Dodgers 2011 #3 Prospect Chat

PrintTrayvon Robinson was the somewhat surprising winner of the round 2 vote, narrowly beating out both Zach Lee and Rubby De La Rosa. Robinson accumulated 18 votes, while Lee had 16 and Rubby had 13. Thus far, the TBLA Prospect List looks like:
1. Jerry Sands
2. Trayvon Robinson
For round 3, at the request of the voters I’m going to add Aaron Miller into the mix. I’m also including Chris Withrow as an option because if I’m adding Miller, I think Withrow should also be in the discussion given his upside. We are going to continue voting using the comment method, so refer to the fanpost and submit your vote in the comments. I’m going to leave this vote open through the weekend to give everyone a chance to vote, and since we are not going to conduct any new voting on the weekends.
To make it obvious for those not reading the whole article, Click Here To Vote.
As always, use this thread to talk about the voting and other things, and only use the other Fanpost to submit your votes.
The round 3 candidates:
Zach Lee (19.5 years old) RHP – 2010 1st round pick given a $5.25M bonus has solid makeup and 3 potential plus pitches. He is expected to move quickly throw the minor league system, though he signed too late to play in 2010. Baseball America’s most recent report says that he has "90-93 mph fastball that peaks at 95, with plenty of running, boring action and exquisite command".
Kenley Jansen (23.5 years old) RHP – Dominated the minor leagues, and then went on to record the 4th lowest major league rookie ERA in major league history (min 25 innings) at 0.67. Still technically a rookie heading into 2011, major league batters also hit just .130 against him. Will almost certainly stay in the bullpen for the rest of his career.
Dee Gordon (22.75 years old) SS – Has a .297 career minor league batting average and has 126 stolen bases over the past 2 seasons, and scouts still describe him as very raw with a ton of potential. Was one of the younger players in AA in 2010, and despite making a lot of errors at shortstop, many believe he has the tools to one day be a plus defender.
Allen Webster (21 years old) RHP – Webster has been excellent in his 3 minor league seasons, and has a career minor league ERA of 2.76 in 218.1 innings. While his strikeout rate dropped a bit in 2010, his 131.1 innings with the Loons as 20 year old almost doubled his workload from the previous year, so it was expected that he’d tire a bit. He has a low 90’s fastball that hits 94 and has a lot of sink, and his curveball is very solid.
Rubby De La Rosa (22 years old) RHP – Always known for his strong fastball, De La Rosa burst onto the prospect scene in 2010 with a 2.37 ERA in 110.1 innings and won the Dodgers minor league pitcher of the year award. His season was split pretty evenly between LoA and AA, and he actually improved most of his stats upon getting promoted to Chattanooga. He was clocked at 100 mph this year and also has a power slider and a changeup that has potential.
Aaron Miller (23.5 years old) LHP – Was great in the California league, but struggled during his 23 innings in AA. He doesn’t throw real hard, generally working in the low 90’s, but he has great control. He also has a power slider and is working on a changeup.
Chris Withrow (22 years old) RHP – TBLA’s #1 prospect last year, Withrow had a very disappointing 2010 season in AA. However he was one of the youngest players in the Southern League at just 21 years old, so he still have plenty of time to improve his game. He still has great stuff, as Baseball America’s most recent report says that "he features a mid-90s fastball that bores and sinks, and he also spins a plus curveball in the mid-70s."

2nd! ...
base will be an issue next year.
I am still torn between Lee and Rubby, who has already proven himself professionally at least, but am looking at it as a good problem to have.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
3rd
base will be even worse. :)

Voted Zach Lee
Its tough for me to vote him that high having not thrown a professional pitch, but I’m putting a lot of stock in the size of his bonus and assessment of Logan and the scouting community. If it were not for fears of signability, Lee would have been a top 10 pick, and top 10’s are most likely to make an impact at the major league level.
From the last thread
While having Cliff Lee would be awesome, realistically, if the Dodgers were going to spend that much money, couldn’t they sign Dunn, Werth AND Beltre for that money?
The starting pitching isn’t that bad now, the lineup blows.
wasn't it said
that the bonus/signing money was different than payroll money?

Yes they said that. What’s the question though?

by Michael White on Oct 29, 2010 8:41 AM PDT up reply actions
I’d be pretty happy about getting Beltre back. Doubt we could afford him, and wonder if he even would want to play here again.
Blake and Loney could platoon at 1B and maybe get a little more production out of that position.
Loney needs to go.
I realize that this is all dreaming. Just saying, if we’re dreaming about spending Lee money, I’d rather spend it on 3 guys instead of Lee.
by Michael White on Oct 29, 2010 8:47 AM PDT up reply actions
Completely agree. Especially the part about Loney.
The thing I like about spending money on a 3B, is that we literally have no in-house solutions, and above average 3B have become very rare. Building a team for the long term would be easier for us if we were able to sign or trade for a good 3B.
At least in the OF and 1B, we have in-house options who could potentially be ready in 2012.
Martin needs to go too.
I wonder if the Indians would be willing to do another Santana-Blake deal. I don’t want Casey anymore either.

who wouldn’t solve that problem. Maybe he’ll be a 1B at some point tho.
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.
May would have to improve to be called sucky
Don’t see that he’d have much of a future as a 5’11" 1B with a little pop in his bat
To be fair
Podboy has had a 10 year MLB career. While I’m not advocating for the trade, nor would I refuse to have a do-over, the guy has had a nice career.
Five zombies. Four bullets. Two zombies.
Not advocating the trade either
but I wouldn’t bet on May spending more time in the majors that Podsednik over the next few years
Dunn and Werth will combine for at least $25m per year. Lee isn’t topping that.

Something like 4/$60mm?

I would imagine Beltre can clear $10m per year and will probably get at least 3 years. 4/$50m sounds about right. Maybe 3/$33m floor.

If all the over hyped 3rd base prospects
keep failing and becoming 1st baseman it will be even more of a premium. Thank God Zimmerman could actually hit and play GG 3rd base.

Even if Frank opens the purse
I doubt we would sign more then one of Dunn/Beltre/Crawford/Werth. So If I had a choice between signing Beltre and Dunn I would choose Dunn, but I may be overvaluing Dunn’s bat vs Beltre’s D and Blakes decline.

That's why they should trade Loney for Fielder
But that ain’t happening. Nor is signing Crawford or Werth (though Dunn is a possibility).
If we can get an impact bat I think the Dodgers will be okay offensive wise. I think Kemp bounces back and as long as Ethier doesn’t break another pinkie I think he does too. The numbers he put up before the injury were no fluke.

don’t see the point of millions of people starving while millions of people die. The idea of burying someone other then for fertilization is simply one of the strangest human customs ever. Solvent Green would feed an awful lot of people. It would certainly remove the Zombie menace and free up some good land for the goverment to pay you not to grow on.

Ethier hurt his pinky in mid-May
Or six weeks into the season. Six week hot streaks almost by definition “a fluke”. Ethier hit .392 / .457 / .744 / 1.201 over that stretch; no one outside of a roided up Barry Bonds or Mark McGwire is hitting that over a full season. (OK, Bagwell and F. Thomas each had one 1.200 or better OPS season, but all did it by slugging and walking a lot, not by hitting .390)
@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.
I wasn’t expecting him to hit .390 over the full year, but he finished with numbers that were way off last year (albeit with a higher average). After the injury he simply wasn’t the same hitter and struggled the rest of the way.
by Michael Kieser on Oct 29, 2010 9:00 AM PDT up reply actions
Actually, not really
2009 wOBA: .370
2010 wOBA: .367
Though, that was filled with some BABIP luck in 2010 as opposed to some BABIP bad luck in 2009. His ISO dropped a sizeable margin, but he struck out and walked at pretty similar rates (though they were a little bit worse in 2010.)
I agree that Ethier could have an even better year next year if healthy, just nothing that blows away his production the past 3 years.
by Michael White on Oct 29, 2010 9:05 AM PDT up reply actions
Ethier looks pretty consistent to me
2008 – .305 / .375 / .510 / .885, 132 OPS+
2009 – .272 / .361 / .508 / .869, 131
2010 – .292 / .364 / .493 / .857, 134
Those are pretty small differences. Only his counting numbers (e.g., homers) were down from 2009 last year, mostly because he had 100 fewer PAs due to injury.

Voted Rubby
Gotta give the benefit of the doubt to the guy who earned the promotion from the MWL to AA and then peformed in AA.
Really excited about Rubby
but see Chris Withrow, 2010 season.
If Rubby throws a whole year in AA like last season and keeps up his velocity and ground ball rate, he could be a legit A grade prospect.
If Chris Withrow was in the Rangers system or something and I’d never heard of him, I would have voted Rubby #1.
I’m definitely aware of the similarities and trying not to get too excited about Rubby (like I was about Withrow.)

Kershaw dominated in AA

BTW, I was thinking this morning that it’s unfair to Zach Lee that Logan White was dropping Kershaw’s name in comparison to Lee and even saying Lee is better in some ways at this stage. Sets up completely unrealistic expectations. Kershaw owned the minor leagues and forced his way up to the Dodgers at an incredible rate.
OTOH, comparing him to Billingsley is better. Billingsley came up as a top prospect but had a more gradual (if still accelerated) rise to the major leagues.
by Michael White on Oct 29, 2010 9:29 AM PDT up reply actions
Agree
That the Billingsley comp is better.
I think Logan was basically trying to say that Lee has better command at his age than Billz or Kershaw. However, Lee will probably not have the ceiling Kershaw has/had because he doesn’t have the overpowering fastball.
Kershaw’s fastball sits 92-93, touching 94. Lee’s fastball is 91-93, touching 95.
Five zombies. Four bullets. Two zombies.
That present day Kershaw. When he was 19, Kershaw hit 99 in Great Lakes and was routinely 95-97.

Sure we were gaga
it was the first time we’d had a top ten pick in years. Canuck had me worried because his info said that if Kershaw was taken that Logan was going to take Morris, which would have been a total BS pick, because think how pissed you’d be today if Morris had been that pick and Lincecum was still on the Giants. It is okay because we got Clayton but Logan got lucky.

Hinsight is one thing, but I could see why teams, at the time, would pass on Lincecum. He’s tiny and has a truly unique delivery. I would have thought of him as bound for injury.
And yes, I remember that the Dodgers kept the wrong Martinez for the same reasons.
Of course we signed the wrong Guerrero

Only because they don't need to
players become scouts now because they didn’t make enough money when they were players to continue to eat after their careers are over. It does not mean they are better at it then the players who could actually play the game, it just means those guys can retire. Not saying they aren’t or are but that is the reason why no successful major league player is a scout. That is why they are the Mitch Websters of the world.
This is all conjecture on my part and is not meant to be the final word.

by a long shot but he was still the lowest paid player just about every year he put on a major league uniform other then the rookies.
While with the Dodgers he never made more then 600,000.

I watched him in the Futures game and he was throwing gas. I thought he looked like a future reliever out there, but man did it look like he was heaving it. I didn’t see a ton of command, but I liked his delivery. Captain Eo has to make it just for the nickname alone.
We have so many good arms that just have command issues holding them back.
Withrow, Eovaldi, Martin, Miller, Rubby (to a lesser extent).

He’s perfect. I’d call him a post-hype sleeper, but there was never that much hype. He had the crow’s hop delivery I believe, but a real live arm for a small frame. Of course, anyone with that description becomes Pedro and any lefty with command becomes Glavine.
Yeah my expectations are not super high for him
but he’s definitely flown under the radar for awhile, for a guy with enough going for him he could really stick as an ML reliever soon and “surprise” a lot of people.

1. Age for league

I agree with you

Good point, hadn't thought about it that way
I feel inclined to keep voting for Kenley because of my previous comments, but then again why throw away a vote. I think Phil will have to make my vote count. I did a little more research on Gordon after reading this comment in the vote.
when Gordon develops patience (matter of experience,TRob has more.. )
You make it sound like that is a given. You may be right. For two years in a row Gordon has started out with a BB rate below 5% in April but for the 2nd season in a row his BB rate improved as the season went on.
In 2010 he started out at 3.4 but ended in Aug at 9.0. In Sept in very limited at bats it even climbed to double digits. He did the same thing last year for the Loons. So we know he has the ability to increase the walk rate. A rabbit like that who can put up a 8-10% walk rate all of the sudden takes on a different light. Can he improve his SB rate? His frame is still what holds me back from embracing him.
Just an FYI for those who think Trayvon can keep up that BABIP because of his speed and line drive rate. Gordon is faster yet had a BABIP of .325 with a line drive rate of 16%. Trayvon had a BABIP of .397 with a line drive rate of 22%.

I got convinced to get off the Kenley trade by the argument that Kenley’s ceiling is Rubby’s floor. I have to think that with a 100-mph fastball, he can do what Kenley has done so far. And with the fact that Rubby might be a starter, I’m comfortable putting Rubby above Kenley.

Not disagreeing with you. I would like to know that also. Just saying its easier to keep up a high K rate when you only face guys once.
He definitely doesn’t have a great “out” pitch but then again neither does Kenley aside from his filthy fastball. Maybe Rubby just throws it hard, down in the zone, and right over the plate every time.
And that doesn’t seem like a recipe for success in the future.

Difference between RDLRosa and Withrow is RDLRosa can throw strikes…and misses bats..
Withrow has mental issues..he can’t throw strikes to LHbatters..he has walked them at 6-7w/9ip last 2 yrs..and he gives up too many hits..
Hence the, “if he puts in a good year.”
I assume Withrow’s issues are fixable.
by Michael White on Oct 29, 2010 10:12 AM PDT up reply actions
I do too. Even though we are pretty down on him now, he still has a great arm and we could see him in the mix for a call up in 2012 after a good 2011. He just has a bigger hill to climb than Rubby right now.
I think Withrow LHB issues are fixable..I am more concerned about this lack of missing bats..
He does not seem to dominate batters..?? last yr his velocity decreased to low 90s in order to improve command..didn’t help much.
I have more hope that he will make it vs EMartin.
Withrow's problem
Is that when he misses he leaves the ball up in the zone. Rubby on the other hand keeps the ball down. Their K rate is the same.
I voted Rubby
Just because Withrow and Martin had shitty years doesn’t mean every prospect we ever have is going to follow up a good year with a shitty one. Guys who throw 100 and get 60% ground balls don’t grow on trees.

Also during the broadcast, FOX Sports and MLB unveil the winners of their joint initiative, THE WORLD SERIES OF COSTUMES. Thousands of fans submitted photos of their children, 12 & under, in Halloween costumes and the three winners appear during the Saturday night’s World Series broadcast. The photo contest was judged by AMERICAN IDOL’s Randy Jackson and Ryan Seacrest. Log onto www.mlb.com/halloween for more information.

The fact that the World Series is so late in the year
that a Halloween tie-in is even possible simply sucks.
I remember when we were stunned that a 1975 WS SI cover celebrating the Reds winning was simply dated November 1, 1975 (the following Monday) was outrageous.

this is a semantic issue. Attractive implies you are attracted to them and is an active word, versus they’re pretty which is objective and distanced

Maybe
but I think its natural for a male of just about any age to look at a girl even if she is say 16, see that is a fully formed “woman”, and find here attractive. His next instinct might be, oh she is 16 and then move on with his life, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t find her “attractive”.

Dodgers: None. Dee Gordon and Zach Lee would be expendable in a Greinke trade, not that owner Frank McCourt would want to pay him.

Sweatpants around the house is a different story.

Part of the problem too
is that I’ve recently changed sizes, so I don’t have much in the way of nice clothing that fits nicely.

Not when the Giants are in it.
The best part about Scully returning next year is it means he doesn’t go out with the Giants owning the championship.
He was a Giant fan, no? The little boy in him is most likely thrilled.

We just need to make it through a couple more years and then he can join Tevin Campbell as people we never hear from again.

Is it possible to institute a no Bieber rule?
Like the no talking about a no-hitter when one is in progress.
I thought Eric already put that rule in motion?

Isn't it ironic
that the Giants could win the World Series because of an outfielder’s involvement with PEDs.
Great story brewing about that
but I do believe that does fall under Ironic.

You know that infomercial ad with the buff 70 year old claiming that’s he feels like he’s 30? Most of that is using the HCG hormones.

New York Deli (Est. 1985) just opened up down the street. Their menu is overwhelming at first glance w/shockingly expensive prices. But the portions look MASSIVE.
Check out this item: Hot Beef Brisket (served on a French Roll with Au Jus, Kosher Pickles and choice of salad) — 10.75
They also have anything else you can think of: Burgers, Hot Dogs, Grilled Cheese, Triple Decker variety sandwiches, etc.
For those in the area, they’re located at 25 N. Raymond in Pasadena.
I hate to say this, but that price doesn’t seem out of touch with other delis I’ve been to.

Giuliano's Italian Deli in Torrance is cheaper
or at least it was, I worked there in the 90s

the owner was
just an obnoxious Italian. I don’t know what “obnoxiously Italian” means, there weren’t goombas running around there like in Jersey Shore.

Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Used his normal NFL pick time on the Scott Van Pelt show on ESPN Radio to talk instead about the World Series, which he called a scouting trip for the 2011 Yankees. The character makes me laugh every time…this is paraphrased:
“Timmy Lincecum, when you are a Yankee you will be required to wear your hair high and tight like a man, and not like the little girl I repeatedly hit in dodge ball in the fourth grade.”
“Brian Wilson, next year when you join the pinstripes, you will be required to shave your beard into a short mustache in the classic style of Donnie Baseball, VHS pornography, and yours truly.”
This is Carl BTW:
My friend bears a scary resemblance to Carl

Can you further explain your Lambo tweet? No one else has made any comment about this behavior and his performance on the field has been very promising so far.

I described the specifics of his on-field behavioral problems here in the AFL in one of my recent blog posts. And since then I’ve heard more stories from scouts who saw him this year and last. Hey, Andrew, if you’re reading: Grow up before you flush all that talent down a great big toilet.
I hope you are Andrew, I hope you are.
