew Toles who had been ranked 9th before spring training was removed, and Austin Barnes who was ranked 11th was removed. I’m guessing because they are on the MLB LAD roster. Everyone moved up two spots, and they added Jacob Rhame at 29, and AJ …

Buehler and Bellinger deliver
Many things went right last night but ultimately the Cubs and Jon Lester came out on top once again. For Dodger fans, most of Monday was spent watching the Cubs take what seemed like hours to celebrate their 2016 World Championship, and then defeat the Dodgers in a walk off. With the big club struggling, …
LAD System POTW – 4/10/17
Dodgers: Pitching – I’m going with Hyun-Jin Ryu simply because he made his first start in Coors, and no one really thought he’d ever get there. He didn’t win his game but he pitched well enough to win and more importantly, he looks very much like the Ryu who was the best number three starter in …
OK O’Koyea
Cody Bellinger, Willie Calhoun, Rob Segedin, Edwin Rios, and Alex Verdugo will have to wait their turn because this weeks LAD Farm Factory award goes to O’Koyea Dickson who out muscled every hitter in the system. O’Koyea started hitting with authority last May and has yet to stop. He hit all summer. He he hit …
Mitch White coming out party
The spring has been a buzz with what Mitch White brought to the Dodger banquet of all worldly pitching prospects and yesterday he showed major league hitters what might be in store for them in future. You would think that a 20-year-old phenom would still be the talk of the town, but Julio Urias is …
Mitch White impresses Keith Law
A couple of notes on Mitch White and Julio Urias. Typically the Dodgers do poorly with second round picks but they may have gotten a gem this time. Keith Law chimed in on what he saw this week: White went with the 65th overall pick in that draft, but if teams redrafted today, he …
