The Dodgers are a roster built, for the most part, unlike any other franchise in baseball. Their major league roster is World Series caliber and their minor league system is as strong as bottom four franchise ready to rebuild

Their uncommon combination of major league strength and minor league support is rather unrivaled and it has created a perfect “next man up” system.

For each injury, there is a replacement and for each struggling player, there is a supporting cast networked throughout the minor leagues.

Perhaps more impressive than the sheer depth of the franchise is the subdivisions inside the minor leagues.

Like any team, there are AAAA players: guys ready to come up at a moments notice. There are your top prospects and then there are low-level high performers ready to rise through the farm.

Through three weeks of play, here are the system’s players most ready to make appearances in the major leagues.
