The 2018 Dodgers Major League ball club will be strong at every position, and will likely add some veteran depth for both the bench and bullpen prior to opening day from the deep pool of unsigned veteran free agents.

Beyond this powerhouse at the major league level, the Dodgers possess enviable depth in their minor league farm system that should worry the other 29 teams.  Their system is not perfect and may lack a true impact prospect in the infield (that’s what happens when the top IF prospects graduate to the MLB level–see Corey Seager and Cody Bellinger), but the organization has several elite prospects, with very deep mid-tier prospects.

I will examine the depth of the farm system from two perspectives. First, the top prospect will be spotlighted at each position.  Lastly, the top minor league reinforcement for the Dodgers will be highlighted at each position, irrespective of prospect or rookie status.
