Dodger minor league report: Week 21 (part two) — Power and dominance
By Cary Osborne
You can’t help but be encouraged by some of the stuff going on at the lower levels in the Dodger organization — teams in playoff position, with power at the plate (including a home run record) and dominance on the mound (including a no-hitter). Obviously, hope is tempered by the fact that these guys have a long way to go, but there are some promising signs.

Dodger minor league report: Week 16 — Justin Time and No-Hit Hector
By Cary Osborne
One Dodger minor leaguer has hit seven home runs in his last 10 games. Another threw six no-hit innings in a game this week. Those are the top highlights among several for the lower level teams…
Great Lakes Loons (Low-A)
Thus far: 50-52 overall; 16-16, four games out of first place in the Midwest League’s Eastern Division second-half standings
Outfielder Joey Curletta, a 2012 sixth-rounder, has five doubles, a home run and 10 RBI in his last 10 games. The RBI surge has boosted him to 12th in the Midwest League with 52, and 22 doubles ranks tied for eighth in the league. Curletta is slashing at .293 batting average/.350 on-base percentage/.390 slugging percentage overall.
Greg Harris, the 19-year-old son of the former Major League pitcher with the same name, threw five shutout innings on Wednesday, allowing two hits and a walk, while striking out five batters.
Jacob Rhame
Harris, who in our discussions with Dodger vice president of amateur scouting Logan White was brought up a few times in terms of being a great pickup, has had two similar outings in the last two months. On June 11 and June 29, he pitched five innings of shutout ball. Overall, he has a 4.86 ERA and 1.36 WHIP in 70 1/3 innings, having struck out 75 batters and walked 23.
Reliever Jacob Rhame hasn’t given up a run in his last 14 1/3 innings. He is averaging 11.2 Ks per 9 innings this year and his WHIP is 0.95. Rhame, a sixth-round pick last year, has a fastball that has been clocked at 95 mph-plus on more than a few occasions, our guy in Great Lakes, Bruce Gunther, tells us.
