The Dodgers front office has been quite active early on this season as they have already completed a few minor league trades. Tuesday they made another deal that netted them hard-throwing reliever, Ariel Hernandez. The Dodgers dealt away Zach Neal a sinkerball pitcher who was signed this offseason and Ibandel Isabel, a powerful first baseman who swatted 28 home runs for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes last season.
This trade on the surface appears to be an exchange of minor leaguers who have raw potential, but they need some refining if they are ever going to be regulars in the major leagues.
