A nice article here...


a portion of it here...
...Alexander, who was signed by Dodger scout Mitch Webster in the 20th round of the 2004 First-Year Player Draft, just completed his third minor league season in the Dodgers' farm system. The right-handed reliever spent the majority of the season with the Double-A Jacksonville Suns, where he posted a 3-2 record with 26 saves while compiling an impressive 0.96 ERA. He spent July 17-Aug 20 playing with the Triple-A Las Vegas 51s where he went 2-1 with one save in 14.1 innings pitched. His 27 saves this season led all Dodger minor leaguers for a second consecutive season and tied him for second in the Southern League (26).

"Mark was a true stopper out of the bullpen," said Smith. "In addition to contributing to Triple-A Las Vegas, his 26 saves for Double-A Jacksonville were a major factor in helping the Suns reach the playoffs."

His most notable month of the 2006 season came in June when he made 10 appearances, tossing 10.0 shutout innings, surrendering only four hits while earning eight saves and fanning 16 of the 33 batters he faced.
