The Run Down
The Dodgers entered the 2012 season with a deep farm system, flush with solid pitching prospects. It was also a system that was virtually void of high-impact talent. Almost a year later, though, the system has a different look. Thanks to blockbuster trades with Boston and Miami, the pitching depth has shrunk considerably — Nate Eovaldi and Allen Webser were top three arms in the organization. The high-impact outlook has only improved, however, after signing the touted Cuban outfielder, Yasiel Puig. The aforementioned blockbuster trades have given LA an experienced and pricey MLB roster, but they’ve also clogged any prospect throughways that previously existed. Barring injury in the outfield or the rotation (which certainly is a possibility), I don’t foresee much prospect turnover in 2013.
