Remember 36-year-old left-hander Erik Bedard, the 11-year MLB veteran that the Dodgers signed to a minor league contract and invited to big league spring training camp this past February? If you don’t, you’re probably not alone. Dodgers President of Baseball Operations Andrew Friedman and General Manager Farhan Zaidi signed Bedard as a free agent on […]

Zach Lee was pulled from his start with the Oklahoma City Dodgers against the Fresno Grizzles after only three innings of work on Friday night. The former first-round draft pick had pitched to only one hitter above the minimum in his three innings giving up a leadoff single to left fielder Robbie Grossman in the first inning, […]

Dodgers top pitching prospect Jose De Leon has made nine starts this season – seven with the Advanced Single-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes and two with the Double-A Tulsa Drillers. In those nine starts he is 4-2 with a remarkable 1.95 ERA. But that’s not even the best news. The best news is that in those […]

Right-hander Zach Lee was the Dodgers first round selection in the 2010 First Year Player Draft. Thought to be unsignable, Dodger fans will remember the drama around the signing as the Plano, Texas native had committed to Louisiana State University to quarterback the Tigers football team. Lee, now 23 years of age, is in his […]

Right-hander Chris Anderson was selected by the Dodgers in the first round of the 2013 First Year Player Draft. The Dodgers were interested in Anderson for his size, athletic ability and the fact he grew up in Lino Lakes, Minnesota.

Dodgers Top-10 pitching prospect Jose De Leon made his AA debut with the Tulsa Drillers of the Texas League on Friday evening. He had been promoted to the Drillers after going 4-1 in seven starts with the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes of the California League while posting a 1.67 ERA and WHIP of 0.90. In 37.2 innings he […]

Grant Holmes was the Dodgers first round draft selection in the 2014 First Year Player Draft. Some were surprised that he was still available when the Dodgers claimed him with the 22nd overall selection in the draft. MLB Prospect Watch had ranked Holmes as the eleventh overall prospect heading into the draft. His fastball and […]

The 2015 MLB First Year Player Draft is scheduled for June 8-10 at the MLB Network’s Studio 42 in Secaucus, New Jersey. The draft each year is one of the highlights of the season for me. I don’t watch it as a full time activity but check in regularly to see what the Dodgers are […]

It is a day that we all knew would happen and sooner rather than later. Dodgers Top-10 pitching prospect Jose De Leon has been promoted from the Advanced Single-A Rancho Cucamonga Quakes to the Double-A Tulsa Drillers. De Leon received word of his much anticipated promotion on Sunday afternoon after yet another outstanding performance in front […]

On Friday evening as I watched the Great Lakes Loons I was focused on the pitching performance by Grant Holmes, the Dodgers first round selection in the 2014 First Year Player Draft. Holmes was definitely dialed in pitching six shut out innings. I expected 22-year old Spencer Navin or 23-year old Brant Whiting to be […]
