    Midway through the entry, there’s a photo gallery from spring training which includes pics of Jason Donald and Brad Harman.

    From that Arbuckle interview, re: busting slot in the draft:

    “I think generally we have been a club and are a club that tries to do what’s best for the industry. Every club has to make their own decisions as to how they’re going to go about doing their business, but I do think that there is something to be said for trying to do what’s best for the industry.”

    On the surface this statement seems reasonable but it assumes the Phillies know what is best for the industry. Evidence suggests they don’t.

    In fact, this line of thinking got them into to trouble with Howard’s arbitration (which sucked for the industry) and leaves them at a critical disadvantage in the draft. Ironically, their “sacrifice” also hurts the industry, since “compliance” to the slotting system is spotty at best, with many of the richest teams taking advantage.

    Bottom line: competitive imbalance isn’t good for the industry and the Phillies FO should choose their battles more wisely.

    The slotting system barely deserves to be called a system.

    Maybe if every team busted slot in the next draft MLB would be forced to create a system that actually works. Meanwhile, the more the Phillies comply while others do not, the more the Phillies will be disadvantaged with no clear benefit to the industry.

    Tyson Brummett is quickly emerging as the best pitcher at low A and should get the call at his age to Clearwater if starting pitchers move up.

    A writer is doing a tour of D.R. baseball. On his first update he stopped at the Phillies baseball academy.
