First baseman John Lindsey was the Pacific League’s batting champion, hitting .353. He also led the team with 25 home runs and 97 RBI. Third baseman Russ Mitchell was named the team’s Most Valuable Player. He ranked in the PCL top 10 in homers (23), RBI (87), doubles (38), hits (159), extra-base hits (63), total bases (270), runs (97) and batting average (.315). Left-handed reliever Juan Perez was named the club’s Pitcher of the Year after going 4-3 with a 2.96 ERA in 45.2 innings.

The Dodgers’ Double-A partner, the Chattanooga Lookouts, had an up-and-down season, finishing 65-74 overall. The bright side is a lot of Dodger prospects took steps forward in Chattanooga. Kenley Jansen went 4-0 with a 1.67 ERA and struck out 50 batters in 27 innings before being called up to the Majors on July 23. Outfielder Trayvon Robinson finished in the Southern League top 10 in batting average (.300), on-base percentage (.404), walks (73), runs (80), stolen bases (38) and OPS (.842). Shortstop Dee Gordon finished in the top 10 in runs (86), hits (154), triples (10) and led the league in stolen bases (53). Jerry Sands, despite playing only half the season with Chattanooga, as he started the season with the Single-A Great Lakes Loons, was tied for fourth in the Southern League with 17 home runs. Jon Huber was a bright spot in the bullpen, going 3-3 with a 2.30 ERA and 18 saves.

It was a struggle overall for the Advanced Single-A Inland Empire 66ers, yet a couple of players made the most of their limited time there. Outfielder Kyle Russell belted 16 homers and knocked in 53 runs, while batting .354 before a promotion to Chattanooga. Aaron Miller, the Dodgers’ 2009 first-round pick, was the team’s most steady pitcher, going 6-4 with a 2.92 ERA in 19 games, 17 starts.
