Open Discussion: Week of December 13th
It started out as a quiet week. The Winter Meetings were relegated to a bunch of zoom sessions, the Phillies had lost all but one candidate for their vacant front office position, an unexciting Rule 5 Draft was on the horizon, and a former Phillies’ great player(and shoulda-been-hall-of-famer) passed.

Open Discussion: Week of December 6th

2021 Discussion in Preparation for the Amateur Draft – December 2, 2020
Happy non-tender day! I hope everyone is healthy. Not a lot of activity in this discussion last week. The non-tenders joining the free agent market may continue to affect the amateur discussion.
This is the Phuture Phillies forum for the discussion of prospects eligible for the amateur draft that is scheduled to be held in about 7-8 months( July 11-13, 2021). You can place video, scouting reports, or just comments here. You can reference these weekly discussions on the menu above.
Feel free to discuss the 2021 international signing period, too. It begins on January 15, 2021 and runs through June 25, 2021.
This space is for the discussion of prospects in the upcoming draft and international signing period. This is NOT a space for you to complain about past picks/signings or the organization’s past/current draft and international philosophy.
