Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has cooled over the past week, going just 3-for-19 (.158) over the last six games at Triple-A Oklahoma City. It has been a season of ebbs and flows for the Dodgers' ninth-ranked prospect, so this could be the calm before the red-hot resurgence. For the season, the […]
