In order to fill these organizational needs, the Dodgers went away from past Draft philosophies and primarily selected from the college ranks.
22 of their picks from the first 30 rounds were players from college.
White said that the Dodgers did not head into the Draft with the intention of mainly focusing on college players. It just happened that other clubs took a lot of high schoolers leaving plenty of available college players for the Dodgers.
"Our philosophy has always been to take the best available player, and then we focus in on our club needs second," White said.
"But that's just kind of the way it plays. Now you have teams like Toronto and St. Louis taking high school players when back I want to say '02-'03, they didn't draft as much from the high school ranks as they are now. So it kind of gives us the mix of the college guys."
