Excerpts from a transcript of BA's Kyle Glaser interacting with Dodgers fans about the LA farm system earlier this year:

Mike (Honolulu):

    Are Keibert Ruiz and Josiah Gray the clear #1-#2 in the system? Where are the breakpoints in prospect groupings in the Top 10?

Kyle Glaser: Yes, although there was some support for Busch and Hoese to be in the top two as well. The consensus was Miller and Cartaya could be in the top two next year, but no one was willing to go there quite yet. I'd honestly say the top six is a really interesting top group that's somewhat tightly packed, then you have Edwin Rios kind of in his own tier mashing in the majors, and then 8-11 was the next tier.

Mike (Honolulu):

    Does Keibert Ruiz push out Austin Barnes as the #2 Dodger catcher in 2021? 2022?

Kyle Glaser: We see how much the Dodgers value Barnes defensive ability every year in the postseason. I don't think they'll be so quick to move on from him.
