Edwar Cabrera, LHP Colorado | Placed on the 60-day disabled list in mid-February with shoulder impingement, Cabrera is now targeting an early June return to action (missed his original eligibility date). The 25-year old had a legit opportunity to earn a rotation spot out of spring training prior to the injury, this despite getting shelled in his...

Dodgers Minor League Report - 4/25/13
Jesmuel Valentin makes his 2013 debut and walks, Zach Lee struggles and Scott Van Slyke goes yard once again.
Down On The Farm: Week Of April 15 – Magill, Pederson, Lee, Seager, Cotton
Pitching was the story for the Dodgers‘ farm system this week, but one positional prospect stood out and was recognized for his great offensive performance.
It’s nice to see youngsters take advantage of their given opportunities.

Down On The Farm: Week Of April 8 – Van Slyke, Magill, Puig, Lee, Baez, Cash
Kind of a quiet week on the farm for the Dodgers affiliates. The Loons went 4-1, but the other three affiliates didn’t play .500 ball.
The pitching seemed to lack this week more than the offense, but there have been some impressive early-season performances thus far.

Dodgers place Shawn Tolleson on DL, recall Josh Wall, Zach Lee is awesome
Remember that time Shawn Tolleson was put in a 1-0 game in Arizona and attempted not to pour gasoline all over the mound? Well, perhaps he shat the bed for a reason.
Tolleson was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Monday and Josh Wall was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque.
Tolleson came in and promptly walked two batters, both of which allowed runs to score -- and both...
Dodgers' prospect Zach Lee masterful in second outing of 2013 for Lookouts
I was able to catch a couple innings of Zach Lee's Wednesday night start against the Tennessee Smokies, and he was dominant.
While no radar gun readings were readily available, Lee was throwing all four of his pitches and kept the Smokie hitters off-balance.
Lee's line: 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 HR, 1 BB (intentional), 7 K, 84 pitches, 55 strikes
That's a great...
Double-A Debuts: Yasiel Puig And Zach Lee
In Chattanooga, Top-100 prospects Yasiel Puig and Zach Lee debuted against a Huntsville (Brewers) team with few prospects of note. On paper, both excelled with Puig reaching base in three of four plate appearances and Lee surrendering just one earned run across four innings of work. There’s a reason scouts don’t write reports from box scores though. While each impressed, both...
Dodgers Minor League Report - 4/5/13
Yasiel Puig makes his much anticipated debut, along with Zach Lee, Joc Pederson and Matt Magill.
FanGraphs Audio: Mike Newman, En Route to Chattanooga

Los Angeles Dodgers Prospect Rankings: Pre-Season 2013
Happy Easter!
My Dodgers prospects pre-season rankings for 2013 are here, but it’s a bit of a short and sweet version.
I was planning on re-starting Prospect Profiles again this year, but unfortunately, I got busy and ran out of time.
:-(
However, since I still have the information I’ve gathered through watching the games and what not, I think what I’ll do is just release scouting...
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...
Daily Friar 3.2.13
Whenever the Padres face the Dodgers it’s always nice to win. No matter what time of the year it is. One team could be way out of contention and the other could be making a push, but one thing is constant: it is always nice to beat the Dodgers. Yesterday the two teams faced each other and the Padres won. Even though it is spring training it felt good to win. What made it even sweeter...
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...
Los Angeles Dodgers Top 15 Prospects (2012-13)
The Dodgers will trot out a formidable wave of big league talent to take on the National League West in 2013 but the strength of the major league club comes at the expense of the minor league system. The organization has flipped its home-grown talent to acquire the likes of Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, and Hanley Ramirez. The new draft and international free agent rules will affect...
Mariners In Hot Pursuit Of Dee Gordon
The Dodgers have been bombarded with inquiries regarding shortstop Dee Gordon, tweets Scott Miller. It’s not looking a trade is imminent, but the Dodgers have made it apparent that they are willing to part with Gordon for a “significant return.” What better meets the definition of “significant return” other than Felix Hernandez. The Mariners are among the teams hitting...
Dodgers Would Offer Prospects SS Lee Gordon and RHP Zach Lee For Dickey
John Harper of the New York Daily News reports the Dodgers are willing to send shortstop Dee Gordon and right-hander Zach Lee, their No. 1 pitching prospect, to the Mets for R.A. Dickey.
NBC Sports profiles the two players:
Gordon, 24, opened last year as the Dodgers’ shortstop and leadoff hitter, but he struggled and got hurt. He ended up hitting .228/.280/.281 with 32 steals...
Dodgers need to steer clear of the A-Rod, Yankees' mess
I never thought I'd be writing about Alex Rodriguez on this blog. I never thought the media would ramp up such ridiculous rumors. OK, I lied about that last part.
The fact is, the Dodgers showed their financial strength this season with a flurry of acquisitions and ungodly amounts of money being added to the payroll. I guess it makes sense for the media to assume Los Angeles...
Prospect news: Lee among SL's best, Puig out for AFL, first two AFL games
Zach Lee, who was ranked as the fifth-best prospect in the California League last week, was tabbed as the Southern League's 13th-best prospect, according to Baseball America.
Lee was the only current Dodger prospect to make the list. Allen Webster, who was traded to Boston in the Adrian Gonzalez deal, was ranked as the league's ninth-best prospect.
That was a little...
No surprise: Joc Pederson and Zach Lee two of the Cal League's best
Dodger prospects Joc Pederson and Zach Lee both cracked the Top 5 of Baseball America's California League Top 20 list, published today.
Pederson checked in at No. 3 while Lee was No. 5 on the list.
Pederson's amazing second half helped to catapult him near the top of this list. Overall, he finished the season with a .313/.396/.516 triple slash with 18 home runs...
Don’t Forget Andres Santiago When Talking About Dodger Pitching Prospects
I remember when I went to see the Quakes in April because I was excited. I had just started the Dugout Blues podcast with Jared Massey (we’re just on an extended hiatus … promise) and we were all prepared to see Zach Lee pitch. Well the week before I went down to Rancho Cucamonga, a
Red Sox should move Gonzalez
Trading Adrian Gonzalez would be an overreaction from a team that overreacts like no other. But the Boston Red Sox should do it, just as the Philadelphia Phillies should have dumped Cliff Lee on the filthy-rich, hyper-ventilating Los Angeles Dodgers when they had the chance.
The Sox can include enough money in the deal to land Zach Lee and/or Allen Webster, the Dodgers' top...
Dodgers Minor League Report - 8/06/12
Yasiel Puig adds his third home run of the season, while Zach Lee tosses 6 shutout innings for the Lookouts and Ogden loses in 15.
Welcome to Hanley-wood: Dodgers acquire Ramirez from Marlins
Considering this was supposed to be a real quiet trade deadline season, things got interesting real quick early Wednesday morning, didn’t they?
Ever since the Los Angeles Dodgers were sold to a new ownership group for over $1 billion, new president of baseball operations Stan Kasten has said this team will not be afraid to spend money or make headline grabbing...
