Overall Grade: B+
The Dodgers farm system remains in great shape, though it’s not quite as elite as we’ve seen in recent years. After a surprisingly quiet offseason, the immediate impacts of the players on this list could be greater that we’ve grown accustomed to at Chavez Ravine.
Name | Pos | Age | Level | ETA | Grade | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Miguel Vargas | 3B/OF | 22 | MLB | 2022 | A- | High BA at every level, 20/20 potential, suddenly elite plate discipline. Worthy of immediate drafting. |
