For all the love and fanfare Joc Pederson and now Corey Seager have received, Scott Schebler has flown under the radar. That’s kind of hard to believe, seeing as he was the Dodgers’ minor league Player of the Year in 2013. Schebler’s tremendous season at Double-A established himself as a legitimate prospect in the system. This…
The Dodgers made six more roster cuts yesterday, reassigning Corey Seager, Darnell Sweeney, Chris O’Brien, Buck Britton, and Shawn Zarraga to minor league camp, and optioning Scott Schebler. With the majors side of things now sitting at 44 players — including the injured Chris Withrow and Brandon Beachy — the Dodgers now effectively have 17…
Finally, the conclusion of the 11-part 2015 prospect series. This would have been published sooner if a certain Cuban infielder had already made a decision, but I can only sit on this piece for so long.

This is one of those things you feel like you need to discuss more than really want to, but the Dodgers lost lefty reliever Onelki Garcia on waivers to the White Sox today. Garcia had a pretty weird and brief term with the Dodgers after being drafted in the 3rd round in 2012, reaching the…

Unlike last year, there don’t appear to be any players who will surprise by being added. First, let’s look at the rules for players who need to be protected. “Players who…
Arizona Fall League rosters were announced on Tuesday, and the Dodgers are sending some notable prospects, headlined by top prospect Corey Seager. Seager will return for his second AFL stint. He went last season, and, to put it lightly, had a rough time: .181/.253/.306. He was clearly fatigued, yet some were concerned about his late-season…
A prospect’s journey through the minor leagues has many twists and turns. Unless a prospect is a no doubt, can’t-miss guy like a Corey Seager, there’s always going to be questions surrounding him. Scott Schebler is doing all he can to answer the questions about him and his prospectness. Schebler, 23, is coming off a…
The Dodgers’ Double- and Triple-A affiliates announced their opening day rosters on Monday and Tuesday (respectively). Like the A-ball affiliates, there weren’t many surprises. I did my best to project these rosters last week, and didn’t fare as well as I did last year. My Top 50 rankings are in parenthesis. Chattanooga Lookouts Pitchers Pedro…
