Jerry Sands, Rubby De La Rosa Receive Dodgers Minor League Awards

Earlier today, Jerry Sands was named as the Dodgers Minor League Player of Year, and Rubby De La Rosa was named as the Dodgers Minor Leaguer Pitcher of the year.  The award to Sands was no surprise given his outstanding offensive season, but the pitching award could have gone to a few different players.  Allen Webster and Matt Magill seemed to be in the running, and Aaron Miller also had a fine season.  However, the Dodgers generally give this award to players in the upper minors as opposed to guys in single A, so the fact that De La Rosa finished the year in AA helped his cause.  In addition, he had an outstanding 2nd half of the season and was the talk of the Dodgers minor league system as the year ended.

Both players will be appearing at Dodger Stadium on Saturday to accept their awards.  In addition, representatives from each of the Dodgers minor league affiliates will be at the stadium to participate in the ceremony.  Hopefully these awards are the first of many for these talented young players.

I'm very curious

what BA will say about Rubby during the Southern League Reports. Or if he even makes the top 20, I’m really clueless how they are going to rank him.

by meercatjohn on Sep 30, 2010 3:58 PM PDT reply actions  

As bh pointed out, Rubby might not qualify. I believe he had an outside chance of being ranked.

Who knows, maybe he’ll make the Midwest League list tomorrow.

I'm going to say that with neither one of these guys...

on the Top 15, to the left, our top prospects didn’t really have that good of a year. Too bad we didn’t get any in the Manny deal.

I don't know why the Dodgers should be mad at Logan White for looking at GM jobs when they passed him up at least twice.

Once when signing Ned Colletti to his initial contract, and again after he signed his extension. People try to jump to a better job constantly.

by angelofdeath on Sep 30, 2010 5:12 PM PDT up reply actions  

and it won't be the end of the world.

Logan’s rep was built on guys who kind of sucked for us this year. Maybe if he concentrated on pitching, because if you look at his role in drafting position players, he has pretty much sucked at it when it comes to the draft. Other then Martin who flamed out kind of fast, I don’t think he has one positional all-star notch on his belt.

by meercatjohn on Sep 30, 2010 5:32 PM PDT up reply actions  

Kemp should have been an all-star last year. I blame that one on Charlie Manuel.

I’m confident that White will leave at some point. I just didn’t get why people for a moment thought the Dodgers might be pushing him out.

by JonWeisman on Sep 30, 2010 5:14 PM PDT reply actions  

Leave for a GM job?

Or a parallel move to another org? Sure, baseball folks move around all the time, so the odds are he leaves at some point, but it is not unreasonable to think if he never gets a GM job, he sticks with this one.

@davidyoungtbla - The commenter formerly known as El Lay Dave.

by David Young on Sep 30, 2010 5:17 PM PDT up reply actions  

I completely agree. But someday he’ll leave, or retire, or what have you. I don’t have a timetable in mind.

by JonWeisman on Sep 30, 2010 5:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

1. It was a GoldStein rumor so I consider that a better source then most rumors. I don’t remember him being the type to simply make up a rumor unless it had some legs. He’s not Will Carrol.
2. If there was any truth to the rumor, I would think he was being pushed out if he did not already have another job lined up. I don’t recall to many people in his position resigning on their own because of the few jobs available. So what I’m saying is that if he did not have a job lined up, and he is not working for the Dodgers, I’d bet on the side of the Dodgers pushing him more then him simply resigning.

That was my reasoning.

I know Wins shouldn't be a big factor if any in CY award voting. But..

I keep hearing on MLBN how C.C. Sabathia should win because he pitches in the AL east. I thought that was dumb in part because he plays for one of the best teams so he never has to face them. But I decided to check to see how well he performed against the rest of the Division. He has 7 wins against the AL east 5 of them were against Baltimore. Felix Hernandez has 5 wins against the the AL east 1 against Baltimore and 3 against the Yankees. That’s 3 times the lowest scoring team in the baseball won against the highest scoring team in baseball. The team C.C. never has to pitch to.

Rooting for Bobby Cox

I have no love for the Braves. But in the NL I do appreciate Bobby Cox and since this is his swan song, this is how I am making the decision.

How many GM’s and Sabre people projected Huff to hit 26 HRS and Andres Torres to hit so many doubles and 18HR’s. Getting Pat Burrel off the scrap heap and 17 HR’s. Add insult to injury Cody Ross on the waiver wire and while he had a couple of rough games in the OF at ATT he still hit some HR’s in September. We of course got Pods. Over achieving results always help and the Giants got it.

If it is true, it's not libel

The distress would have to prevent you from something.

BA Top Ten Prospect Midwest League List is out

No Loons in Top Ten

11. Allen Webster, rhp, Great Lakes Loons (Dodgers)
15. Rubby de la Rosa, rhp, Great Lakes Loons (Dodgers)
18. Jerry Sands, 1b/of, Great Lakes Loons (Dodgers)

Jerry Sands seems…. low.

I can’t really comment on the other guys in front of him. I know some people love Trout and Jacob Turner is supposed to be legit, but I don’t see how BA rates Webster ahead of both De La rosa and Sands.

I think your beat is certainly front page worthy. It’s not like the pro club is doing anything meaningful.

Webster is not necessarily a better prospect than DLR and Sands. It’s just that he spent the ENTIRE year in the Midwest League, whereas the other guys had perhaps more success (considering the level) in the Southern League.

I read the article expecting to see that line of reasoning from the author, but I didn’t see it. I took the article to mean that they rated Webster higher than the other two.

Of course, I only read the free excerpt, so I may be missing something.

I read it like this as well. The article implied Webster’s three plus pitch potential makes him a better prospect than Rubby and his plus fastball and hard slider.

It was a little odd that he questioned Rubby’s command though since Rubby had a better BB/9 than Webster. Maybe Webster locates his pitches in the zone better?

Webster is also a true 20 year old at low-A while Ruby was 21, and Sands was 22.
