Down On The Farm: Week Of May 27 & June 3 – Moore, Reed, Dickson, Urias
All I really care about is Julio Urias, but there were a couple prospects who had solid weeks for their respective Dodger minor-league teams. With Yasiel Puig having been promoted from Double-A, the Lookouts’ offense now runs through Joc Pederson. The Dominican Summer League started play this week as well, and some of the bigger international signings should log ample playing time...
Los Angeles Dodgers Top 20 Prospects
The Dodgers have really started to focus on their MLB team with the new ownership, so the improvements to the farm system might go un-noticed. Several prospects have taken steps forward, which was something they have struggled with the last few years.
Note: Avg ranking takes the average of any site I could find that had team rankings (sum of ranks divided by total sites). Comp ranking...
Never Too Late To Put Headley In Dodger Blue
Months of speculation here at Dodgers Rumors about putting Chase Headley into Dodger Blue. Two weeks ago the Padres agreed to a one-year $8.575MM deal with Headley avoiding arbitration. Most fans and MLB execs expected the Padres to work hard to lock up Headley in a multi-year extension this winter. Though that hasn’t worked out very well at all. San Diego GM Josh Byrnes recently...
Making Moves: Winter Development Camp Sans Puig, Howell Signed, Minor Deals
The Dodgers have invited 12 players to their Winter Development Camp, which, after operating for its first five years of existence at Dodger Stadium, will move to Camelback Ranch due to construction at Chavez Ravine.
Zach Lee, Joc Pederson, Chris Reed, Onelki Garcia, Paco Rodriguez, Chris Withrow, Steven Ames, Matt Magill, Tim Federowicz, Matt Wallach, and newcomers Jeremy Moore...
Dodgers Find Pair of Power Lefties
In 2012, four left-handed pitchers touched 93-plus on my radar gun. In Onelki Garcia and Chris Reed, Dodgers prospects accounted for half the list. This is nothing new. Two minor league baseball seasons living in the Atlanta area has yielded many hard-throwing Dodgers prospects. What’s new is every top prospect I’ve seen from the Dodgers has been right-handed before this.
Big...
Q&A: Chris Reed, Dodgers Top Prospect
Chris Reed isn’t your typical top-rated prospect. Born in London, England, he has a record of just 1-9 since the Los Angeles Dodgers drafted him 16th overall in 2011. A closer in his junior year at Stanford, the 22-year-old southpaw transitioned to a starting role this season with High-A Rancho Cucamonga and Double-A Chattanooga. Limited to 77 innings, Reed proceeded to make 11...
Newman’s Own: Best LH Starters Of 2012
Seeing prospects in person is my passion. In 2012, I was fortunate enough to visit parks in five different leagues — collecting information and video on 200 legitimate prospects or more. The lists released over the next few weeks will highlight the best prospects I’ve seen in person at each position during the 2012 season. The rankings will be adjusted based on projected position...

Interview With Chris Reed: Mechanical & Mental Adjustments, Pitch Confidence, And Change
I had the opportunity to speak with Chris Reed before his Nov. 8 Arizona Fall League game.
Edited for sanity, because nobody wants to read “uh” and “um” and laughs and transitions and crap.

Pitching in the AFL is always difficult, so are you making any conscious adjustments to that or is it just specifically working on things beyond results?
“Yeah, we’re working...
Down On The Farm: Winter Leagues – Onelki, Pederson, Ynoa, Reed, Santiago
Chris Jackson of the Albuquerque Examiner tweeted to me and said that Dodgers left-hander Onelki Garcia hasn’t appeared yet in the Arizona Fall League because of an oblique injury, but he was unable to confirm it. If true, I wouldn’t expect to see Garcia play at all in the AFL, though he could still pitch in another winter league.

This is what we wanted
Love it or hate it, Major League Baseball’s addition of the second Wild Card in each league in an attempt to create more opportunity as well as more likelihood that multiple playoff races would exist every season seems to have worked. And without it, the St. Louis Cardinals would have very little to play for right now.
The Cincinnati Reds have an 11 game lead in the NL Central...
Dodgers prospect Chris Reed struggles in 2012 Futures Game appearance
Playing for the World Team in the 2012 Futures Game (because he was born in England), the Dodgers lone representative, Chris Reed, got rocked a bit in his one inning of work. He gave up two hits, a walk, four runs (two earned), and struck out one. It’s indicative of exactly nothing, but it would
Chris Reed will represent the Dodgers in the 2012 Futures Game
For the 14th annual Futures Game, Chris Reed of AA Chattanooga Lookouts will be the lone Dodgers representative. In 36 innings at A+ ball, he posted a 3.00 ERA with a 2.59 FIP and 2.96 SIERA, earning him a promotion to AA. In limited time there (nine innings), he has put up a 2.00 ERA,
Chris Reed the only prospect to represent Dodgers in Futures Game
The 2012 Futures Game rosters were announced today and London-born (say wha?) Chris Reed will represent the Dodgers in Kansas City this year.
It's no surprise to see Reed headed to KC, as he's had a really good season so far: 2.86 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and a 9.2 K/9 between High-A Rancho Cucamonga and Double-A Chattanooga.
Reed, 22, has a good fastball that sits in the...
Dodgers becoming more aggressive on base path
The Dodgers are suffering through their worst stretch of the season with six losses in their last seven games after Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies, but they have been improving in one area: stealing bases.
The Dodgers in 2011 were fourth in the National League with 126 stolen bases and stole those bases at a 75.9 percent clip, fifth in the league. But this year, the club began...
Chris Reed Returns from Injury
The Dodgers' most recent first rounder is back in action after missing time with shoulder soreness.
Down On The Farm: Week Of April 23rd – Federowicz, Magill, Santiago, Dominguez
Pitching was the story this week with the Dodgers minor-league system, despite giving up more runs than scored at all but one level. Some strong performances by Chris Reed, Garrett Gould, and Ethan Martin weren’t enough to make the cut. The Isotopes checked in with the best record at 3-3, while the Lookouts scored the
