Tulsa went with four starters before calling on Dennis Santana in game five of a series tied at two games a piece. Santana responded with seven shutout …
FFA August 28th – Sept 4th
The minor league regular season ended last night so I thought I’d wait a day and get a final Farm Factory Award in with eight days instead of seven. The final eight days had quite a few notable performers so without further ado The Contenders: Yusniel Diaz – AA/Tulsa – Diaz had four multi-hit games, …
FFA for Week of 8/14 – 8/20
The contenders are: Dennis Santana/AA/Tulsa – Santana finally pitched a gem after three straight bad starts. He went six inning, five hits, one earned run, one walk, and ten strikeouts. This was his best game in AA and hopefully a sign of things to come for the rest of the month. Yadier Alvarez/AA/Tulsa – The …

A+ – Rancho July Stat Snapshot & Review
Hitters: Top ten prospect Yusniel Diaz was just promoted to AA Tulsa. At 20 Diaz is having a solid season but nothing stands out. He is more about the scouting tools than actual production but we do have to remember he’s 20, even though he repeated the league. 2016 first round pick Will Smith was …

Reviewing Baseball America Dodger Top 30
Several weeks ago Baseball American came out with their updated prospect list which made me go back and look harder at their original Dodger top 30 which came out in Jan/Feb of 2017. The Hits: Bellinger as the top prospect was prophetic. In reading the BA review they thought he had 30 home run power, …
Minor League Notes 07/21/17
A lot of activity at the minor league level for the Dodgers with some ramifications. Walker Buhler was promoted to AAA and made his first start last night. The number one pitching prospect for the Dodgers did not get out of the first inning, Walker faced five batters, giving up three walks and two hits …
Keibert and Santana show
In a game I should have gone to considering two of my favorite prospects were playing, Dennis Santana hurled another seven innings, while Keibert Ruiz blasted a three run walk off home run in front of the unimpressed Craig Minami. Dennis Santana pitched seven innings again, marking the fourth time Santana has gone at least …
