Let’s hope the Phillies drafted better than the affiliates played yesterday.  Everybody lost except the Complex team.  Well, we know why Cam Bedrosian was available.  He blew a save and took the loss for Lehigh Valley.  Reading got beat bad.  Jersey Shore got shut out wasting some good pitching.  Clearwater got beat like they got caught stealing something while their opponent ran wild on the basepaths.  And, both DSL teams combined to lose four games at the start of their seasons.  Only the FCL Phillies managed to avoid losing, posting wins Monday and Tuesday.
