More minor league re-assignments
The Dodgers cleaned up their house again on Monday afternoon moving six more players to minor league camp and releasing one. They now have 38 in major league camp.
Mark Lowe was given his release.

Dodgers who are en fuego
First the hitters. Even though Keibert only has nine at-bats I wanted to include him because six for nine with only two strikeouts in his first taste of major league camp is outstanding. Estevez got no love from anybody when prospect lists were announced but he played a solid 2nd/SS and picked up four hits in only eight at-bats.
The king of the spring so far has been Kyle Farmer who has been on base twelve times in just twenty-two plate appearances and leads the team with an OPS of 1.45 for players with double-digit at-bats. Farmer is doing his best to push himself onto the roster but he faces an uphill battle because of the short bench. Lot of talk this spring that Farmer worked on creating flexibility with his hips to help with his catching but maybe it has also paid off with his bat. He has looked great at the plate. For a guy who can catch and play 3rd base, he’d be a nice piece on the bench.
Matt Kemp leads the team in home runs and sports a robust 1.43 OPS.
Andrew Toles is having a great spring with an OPS of 1.11 but he has struck out nine times in only 28 plate appearances with just one walk.
Jake Peter has slowed just a bit but his bat has been making big sounds this spring with three booming home runs. Maybe we got him cheap because of his defense, as yesterday he let an easy ground ball go right through his wickets. Still, hard to figure on why Chase is here with a player like Jake Peter. He’s left-handed, cheap, plays 2nd/3rd. Seems like more of a bench person than Chase but you know, Chase has those intangibles.
Kiké Hernandez is picking up right where he left off against the Cubs last October. Power and patience as he is second on the team in walks with six. Hernandez has played a lot of shortstop this spring as Seager gets his arm ready, and he has looked good. Matt Kemp is messing up the storyline of Hernandez being the right-handed side of a left-field platoon.
Chris Taylor leads the team in walks with eight which is exactly what the Doctor ordered for a leadoff man. Chris did not make this list because the cutoff was an OPS of 1.00 and he was only at .957.

Onto the pitchers. Walker Buehler is the talk of the spring right now after his brilliant two inning stint the other day but that could change quickly. Font was the talk until he made his 3rd appearance. Walker has made only one appearance so far.
Pat Venditte is always the most intriguing player in any camp as the two-way pitcher is as unique a pitcher as there is in baseball, but this spring he has also been an outstanding pitcher. He is tied with the team lead in strikeouts with 10 sporting an excellent K/BB ratio of 10 to 1. Hard to see a spot for Venditte but he’ll be ready in OKC if one shows up.
Moran has already been re-assigned to minor league camp but he did everything he could do while pitching in games this spring. The lefty showed fantastic control and is ready to be the Dodger loogy if they need one.
Rich Hill usually struggles in the spring but he’s been outstanding so far.
J Chargois joined the team right after spring training started and I fail to see how the Twins didn’t have a spot for him. He looks good. Josh Fields is lucky that Chargois has some options left.
Matt Culver made this list and is still in major league camp but he’s only thrown four innings. Those four have been just about perfect.

2018 Spring Roster re-assignments to minor league camp
The fun time is over and as the Dodgers get closer to opening day it was time to move the players from major league camp to minor league camp so that players expected to have a shot at making the opening day roster could get more playing time.
All of the players in the table below have been re-assigned to minor league camp but they could still see time in spring games if they are needed.
The big surprise to me was Brock Stewart being re-assigned so early. I didn’t see a way for him to make the roster because he has options and others do not but I thought he’d last longer on the major league side. I guess this way he can start getting starts in the minor league games, something they couldn’t do with him on the major league side. Same with Dennis Santana who certainly opened some eyes this spring. I expect this will be the last minor league camp that Dennis Santana and Brock Stewart are part of.
I broke the players into three groups.
The first group are NRI players who I think could help the team this summer. Brian Moran was impressive and the independent league refugee looked like he has the repertoire to be a Loogy even though his history is spotty. Moran struck out nine with zero walks. The other nine pitchers that were re-assigned walked 21 and struck out 20. Brock Stewart would be one of the top pitchers on the starting rotation depth chart. Henry Owens has a lot of work to do to get another chance at a major league gig. He is being moved to the bullpen for now as he starts the transition to the next Andrew Miller.
The second group are the prospects. Keibert Ruiz looked every bit the Dodgers best position prospect banging out hit after hit. Edwin Rios has no place to play, and may end up with the Willie Calhoun path this summer. His bat looks strong but being blocked by Bellinger at his best position and probably not able to handle 3rd on a full-time basis it will be hard to picture him with a major league job on the Dodgers when the team expects to carry thirteen pitchers. Same might be said for Matt Beatty. I would not be surprised to see Dennis Santana this summer as either a bullpen piece or emergency starter. DJ Peters showed off his power and Diaz looks like a major league outfielder but this is just no spot for them this year and maybe not even next year. Alex Verdugo is still on the major league side but he should be joining them shortly.
The other group is called NTBHFA (Never to be heard from again) and I don’t mean to be mean, but I don’t think any of them will see the majors with the Dodgers. I wish them all the best but they have long odds to beat.

At Common Space Brewery, dreams do come true
All of us have dreams, but how many of us take a risky plunge to make that dream come true? Brent Knapp had a good job but he had been dreaming of his own micro-brewery, so several years ago he put in place the mechanisms to make his dream come true. This involved quitting his job a year ago, finding investors, finding the ideal location, and of course finding a brewmaster.
This came to fruition last week when his Common Space Brewery had their grand opening. A group of old TrueBlueLA friends got together last week to try out his new brews. I tried his PILSNER 006, DRY HOPPED HELLES 010B, and the LIME LAGER 009. With me were David Young, Craig Minami, Hollywood Joe, Josie (who also works there), Matthew, and Josh. I’m not a beer connoisseur but I enjoyed each of them, with the Pilsner being my favorite. Brent told me his opening day blew the door off of expectations and hopefully, this will continue for him and his investors. I’ll be kicking myself for not being able to be one of those investors. Not for the capital accumulation of such an investment, but just because how cool it would have been to be an investor in a micro-brewery.
I met Brent via True Blue LA, a Dodger based blog that I used to write for. Since that time we have played baseball together, softball together, and gone to Dodger games. When he first told me his dream was to open a micro-brewery I shrugged it off. I have heard many a dream from many folk, but rarely (Jay Stalling is one) does it turn into reality. I didn’t know Brent that well, or I would have taken his talk more seriously.
He dreamed it, he did it. A big Woo Hoo to him for making his dream come true.
The Common Space Brewery is located in Hawthorne just a few blocks from a Metro stop at Crenshaw via the green line and is ideally located right next to Space X so it can quell the thirst of many a rocket scientist who needs a respite from the mind-numbing work they do. The beer vats are splendiferous in sparkling silver as you enter from the back with multiple common space tables set up for your drinking enjoyment. Food is provided by food trucks. They are a Spectrum customer so all Dodger games will be on full display, so if you need a Dodger place to hang out, and you live on the Westside or below this should be a go-to place for you.
Unfortunately for me, it is almost thirty miles away so I won’t be frequenting it as often as my good friend Dave Young will be who works just a few blocks away. I used Uber Pool to make the trip and it took a good two hours to get there. I was lucky enough to have David Young give me a ride home. Maybe I’ll use that tactic a few more times. Just don’t tell David.
Rotation update
The Dodger rotation is the strength of the team and unlike many years it comes into spring with everyone healthy. Not only are the top five rotation options healthy but everyone except Julio Urias is also healthy.
Which is a good thing because the team doesn’t go as deep this year as they have in the past. No longer on the depth chart are Scott Kazmir, Brandon McCarthy and Trevor Oaks. The depth this year belongs almost solely to young pitchers instead of recycling major league retreads.
If any of the top five go down, the options are all wild cards. Stripling, Stewart, Font all could be credible back end rotation starters but none are someone you want to replace Kershaw if he needs to miss another two months this summer.
Also, four of the five top options have all had numerous health issues over the past several seasons so you have to expect some or all of them to miss some time this summer.
As you know I like Wilmer Font but I like him as someone who can take his starter skills and pitch well out of the bullpen. I’m not nearly as confident he can succeed as a major league starter but with the starters only expected to go through a lineup twice a game, maybe he can.
I also like Brock Stewart as someone who can fill out a rotation.
Ross Stripling should be able to do the same.
Not long ago Henry Owens pitched for the Red Sox and was considered a prize prospect. Now he’s just a wild ass lefty who has to learn something from the Dodger coaches and turn that into something before his career careens over the cliff. So far this spring he has not had success but hopefully he can still get something going. I’m holding out hope that he will piss of Red Sox fans at some point this summer.
Walker Buehler is expected to help in the rotation this summer. Dave Roberts said they would hope to get 140-150 innings from him so how they manage those innings will determine how he fits into the rotation. I could easily see him getting some starts with the Dodgers this summer and converting back into relief in Sept as they get ready for October.
I don’t expect to see Dennis Santana get any starts with the Dodgers this year until Sept unless things really go off the rails. He is also someone who could transition into a relief role if they need him to this summer.
Mitch White and Yadier Alvarez probably have to wait their turns but this being baseball you never know.
You also have Julio Urias hoping to get back on the mound by late summer. I hope he shows something before the season is over so we can get more of an idea of what to expect next year.
Am I okay with this rotation and the depth? Yes, but they could easily upgrade and if I was the Dodgers I would certainly be making a play for Chris Archer. It would not surprise me at all if the Dodger front office pulled off a deal for a frontline starter before the start of the season. Wouldn’t Kenta Maeda make financial sense for a team like Tampa Bay? Great contract, under team control for years. Throw in the right prospects and make it happen. Or don’t. As I said I’m okay with the rotation as it is but by August 1st they probably need an upgrade to fill the Yu Darvish role of 2017 without the World Series missteps.
Next year at this time, you could envision a healthy competition between Urias, Buehler, Santana, White, and Alvarez for one or two spots in the Dodger rotation. The arms are coming.

Bullpen Update
Tom Koehler the pitcher many hoped would replace the arm of Brandon Morrow had his season flushed when he hurt his right shoulder and will be out a minimum of two months. This will have a trickle down effect on the Dodger bullpen since Koehler was already penciled in as a lock.
With Dave Roberts announcing this weekend that five of his relief pitchers are going to be Kenley Jansen, Pedro Baez, Tony Cingrani, Scott Alexander, and inexplicably Ross Stripling that leaves three spots for the remaining candidates.
Dave Roberts named five of the eight relievers he believes will be part of #Dodgers bullpen: Kenley Jansen, Tony Cingrani, Pedro Baez, Ross Stripling, Scott Alexander. Roberts added “To get too far ahead of things doesn’t make a whole lot of sense.”
— David Vassegh (@THEREAL_DV) March 3, 2018
I can understood the four of the five having near locks in the bullpen but I’m not sure why Ross Stripling is a lock. Especially since he has two options and it might be more prudent to have being stretched as a starter in AAA.
David Hood wrote up JT Chargois and I still don’t understand how the Twins released him. As David noted he is now the highest ranked pure relief pitcher in the Dodger system.
This leaves Brock Stewart, Wilmer Font, Yimi Garcia, Josh Fields, J.T. Chargois, Edward Paredes, and Adam Liberatore fight fighting for those final three spots.
Brock Stewart – should be starting in AAA which is where I’d also put Ross Stripling but we have to work with the idea of Ross being in the bullpen since Dave Roberts already said he’s a lock. Brock Stewart’s future may be in the bullpen but for now he should be stretched out as a starter and be part of the backup starting depth.
J.T. Chargois should start out in AAA to prove he’s healthy and get some innings under his arm after barely pitching the second half last year
The Dodgers have two lefthanders in the bullpen right now with Cingrani and Scott Alexander so the team doesn’t need either Liberatore or Paredes to make the team but I think one of them will. Liberatore is having an outstanding spring so far and looks like the guy who dominated the National League in the first half of 2016. A healthy Liberatore would go a long way to helping solidify the bullpen.
Josh Fields has yet to pitch this spring but I’d expect him to make the bullpen unless he’s not healthy.
Thus leaving the last spot between Yimi and Wilmer. I’ve stated before that Font will get a spot because he’s out of options. Yimi has one left and given he didn’t pitch last year it makes sense that he’s headed for AAA.
The dark horses or pitchers who will be in AAA are Pat Venditte the dual throwing relief pitcher who last pitched in the majors in 2016. Y Sierra who at times has looked like a major league relief pitcher but nothing like the pitcher the Dodgers are paying $3.5 Million to for 2017. Maybe now is his time. Justin DeFratus last pitched in the majors in 2015 with the Phillies. He has pitched more innings this spring than any other Dodger pitcher and at one time was an effective major league relief pitcher. Manny Banuelos can pitch his way into bullpen contention but he’ll have to do it from AAA. The big armed pitcher has plenty to prove this spring and not enough innings for it to happen this spring. Brian Moran was picked up last year from the Independent League and excelled in AA the final month of the season. He has pitched four innings already this spring so the Dodgers are giving him a look. His career was interrupted by TJ in 2014 and he is the longest of shots but 27 K’s in 19 innings with only 3 walks in AA does get your attention as does the fact the Dodgers have run him out there three times this spring and he’s been fantastic. Remember the career arc of Edwardo Paredes and you can see a light for Moran.
There is concern that the Dodgers need to trade for another bullpen piece or sign one via free agency. They might do it, but I think they will wait until the season starts and see how this group works out. The back four in Jansen, Alexander, Baez, and Cingrani could be very strong. Liberatore has been dominant when healthy so it would be wise to see which one shows up this season. Josh Fields isn’t anything special but he gets the job done most of the time. Font is a wild card, as is Yimi. If that group does not do the job or Pedro Baez isn’t up to snuff, they can make a move but I don’t see any reason to do one right now.
With the help of the Eric Stephen payroll sheet which is a handy place to find out how many minor league options each pitcher still has we can look at the bullpen this way.

MLB Pipeline unveils LAD top 30
MLB Pipeline just unveiled their LAD top 30 prospects. No surprises at the top with Walker Buehler / Verdugo / Ruiz taking the top three spots.
New additions to 2018 from the 2017 spring list who were drafted in 2017 are Jeren Kendall, Connor Wong, Morgan Cooper, James Marinan, and Donovan Casey. Interesting that Wong was drafted in the 3rd round but is ranked 15th compared to 2nd round pick Morgan Cooper who was ranked 21st. Cooper did not pitch professionally in 2017 so he has yet to pitch in the Dodger organization while Connor Wong had a very successful professional debut.
New additions from 2018 that were not ranked in the 2017 spring top 30. Cristian Santana goes from being unranked to number 14. That is quite a jump. Caleb Ferguson goes from unranked to 16th. Errol Robinson, Tony Gonsolin, Matt Beatty, Kyle Farmer, Romer Cuadrado, and Luke Raley round out the players new to the 2018 top 30 ranking.
Players falling from the list that are still in organization are Omar Estevez, Josh Sborz, Carlos Rincon, Johan Mieses, and Andrew Sopko. I have to admit I’m surprised at the exclusion of Omar Estevez. He didn’t wow anyone last year but at the same time he was very young for his league. David Hood was also not impressed with him so I guess baseball doesn’t think much of him. That is to bad because he cost the Dodgers six million back in Nov of 2015. If he blows out that will be another Cuban signing that has not panned out.
Players who are no longer on the list because they graduated to the majors are Cody Bellinger and Brock Stewart.
Players no longer on the list because they are no longer in the Dodger organization are Willie Calhoun(2nd), Trevor Oaks(15th), ONeil Cruz, Brendon Davis, AJ Alexy(16th), and Jacob Rhame.
I put their current ranking from their new team in parenthesis.
Biggest jumps – Dennis Santana 15 spots, DJ Peters 13 spots, Dustin May 12 spots, Keibert Ruiz 10 spots.
The 2016 number one picks had some big drops. Gavin Lux went from 7 to 13 and Jordan Sheffield from 9th to 18. However other 2016 draft picks are moving up such as Mitch White, Will Smith, DJ Peters, Dustin May.
