Phuture Phillies 2020 Reader Top 30 Poll for the Phillies #28 Prospect

Connor Brogdon was selected as the organization’s #27 prospect.  He received 34 of the 129 votes cast (26%).  Jhailyn Ortiz finished second with 29 votes (22%).  Christopher Sanchez finished third with 17 votes (13%).

Cole Irvin and Josh Stephen received 16 votes (12%).  Andrew Schultz received 7 votes.  Addison Russ received 6 votes.  And, Colton Eastman received 4 votes.

With Brogdon’s selection, David Parkinson and Bailey Falter will be added to the poll.

I have received requests to add Jamari Baylor, Victor Santos, Juan Aparicio, Gunner Mayer, and Brett Schulze.  I’ll consider these five plus a few others I think should be considered like maybe Andrick Nava.

Reminder:  I am going to run several polls past thirty.  Let’s assume that they are so that I have prospects on hand to add to the top thirty as other prospects graduate to the Phillies, lose prospect status, are traded to another organization, or for some other reason are dropped from the top thirty.

Poll results will remain hidden.

Spring Training Update, 1/20/2020

A cold snap ripped through Florida today.  It was 49 degrees when I climbed into my car to drive to the Complex … in shorts, because I’m not a native Floridian.  And, it was bound to warm up.  It did, a little.  Starting times still fluctuate a little, but arriving around 9:00 AM is good practice for spring training.
