Connor Seabold, 22, Phils 3rd round pick in 2017; 13 starts between CLearwater and Reading; 4-5 with a 4.22ERA; 74.2IP 65H 16BB 71K; 1.08WHIP; 1.9BB/8.6K per 9; .236 vs LHH, .222 vs RHH, .274 opp avg with runners on base; Seabold was just recently promoted and made his first AA start which was bumpy.

Phuture Phillies 
Loaded at the sp position. LhP ,Rhp , all doing well. Pretty soon a move will have too be made. I mean lively and Eickoff will come back then what .
Lively is staying at Lehigh. There are no assurances that Eickhoff will even be able to pitch this year. And if he does, we still need to see his fastball. Remember last season, his fastball dipped to 89-91.
Not my pt Guru there’s no room at AAA either. I didnt mean the parent club.
Does it really matter? You have to figure that De Los Santos and Irvin are ahead of Lively. Eickhoff needs to prove he’s healthy.
Anyways, I’m guessing that Anderson and Eshelman gets moved to the bullpen.
Gregg, I love these around the system features. On this one I have one minor adjustment. Harold Arauz didn’t come from the Dodgers but was included in the Giles trade from Houston.
If we look at that trade 3 years on, Oberholtzer is gone. Appel is gone. Eshelman has to be injured to be pitching this poorly. Velasquez is holding up (although currently on the DL after that comebacker to his arm) and Arauz, a last minute tweak to the trade, is still fighting to make it to the big leagues.
Correct on Arauz.
The word from the clubhouse on Eshelman is that he’s not at all injured. His velocities and secondary pitches have been fine. It’s simply been his inability to command and locate his fastball. They’re working to get it back, but it’s been a tough year for him. He remains determined to get it fixed.
Crazy, since Eschelman was known for his pin point control, he delivered on that all the way up until now. He has certainly taken a step back after knocking on The Majors door.
From other commentors posts, a log jam in the SP area is getting worse. With what is at the MLB level down to AA, the GM needs to free up some roster spots with a trade… for a bat. No neEd to throw players away, but let’s hope Klentak navigates this embarrament of riches correctly.
Cole, Ranger, Enyel, Sixto, Adonis, JoJo – this is a really exciting group of young arms. Really looking forward to watching them progress.
What about Kilome? He WAS the arm to follow for awhile, or do you think he has been passed over for these newer prospects?
The starting rotation, once the strength of the AAA team will be taking some hits in short order. The All Star Break can’t come soon enough. Ranger Suarez has an injured groin; you’ll see him go on the DL shortly. Waguespack will take his spot in the rotation. Lively, as we know, has a bad shoulder with no timetable for return. After Anderson’s bomb last night in front of the visiting Kapler, he’ll likely get passed over for the pending promotion to help Philadelphia on Monday. Perhaps a 60-day move will open the 40-man spot necessary for De Los Santos or Irvin. DLS needs a spot after the season anyway. Brandon Leibrandt’s status is unknown at this time.
Elniery Garcia was traded to St. Louis for International Bonus space today. The amount of the International Bonus is not known now. Good move by Phillies as St. Louis is under MLB penalty.
