My 2015 Top 100 Dodgers prospects

Oh, hi there. It's been awhile. I just concluded my Top 100 Dodgers' prospect series over at Dodgers Digest. Here's a link to every entry in the series.

• Introduction
• 100-76
• 75-51
• 50-41
• 40-31
• 30-21
• 20-11
• Top 10

I have also updated the sidebar with the new Top 10 (it links to the post at Dodgers Digest until we get the prospects page updated).

The Dodgers' farm system is as strong as it has been in years. It's considered a Top 10 system by most publications, as it has a lot of top-end talent and improved depth. So, head over to Dodgers Digest to check it out (and the supplemental pieces to follow).

Also, it'd be swell if the Dodgers signed Yoan Moncada so I could add him to the list.

Podcast: 'Dugout Blues' episode 85 - Kershaw, Puig, Hanley, prospects

On these episodes of "Dugout Blues," Jared Massey (Dodgers Nation) and I talk about Clayton Kershaw's no-hitter and the suddenly relevant (again) Dodgers.

Kershaw threw the first no-hitter of his career, and Jared tried his best to keep it in his pants. Spoiler alert: he didn't.

Yasiel Puig and Hanley Ramirez are battling injuries, and one or both of them might need to be placed on the disabled list.

Corey Seager and Julio Urias were named to the Futures Game, while Joc Pederson is hurt.

Grant Holmes signed his deal, and we talk about other prospect news.

Per usual, we close with the Q&A. Some good ones this week, including one where I'm called out for being, for lack of a better term, "lazy."

Podcast: 'Dugout Blues' episode 83 - Dodgers, MLB Draft review, prospects

On these episodes of "Dugout Blues," Jared Massey (Dodgers Nation) and I are joined by Chris Rodriguez of Baseball Prospectus to recap the 2014 MLB Draft and some Dodgers' prospects.

Chris Anderson has been generally disappointing, and the Dodgers might be changing his mechanics. Julio Urias is still great, as is Corey Seager. Tom Windle still might be a reliever, but he's been solid this season.

We get into the Dodgers' draft, which was underwhelming after nailing their first two picks in Grant Holmes and Alex Verdugo. They took just eight high schoolers -- the fewest number of prep players of any year in Logan White's tenure. There are a few guys who might be something, but on the whole, we were expecting more.

Podcast: 'Dugout Blues' MLB Draft edition - Grant Holmes & Alex Verdugo

On these episodes of "Dugout Blues," Jared Massey (Dodgers Nation) and I recap the first two rounds of the 2014 MLB Draft -- Dodgers style.

Listen as we debate who might or might not fall to the Dodgers at No. 22. Then, listen as we praise the selection of prep right-hander Grant Holmes.

 For the second round, I actually call the pick before it's made, and it was Arizona high schooler Alex Verdugo. The only thing is, he was drafted as an outfielder and not a left-handed pitcher. That was a surprise.
