Reading Phillies Weekly Report (8/6-8/12)

It is a bit sad to write about the Reading Phillies these days.  Many of the prospects who started the year at Reading have moved on, either through promotions, trades, or the Olympics.  However, we are left with a few nice prospects at Reading, mostly arms, who might be able to help the big league club in the near future.  Which is nice, because they aren’t helping the Reading Phillies at the moment, as the club lost 5 of 7 games on the week, mostly because of a putrid offense which scored only 24 runs in the 7 games.  Let’s highlight some of the prospects and take a look at what they have done…
