| 3. | Ethan Martin, rhp |
| 4. | Josh Lindblom, rhp |
| 5. | Scott Elbert, lhp |
| 6. | Ivan DeJesus Jr., ss |
| 7. | Devaris Gordon, ss |
| 8. | Josh Bell, 3b |
| 9. | Chris Withrow, rhp |
| 10. | Nathan Eovaldi, rhp |
A rather agressive grade on Eovaldi, a guy Sickels ranked 19th and who Goldstein didn't list among his top 14 Dodgers prospects. Sickels did point out that Eovaldi does have a high ceiling.
No true #1 prospect here. You could probably make reasonable arguments for up to half the guys on this list.

Surprise
I’m a bit surprised to see DeJesus at 6. I’m not sold on him, but general consensus has him above Lindblom.
The Dodgers won't win a playoff series until the Cool-a-Coo returns.
If you notice,
Though they put Martin above Lindblom, their projection for the 2012 starting rotation has Lindblom as the #5 starter, and Martin nowhere. They seem to be much higher on Lindblom than other people

I may be a little biased . . .
As I mock drafted Lindblom out of high school on this very site 3 years ago, but he’s a pretty sweet talent. Pounds the strike zone with a plus-plus fastball. Not sure where he fits best on a major league roster, but I think he’ll be at least solid wherever he is.
2012 might be just a little early for Martin. I really like him a lot, but he’s still pretty new to pitching and will probably need some time. Then again, if he figures things out quickly he could rocket through the minors.

Where will Andrew Lambo rank on next year’s top 100 after he drops 25 in double-a in ’09 as a 20-year-old?

Hmm
Hard to say without considering the development of all the other candidates and the numbers that would go along with those 25 dingers. . .but I think that it’d stick him somewhere between 30 and 40.
I don’t think anybody doubts that Lambo can hit, numbers and scouting reports bear that out. But defense? He probably best projects to be something of a slight liability on defense even at LF/1B. That and perhaps some contact issues limit him for me.
Lambo
In my eyes Lambo is a very underrated prospect and has set himself up very nicely for a breakout 2009.
