2021 Post Draft Discussion; August 1st
The Phillies have signed 19 of their 20 picks from the 2021 Amateur Draft and 10 non-drafter free agents. They added #16 RHP Ty Collins to the fold on Sunday. They have not signed their #19 selection. The signing bonuses for the 19 have been published. By my calculations, they spent over their draft allotment, but within the 5% overage that carries no penalty. They left a little over $34K on the table. The total spent on drafted and non-drafted players is a little over $9.5 million. Continue reading 2021 Post Draft Discussion; August 1st

Phillies Affiliates’ Recap (7/31/2021)

In other games, Reading lost as Jhailyn Ortiz was promoted to the Fightin’s. Jersey Shore won. Clearwater’s COVID-19 closure was extended to Tuesday, at the very least.

Phillies Affiliates’ Recap (7/27/2021)
The top teams went 0-4. Clearwater also almost lost two players in a deadline deal. Still might. Abel didn’t pitch last night on his turn. Lozano did. He’s either two before or two after Abel. I’ve no idea when he pitches again. Hope it’s not Wednesday.
I’ve got to get up early, so this is going to be short and sweet. Six more entries on the 60-day IL. Continue reading Phillies Affiliates’ Recap (7/27/2021)
