MINOR LEAGUE/PROSPECTS Thread

No problem! I can't wait to see Lee pitch. That probably wont be until 2013 though.

 

Don't know you party boy, but good shit with posting that stuff up.

 

Thank you bestlakersfan. I am sorta new here, I was on PSD for years before I recently found this site.

 

niiccceeee PB. wanted to see these too.

 

Why does Lindblom make our prospect list but RDLR doesnt?

 

I believe it's the innings pitched cut off.

 

Shoutout to PB. Good looking out man!

 

Looking for the 2012 Dodgers PECOTA projections and stumbled upon this. Unfortunately you need a baseball prospectus account to see the rest.

System In 20 Words Or Less: There is depth here, but there's also a disturbing lack of future impact talents.
Four-Star Prospects
1. Zach Lee, RHP
Three-Star Prospects
2. Nathan Eovaldi, RHP
3. Allen Webster, RHP
4. Chris Reed, LHP
5. Garrett Gould, RHP
6. Chris Withrow, RHP
7. Alfredo Silverio, OF
8. Joc Pederson, OF
9. Alex Castellanos, OF/2B
10. Angel Sanchez, RHP
11. Shawn Tolleson, RHP

Nine More:
12. James Baldwin, OF: He's an ultra-athletic outfielder with power, speed, and a disturbing number of strikeouts.
13. Tim Federowicz, C: He has big league-ready defense (and plus at that) but a backup's bat.
14. Ethan Martin, RHP: The former first-round pick will try starting again but remains in the deep weeds in terms of command and control.
15. Josh Lindblom, RHP: He's a big league-ready reliever, but his ceiling ends in 7th or 8th inning.
16. Aaron Miller, LHP: This power lefty lost his 2011 season due to non-arm injuries; he could move up the list with healthy season.
17. Gorman Erickson, C: He's an intriguing backstop with on-base skills and a bit of pop, but his defense needs work.
18. Scott Van Slyke, 1B: He can hit but is an older, first-base only prospect that needs to keep doing it.
19. Kyle Russell, OF: He possesses huge raw power, excellent right field defense, and all sorts of contact issues.
20. Steve Ames, RHP: The scouting reports are not as impressive as the numbers, but evaluators see a big league future as middle reliever.

1. Zach Lee, RHP
DOB: 9/13/91
Height/Weight: 6'4/190
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed: First round, 2010, McKinney HS (TX)
2011 Stats: 3.47 ERA (109.0-101-32-91) at A (24 G)
Tools Profile: Athletic right-hander with stuff and ceiling
Year in Review: The big-bonus 2010 first-rounder pitched well in his debut but rarely dominated.
The Good: Lee's velocity dipped a bit from his high school days, but his fastball remains a plus pitch that sits in the low 90s, touches the mid-range often, and features explosive life. He added an upper-80s cutter to his mix, and it projects as a plus pitch. He throws both a slider and a curveball, and scouts prefer the power pitch as a potential plus offering. He's a fantastic athlete and earns high marks for his poise and maturity.
The Bad: Lee's changeup is a below-average pitch that often comes in with too much velocity and not enough fade. He has a tendency to get around on his curveball and lose break. He can frustrate at times by focusing on his secondary pitches and not going right after hitters.
Ephemera: Lee gave up one-third of his earned runs in the first inning and had a 2.95 ERA in all other frames.
Perfect World Projection: Star-level starting pitcher
Fantasy Impact: Lee could end up an early pick but not the first starting pitcher on your roster.
Path to the Big Leagues: Lee will be challenged with an assignment in the offensive environment of High-A Rancho Cucamonga.
ETA: 2014

2. Nathan Eovaldi, RHP
DOB: 2/13/90
Height/Weight: 6'3/195
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Signed: Eleventh round, 2008, Alvin HS (TX)
2011 Stats: 2.62 ERA (103.0-76-46-99) at AA (20 G), 3.63 ERA (34.2-28-20-23) at MLB (10 G)
Tools Profile: Power arm but limited arsenal.

 

Usually prospects are still considered rookie eligible, which I don't think Rubby is anymore.

good article. check out the videos too

 

If you're in the majors and go on the DL it counts against your service time, don't you remember all that Tony Abreu stuff? So RDLR's ML service time as of now is 128 days.

Some good stuff on Pederson

 

KLaw likes Rubby alot

 

rubby <3

 

Alex Castellanos is being tried out at 2nd and 3rd... Watson brings it up on his interview on ESPNLA.

 

If Castellanos can rake like he has been the past couple years this year in AAA I would not be surprised to see him on the ML squad, especially if Uribe keeps sucking ass or Mark Ellis can't manage his .720 OPS.
