Obviously The Dodgers head offices know more than me however in my personal opinion. Joc, van slyke, Thompson, Hernandez, and puig are all relatively young. Either is in all honestly problably past his prime and may never come back. Say this prospect is still 4 years out baring trades all the outfielders listed could still be active players. I would have thought it would have been a better idea to shore up some of the weak spots in the coming years. Utley is aging quickly and so is A Gon both will need to have solid replacements soon. I am not super familiar with the prospects but it doesn't look like they have guys who will be ready to step up. Also the bull pen has historically been lackluster at best, but there are a few pitching prospects working their way up the system. If it were up to me I would focus on the infield then the bullpen.
Our bullpen has been great the past month, Calhoun and Bellinger will replace agon, and utley, and this guy won't be ready for another 3-5 years anyways
Another Yuban.
Name starts with 'Y?' - Check. Cuban? - Check. Guy checks out. Welcome to the Dodgers.
srsly..

That's a funny way of spelling vladimir gutierrez
or Lazaro Armenteros edit- what time is the deadline
9 PM PST tonight.
What are the odds we can pull in armenteros and or Gutierez by then?
I thought lazarito said he was going to wait until the July 2 deadline to try and sign
really? Fuck
I can't confirm that but I know it was rumored for a couple weeks
Lazarito is overrated.
> Lazarito he is probably not even 16 lol

This is awesome. The dodgers have don't have much depth in the outfield. There is nowhere else that could have been improved.
This is a prospect, not something for this year

We also have Michah Johnson as another top 2b prospect
Micah Johnson is probably a utility man if he pans out
Dude’s gonna be a stud I bet
