Oaks has posted a 3.84 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 59:13 K:BB in 65.2 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

His ratios have gone in the wrong direction compared to last year, but more importantly, he is recording more strikeouts, which will be crucial if he is to have success at the highest level. It appears to only be a matter of time until Oaks gets his first crack against big-league hitters, although it remains to be seen if the Dodgers will deploy him first in the rotation or the bullpen.
