In his role, he is responsible for developing and evaluating all players in the Dodgers’ minor league system, appointing all minor league managers and coaching staff, as well as all coordinator and instructor positions. He also oversees the clubs’ winter ball participation, Latin American player development and relationships between the Dodgers and their minor league affiliates as well as consulting with the general manager about 40-man roster moves.

He moved to the profes-sional scouting side with the Reds in 2001 and 2002.

Watson first began working in baseball in 1991 with the Florida Marlins following a five-year playing career in the Royals’ organization. He started as an area scout in Los Angeles and was a member of Florida’s front office when the club won its first World Championship in 1997.

A graduate of Santa Monica High School, Watson was as an outfielder/first baseman at West Los Angeles Community College, where he played for current Dodger scout Artie Harris and was a third-round draft choice of the Royals. He and his wife, Joal, reside in Maricopa, Arizona with their daughter, Mia and son, Michael.

avila Wins international scout of tHe year At the 2006 Scout of the Year banquet in Orlando, FL longtime Dodger

scout and executive Ralph Avila was named as the inaugural International Scout of the Year. The program, founded in 1984, was created in order to bring positive recognition to the profession of scouting and honor those who have devoted their time and energy to the game of baseball while showing professionalism in the scouting field.

Avila pioneered the advent of training facilities and baseball leagues in Latin America, leading him to establish deep roots in fertile areas such as Guerra in the Dominican Republic, home to Campo las Palmas, the Dodgers’ Latin American academy.

The Dodgers have had just two other scouts earn such an honor in the past -- Dale McReynolds, who was named the Midwest Scout of the Year in 1987 and Carl Loewenstine, who took home East Coast Scout of the Year honors in 2005.

a player, coach, coordinator and manager. He guided the Suns to the Southern League Championship in 2005 and “Minor League Team of the Year” honors, according to Baseball America. The Suns were also chosen as MLB.com’s overall and Double-A Team of the Year for 2005. He returned to the managerial ranks that season following a stint as the organization’s Assistant Field Coordinator.

This season marks Shoemaker’s 17th campaign as a manager. Last year’s first-half champion posted an 86-54 overall record, including a 15-game winning streak and a span of 23 wins in 24 games. He previ-

ously managed at Las Vegas in 2003 and Jacksonville in 2001, when his Suns posted an 83-56 overall mark and won both first and second-half East Division crowns en route to being declared Southern League co-champions. In 1996, he piloted Single-A Savannah to the South Atlantic League title.

Following his playing days, Shoemaker was the hitting coach at Single-A Vero Beach for six seasons (1981-86) before start-ing his managerial career with Vero Beach (1987-88). His 1988 Vero Beach club went 75-62, winning a first-half championship. He returned to manage Vero Beach for three seasons (1997-98, 2000) with his 1997 team reaching the Florida State League finals. After his first stint at Vero Beach, Shoemaker moved up to Double-A San Antonio for three seasons (1989-91), leading the 1990 club to a 78-56 record, a second-half division title and a Texas League finals appearance.

Shoemaker has also managed Rookie-level St. Lucie (1992) and Great Falls (1995) and Single-A Yakima (1993). He returned to Vero Beach in 1994 as hitting coach, a position he also held for San Antonio in 1999. In 2002, he was the organiza-tion’s defensive instructor.

Drafted and signed by the Dodgers in June 1977, the Chillicothe, OH native played four seasons as an infielder in the Dodger system. He played baseball and was captain of the basketball team at Miami (OH) University. His basketball talents earned him a sixth-round selection by the Chicago Bulls in the 1978 NBA draft.
