Still riding the euphoric high from the Phillies’sweep of the Braves, I went to the Complex. I got there around 10:00 PM. Two busses were parked in the parking lot. Groups were already on the back fields (Carlton and Roberts). Players were drifting onto Schmidt and Ashburn.
I skirted the perimeter of the back fields, identifying as many players as I could. Pitchers tossed on Carlton. Others pitchers performed a drill on Roberts where they threw an object at a wall they stood fairly close to, like 6 feet close. Position players exercised on both fields.
Infielders took ground balls and outfielders took fly balls on Roberts. Pitchers took PFPs on Carlton. When the pitchers broke for running, the position players took BP.
Some pitchers threw bullpens on the seven mounds. I could only make out Tom Lehman.
Players identified include –
- Mitchell Edwards
- Abrahan Gutierrez
- Herbert Iser
- Ben Brown
- Blake Brown
- Joel Cesar
- Julian Garcia
- Kevin Gowdy
- Christian Hernandez
- Jake Hernandez
- Jonathan Hughes
- Tom Lehman
- Ethan Lindow
- Robinson Martinez
- Tyler McKay
- Austin Ross
- Juan Santos
- Billy Sullivan
- Nate Fassnacht
- Luis Garcia
- Dalton Guthrie
- Matt Kroon
- Luke Miller
- Cole Stobbe
- Madison Stokes
- Bryson Stott
- Cornelius Randolph
- Keaton Greenwalt
- Hunter Hearn
- Rudy Rott
- Corbin Williams
These guys, along with Jonathan Guzman, Chris Cornelius, McCarthy Tatum, Jhailyn Ortiz, and, Mark Appel who were seen Saturday, bring the confirmed count to 36 players.
@jimpeyton19 I may have a little more info for you if you contact me through email.
Will we be able to resign Chatham?
Can Scott Kingery be fixed?
Is anyone ready to come up to play SS or 2B?
Chatham was already resigned.
I was on Phillies.com looking for transactions and ran across their Top 30 prospects. They list an ETA to reach MLB for each player. Most of the entries are very optimistic, maybe even wishful thinking. I didn’t see who writes their reviews or provides the ETA’s.
My observation is that ETAs for all the various services are basically trite and meaningless. I don’t put any stock in them.
