Baseball America released its list of top 100 prospects in baseball on Tuesday, and the Dodgers merited a pair of players new to the system since last year's list. Both Hyun-jin Ryu and Yasiel Puig, whom the Dodgers spend over a combined $103 million to sign, made the list.
Ryu checked in at No. 42, and Puig was No. 47. However, Zach Lee didn't make the list, meaning he fell at least 38 spots.
Lee was ranked No. 62 in the 2012 rankings, the highest Dodger on the list. Allen Webster (No. 95) ad Nathan Eovaldi (No. 96) also made the list last year, and were traded. Webster, now on the Red Sox, is No. 49
