By now it’s old news that the Dodgers were named the Organization of the Year in 2017 by Baseball America. If we go back in time to when Andrew Friedman and Farhan Zaidi took over the Dodgers three years ago, the Farm System was ranked number 14 in all of baseball by Baseball America. In one short year, FAZ elevated that ranking to #3 and in 2016, they were ranked Number One.
By that time, the Dodgers had started graduating players: Stripling, Seager, Urias and others. In 2017, they were ranked number four and yet they produced their second rookie of the year in a row.
