January 29th, 2016 at 6:00 am by Harold Uhlman Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis got thrown out of a game on May 29th during the 2015 MLB season.

Cody Bellinger – The Dodgers newest untouchable prospect
January 26th, 2016 at 6:00 am by Ron Cervenka When MLB.com’s Jim Callis released his list of top first base prospects late last week, many Dodger fans were both surprised and elated that a Dodger prospect had cracked the top-10.
