The Arizona Fall League wrapped up this week with the Mesa Solar Sox — the team with eight Dodger prospects — finishing in last place with a 10-20 record. Now, it wasn’t all the Dodger prospects fault, but there were some, shall we say, not-so-great performances from some of the fellas. I’m going to keep my eye on the Puerto ... Read More »
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. —– ... Read More »
The Dodgers sent eight players to the Arizona Fall League this season to play for the Mesa Solar Sox. Only Onelki Garcia has yet to appear in a game. I’m hoping he gets in soon because he only threw in two minor-league games this season. We all know about Yasiel Puig suffering the staph infection, which caused him to miss ... Read More »

The Loons and Ogden Raptors scored the most runs ... Read More »

After his 4-for-4, 2 HR, 6 RBI performance on Friday night, Michael Pericht is attempting to make a name for himself in the Dodgers system. It was his second multi-home run game of the season ...

The recent injury to Ivan De Jesus isn’t likely to affect his standing on the roster, as he was due to be cut anyway, but it is disappointing for somebody who only really made it back from a serious injury last year.
