-
February 5, 2016
No. 6 prospect, Austin Barnes

Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger had a breakout season at age 19 in the California League in 2015 and showed versatility by playing in the outfield as well. The 2013 fourth-round draft pick ranks as the Dodgers' seventh-ranked prospect for 2016.

No. 9 prospect, Frankie Montas
Hard-throwing pitcher Frankie Montas, one of three prospects acquired from the White Sox in a three-team, seven-player December trade, checks in as the ninth-best Dodgers prospect heading into 2016, someone who could be in the bullpen this season.
-
January 7, 2016
No. 10 prospect, Trayce Thompson
The Dodgers acquired outfielder Trayce Thompson from the White Sox with two others on Dec. 16 in a three-team trade. Thompson, a solid defensive outfielder, who hit well in his first stint in the majors in 2015, is the No. 10 prospect for 2016.
-
January 5, 2016
No. 11 prospect, Willie Calhoun
The Dodgers drafted second baseman Willie Calhoun in the fourth round in 2015, and in his first half-season as a professional all he did was hit, across three minor league levels.

December 22, 2015
No. 12 prospect, Yadier Alvarez
Right-handed pitcher Yadier Alvarez, our No. 12 prospect, was signed by the Dodgers on July 2, 2015 for a $16 million bonus, and though he worked out at the Dodgers facility in the Dominican Republic he has yet to throw a professional pitch.
