PrintFor the most part the daily minor league updates are going to be fan posts, we will try our best to have them ready by 08:00 AM. For those of you unfamiliar with the SB Nation setup, the FanPosts are on the right margin. Plenty of great material is created via FanPosts not just by our writers but by the community. We are using FanPosts so we don't clog up the main page, think of us as Page 2 material.
Coolguy_88888888 will be working with me this season to make sure we can deliver these every day in a timely manner. Coolguy is of course the person who delivered to us his ranking of the Top 200 Dodger Prospects so he brings a wealth of information about our prospects to TBLA, and we consider ourselves lucky he will be helping us out this year. This was his his first minor league update so give it a read and make us part of your daily read.
Each update will contain a link to the box score along with links to First Inning and Minor League Splits. I heartily recommend clicking on these links we are providing. They contain a wealth of information that we can't cram into our daily updates.

The Firstinning link is a compilation of the previous day's box scores. The Minor League Split is the same but with additional information. Minor League Split also allows you to tab backward to catch the previous day breakdown.

Top 200 Dodger prospects?
Forgive me for being clueless. I read his 200 Dodger prospects but that made me think, 200 prospects? We don’t even have 200 players on the 4-5 minor league teams. So how is there 200 top prospects?
Thank
Welcome to the most comprehensive analysis of the Dodgers minor league system. For the next few months, I am going to provide a summary of every player in the Dodgers minor league system who meets the following qualifications: (1) played in the Dodgers minor league system during 2009, or was injured during the entire 2009 season; (2) is still with within the Dodgers organization as of season end; (3) is under 28 years old as of Opening Day 2010; and (4) the player is still considered a prospect by Baseball America Standards, which means that pitchers must have less than 50 innings pitched in the majors, and hitters must have less than 130 at bats in the majors.

I disagreed strongly with #189 ;) I remember seeing coolguy’s lists on another forum a long time ago and I always wondered who he was. Obviously, he follows our system very closely and does a great job keeping track of everyone’s whereabouts. He may even know what position Preston Mattingly is playing these days . . .
Your quibbling with the use of
Top 200 Dodger prospects? Okay, does ranking of the prospects from 1 – 200 work better for you?

I dont think that was his question. He was wondering how there are 200 prospects when there aren’t enough minor league teams to have 200 players in the system.

Our system
has 7 teams when fully populated
AAA, AA, A+, A-, Rookie League Ogden, Rookie League Arizona, Dominican League
and the the instructional league. The ranking were based on 2009 information. Many of the players will not or are not even in the system anymore.

Thanks I understand now. I knew there was the Arizonal Fall league and Dominican but was not sure of the instructional leagues. Who might be in the instructional leagues? Is it mostly foreign born players? I’d like to learn more about the minor league teams but it’s hard to find good information (of course I’m finding it more on this site since I joined).
