OTHERS (Grade C): Geison Aguasviva, LHP; Steven Ames, RHP; Brian Cavasos-Galvez, OF; Danny Danielson, RHP; John Ely, RHP; Roberto Feliciano, LHP; Carlos Frias (a sleeper!), RHP; Austin Gallagher, 1B-3B; Javy Guerra, RHP; John Link, RHP; Carlos Monasteros, RHP; Jon Michael Redding, RHP; Jerry Sands, OF-1B; Travis Schlichting, RHP; Tim Sexton, RHP; Angelo Songco, OF; Cole St. Clair, LHP; Scott Van Slyke, OF; J.T.

高位Grade B-以上仍充滿幼齒年輕prospects,比較有年資的只有Elbert,因'07年在小聯盟肩傷開刀,直到今年才再完成一季完整球季造成的delay;此外高位者還有春訓撞斷腿平白浪費一年的DeJesus;Withrow則是終於完成他第一個完整球季,且Sickels認為他甚至有和Gordon互換top 1、2的實力。
同時Sickels也在排名下面寫道,E. Martin與A. Miller倘使控球進步甚至有B+~A-的實力。Jansen、Eovaldi、Webster與Wallach則因資料不足只先暫時擺在C+。整體而言,他認為Dodgers投手prospects較野手佳(上高位僅Gordon和Lambo)...且還說他把Gordon拿來和Furcal相比...Wow...
和去年(6位)相較新人4位上top 20s。去年top 20裡今年畢業的有'09 Grade B的John McDonald與Grade C+的Ramon Troncoso;Josh Bell被便宜賣給O's(他排Sickels 2010 O's #4, Grade B);Jaime Hoffman則是被Yanks從Nats的rule 5 draft那邊盤走;被刷掉的(今年連Grade C都排不上的)則有Justin Miller以及Jesus Castillo...剛在legs交易從Chi-Sox盤來的John Ely與John Link都在OTHERS (Grade C)附屬名單裡。
老樣子,Sickels名單裡Grade C群和Grade C-群的prospects基本上排名是約略可以互換的,我們在top 20s後半段可看到些有趣的名字,譬如說之前一直沒在top 20s排名裡,突然冒出頭來的Robinson和Jansen,可見Sickels對這兩隻prospects今年表現相當讚賞。
最後Sickels也點名農場主管Logan White在再度重建農場這方面做的不錯。但被我們Dodgers bloggers在回文吐嘈說大概因為老闆Frank McBroke沒錢簽多出來的1st round/三明治選秀,所以根本不考慮給某些type A arbitration...科科...不然我們有更好的機會選到更多好prospects。
