Jim Callis quick hits

From today’s chat at ESPN

dan ( philly): Big Mike Taylor or Dom Brown?

SportsNation Jim Callis: Brown.

///

Dave (Philly): Carrasco or Drabek in 5 years?

SportsNation Jim Callis: Drabek.

Update, 12/4: Keith Law did a chat today

Phil (PA): Who are your top 3 Phillies prospects, relative to age and level?

SportsNation Keith Law: (2:28 PM ET ) Did I answer this above? Donald, Brown, Carrasco, probably Taylor next. I’m a little down on Marson, whose swing is going to generate a ton of groundballs.

Jason Donald ranked #17 in AFL

Can’t say I agree with him ranking this low, but I’m not all that surprised. Scouting excerpt

He can do it all as Donald split his AFL days playing second, third and short. He doesn’t have a dynamic tool, but one scout raved, “When you look at this list five years from now, he’s going to be a good ball player.” He squares the ball up, makes hard contact and shows power.
