Cody Bellinger (Jon SooHoo/Los Angeles Dodgers)
By Jon Weisman
Despite this year’s promotions of Corey Seager and Julio Urias and the debut of American rookie Kenta Maeda, Baseball America included six Dodgers in its Midseason Top 100 Prospects update.
Cody Bellinger (24), Jose De Leon (25), Alex Verdugo (44), Grant Holmes (60), Frankie Montas (82) and Willie Calhoun (98) were the Dodgers listed.
By comparison, the season-opening 2016 Baseball America 100 had Seager (1), Urías (4), De Leon (23), Maeda (50), Bellinger (54), Holmes (72) and Verdugo (100).
The new list does not include anyone taken in the 2016 draft or signed internationally this month.

Are any of these outfielders who could hit at least 200 to replace Van Slyke and Venable who adding their batting averages together barely crack that low standard barrier?
