Gavin Lux turning heads in Rancho
Lux was an easy pick for the Farm Factory Award for the Week of 04/30 – 05/06. For the week Lux went twelve for twenty-four with five walks but that is just the tip of the iceberg for how hot Gavin Lux has been. It took Gavin Lux about two years to get his those …
Caleb Ferguson takes weekly FFA
Caleb Ferguson doesn’t get the press of the other Dodger pitching prospects. Much more has been written about his teammates, Dennis Santana and Yadier Alvarez, but it is Caleb Ferguson who keeps on plugging away solid game after solid game. This week he threw two gems and won the weekly FFA award. Caleb did it …

I feel what Ruiz did at this level is much more …

Reviewing Baseball America Dodger Top 30
