The doors are getting oiled so that they can swing open. I have tickets for games on February 24th and 26th. I will be in Glendale that whole week. They have a strict list of what you can take and what you can’t take inside, and these guys are trained ICE agents (I am only slightly kidding), who have no sense of humor and are strictly by the book. Here’s…

With the Pitchers and Catchers reporting next week, it is almost time to PLAY BALL. I thought it might be a good idea to look at the Coaching Staffs at each level. Ontario Tower Buzzers Great Lakes Loons Tulsa Drillers Oklahoma City Comets Los Angeles Dodgers Baseball Operations I did not see it listed, but Austin Chubb is the Dodgers Minor League Field Coordinator. The Dodgers should have no trouble…

Baseball America came out with their rankings today, and they rated the Dodgers #13. This is an interesting discussion. Personally, I think the Dodgers’ farm system is in the #5 to #10 range, but BA makes a good case. The only team worse than the Padres (#29) is the Rockies.

Back in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, when I was going to Dodgertown in Vero Beach, Florida, I made friends with an old, white-haired baseball writer for Baseball America, named Bill. He was in his mid-70’s, retired, and was there with his wife. Before the games, we would talk about Dodger Prospects.

He graduated from Harvard and Carnegie Mellon Universities. Law blends sabermetrics and scouting into public analysis, especially in prospect evaluation, draft coverage, trades, and advanced metrics. Law’s voice matters because he straddles analytics and traditional baseball culture, pushing for…

It’s hard to believe it’s been 18 years since the Dodgers moved from Vero Beach to Glendale, Arizona. I was in Vero Beach for the Dodgers’ last game, and I was also at the first game they played at Camelback Ranch. On Friday, February 13th, pitchers and catchers report, and the team’s first full-squad workout will take place on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at Camelback Ranch. I made it to…

Some reported yesterday that the Dodgers have four Top Prospects in the MLB Top 100. Four would be great, but five is even better, and the fact of the matter is that the Dodgers do indeed have five top 100 Prospects in their loaded farm system: Only the Mariners with 7 and the Guardians with 6 have more Top 100 Prospects than the Dodgers. Here’s a quick rundown of each…
