Los Angeles Dodgers Organization discussion

I am now working on the Kansas City Royals prospect list for 2019. The next team in line is the Los Angeles Dodgers, to be followed by the World Champion Boston Red Sox, the Cincinnati Reds, the Seattle Mariners, the New York Mets, and the Baltimore Orioles.

Use this thread to discuss the future of the Los Angeles Dodgers system. Possible points for discussion include, but are certainly not limited to:

****The Dodgers won the National League pennant with a 92-71 record but fell short in the World Series against the Red Sox. What do you see ahead for 2019? Another 90+ wins and post-season berth, or will they fall back to the pack?

****Does Joc Pederson have another gear available or has he maxed out his production?

****Would you try and hold onto Manny Machado?

****Walker Buehler was terrific this year. Can he actually improve from this level?

****What do you do with Alex Verdugo?

****Your general take on the condition of the farm system?

****As always, feel free to discuss your system sleepers and anything else Dodgers-oriented.
