LA 다저스, 유망주 TOP 20

존 시켈스가 자신의 블로그에 LA 다저스 유망주 랭킹을 올렸군요. 그 흔한 B+하나 없는 팜으로 평가를 했습니다. 크리스 위드로. 에단 마틴의 커맨드 불안과 디 고든의 수비불안 때문에 이런 평가를 받게 된 것 같군요. 생각보다 알렌 웹스터의 평가가 낮은 것이 아쉽습니다. BA에서는 저것보다는 좋은 평가를 받을 것으로 보이는데...

1) Dee Gordon, SS, Grade B: I still love the speed and athleticism, but he needs to do a better job using it. Stolen base success ratio and error rates are troublesome.

2) Jerry Sands, 1B-OF, Grade B: I think his bat is for real, should be a very productive power hitter. Ranks behind Gordon due to future position value but that is not a knock on Sands.

3) Trayvon Robinson, OF, Grade B: Has dramatically improved his skills the last two years and has always had the tools.

4) Kenley Jansen, RHP, Grade B: You have to love the stuff, so good he's effective even without stellar command. Does he close?

5) Rubby De La Rosa, RHP, Grade B: I'm not sure he gets his due. Love the fastball and grounders, would like to see a few more strikeouts, does he start or relieve?

6) Zach Lee, RHP, Grade B: Would rank higher than Jansen and De La Rosa on pure long-term projection, but I want to see some pro data first. Struggles of other young RH power guys in the system have made me cautious. If all goes well, Lee can be number one next year.

7) Chris Withrow, RHP, Grade B-: This grade is generous if you only look at his performance, but I still like the upside.

8) Aaron Miller, LHP, Grade B-: Command collapse in Double-A is worrisome, but will try again this year and power lefties aren't that easy to find.

9) Allen Webster, RHP, Grade B-: I like him, and he doesn't get the attention he deserves on a national basis. Could zoom up the list.

10) Ethan Martin, RHP, Grade C+: I have no idea how to rank him. You can slot him much lower. His second half was scary-bad.

11) Scott Elbert, LHP, Grade C+: He looked great in the Arizona Fall League. Will he throw strikes? Is his head on straight?

12) Leon Landry, OF, Grade C+: A personal favorite, broad range of skills, but need to see him outside the Pioneer League.

13) Kyle Russell, OF, Grade C+: Love the power, hate the strikeouts.

14) Garrett Gould, RHP, Grade C+: Pioneer League performance wasn't hot, although scouts still seem to like him. Transition to full season ball will be enlightening.

15) Brian Cavazos-Galvez, OF, Grade C+: This will seem low to some Dodgers fans. I like what he's done so far, but the miniscule walk rate and age-relative-to-league make me wonder if he'll keep it up.

16) James Baldwin, OF, Grade C+: Had strike zone problems in rookie ball. Great tools, and for some non-objective reason I think he could improve quickly.

17) Jake Lemmerman, SS, Grade C+: Another college guy who tore up the Pioneer League. I like him, but rank him behind Landry since I'm not sure his tools will transition as well. Good skills though.

18) Javier Solano, RHP, Grade C+: If you want someone who will help faster, move him up the list. Should be a good middle man.

19) Matt Magill, RHP, Grade C+: Good numbers in the Midwest League, scouting opinion about him seems very mixed, some like his stuff, some don't. Deserves a full shot at higher levels.

20) Jonathan Garcia, OF, Grade C+: Toolsy Pioneer League guy might break out if he keeps the zone under control.
