Phuture Phillies

Trevor May the lone Phillies prospect in Keith Law’s 2012 Top 100

You can check out Keith Law’s Top 100 prospects list over at ESPN (Insider only), and you should because he does a great job, and you’ll find only one Phillie in the top 100…Trevor May at #76. This is not a surprise at all, nor is the appearance of a number of former Phillies prospects. Travis D’Arnaud came in at #6, while Jon Singleton is #46, Anthony Gose is #59 and Jarred Cosart is #78. Additionally he does a top 10 for each team, and the big surprises (to me at least) are Julio Rodriguez at #8 and Perci Garner at #10.

I’m having issues embedding a link. So just use this link (again, Insider stuff) to get to the Top 100, and then the team lists are linked on the right side.

2012 Reader Top 30, #30

Well, it is the end of the line. In total there have been about 12,000 votes cast in this year’s Reader Top 30, and for your participation I am very thankful. We had a very tight grouping in the voting for #29, with 3 guys separated by just 2 votes. I’m going to award #29 to Ervis Manzanillo, who is first with 72 votes. For #30, we’ll simply do a run-off vote between JC Ramirez and Leandro Castro. My plan, as of writing this right now, is to publish my top 30 tomorrow. But this will depend on me being able to focus and write for 6 hours later tonight to get everything in order. So it may happen. Or it might have to wait till Monday. I apologize in advance if I’m not able to make my deadline tonight. But, let’s finish the voting here.
