Asked if the Dodgers were presently capable of putting a division winner on the field, Colletti smiled and said, “No.” But thanks to the deepest and most talented farm system in baseball, the Dodgers are on the cusp of becoming perennial contenders.
Double-A Jacksonville cruised to the Southern League championship (the first for a Dodgers affiliate since 2002). The first five players on this prospect list—righthander Chad Billingsley, third baseman Andy LaRoche, shortstop Joel Guzman, catcher Russell Martin and righty Jonathan Broxton—starred for the Suns, the Minor League Team of the Year.
Most of the Dodgers’ top prospects have been signed since Logan White became scouting director following the 2001 season. His first-round picks have included Billingsley (2003), lefthander Scott Elbert (2004) and third baseman Blake DeWitt (2004), all of whom made this Top 10, and first baseman James Loney (2002) and righty Justin Orenduff (2004), who just missed.

what you guys honestly need to do is brace for a huge downfall (especially after Bonds retires) and go and try and steal Logan White from the dodgers and start from stratch because all of the players on your beloved giants are either at best average or hasbeens past their prime.
im not saying this to sound mean or cruel, i am being honest. you better get that shitty farm system going because the dodgers got a 5 year head start on ya

LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers have reportedly plugged the hole left by last year's departure of third baseman Adrian Beltre by agreeing to a two-year contract with free agent Bill Mueller, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Mueller hit .295 with 10 home runs and 62 RBIs for the Boston Red Sox in 2005, but he spent his early years with the San Francisco Giants, where current Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti was assistant general manager. Mueller also called Colletti last week with an endorsement for the hiring of Grady Little, who later was selected to manage the Dodgers.
Mueller will be the third free agent signed by Colletti following the signings of shortstop Rafael Furcal and back-up catcher Sandy Alomar Jr. Mueller will handle the duties at third base until the arrival of top prospect Andy LaRoche. Mueller reportedly had a three-year offer from the Pittsburgh Pirates, but chose the Dodgers because of his preference to play on the West Coast.
The Dodgers used seven different third basemen in 2005, with Oscar Robles appearing the most (40 games).
