Dodgers: Constructing the Future Dodgers Rotation

We all know the wealth of young talent the Dodgers have, both on the major league roster and in the minors. Because of it, it’s fun to think about potential teams LA can roll out in the future.

My colleague Cesar Becerra wrote a piece breaking down the potential lineup the Dodgers can show off in a few years. If you have not read it, definitely check it out here. In this article, we will break down a potential starting rotation a few years from now.

Because we are focusing on the organization’s younger players, the criteria to qualify for the list are:

1. First and foremost, must in the Dodger organization
2. If in Major Leagues, must be under 28-years-old (usually the middle of the prime for most players)
3. On a rookie deal with three-plus years of team control left
4. Or must be a prospect

Andrew Friedman and Co. have done a great job of building up a farm system with terrific position players, but they have not ignored the pitching side of things either. Pitching wins championships, and as long as you have a good rotation, you will, at the worst, be somewhat respectable.

That is why the Dodgers’ future is in good hands. They have a multitude of young starters that seem to have bright careers ahead of them. It just happens that this rotation will be backed up by the stacked lineup the Dodgers will potentially be lining up with.

So, just like DC Comics jumped a bit into the future of their New 52 timeline with the Futures-End miniseries, let’s jump ahead a few years into the future of Dodgers baseball and see the possible starting rotation the Los Angeles Dodgers can organically throw at teams.
