  2. New Inquirer article in which Miller discusses learning from his “first taste of failure” when he struggled at Jersey Shore. A good sign.

  4. Keaton Anthony probably needs to be in the new top 30 after the season…..slashing 342/.430/.477……K-rate-15%….BB-rate-12%…..and perhaps let him develop more in an OF corner, along with at 1B….57 games so far in the OF from 2021 ( at Iowa) thru last year.

      1. Crawford will likely make his debut around summer 2025. Maybe sooner if Rojas has a poor start again.

        Rincones will need to stay healthy and go wild at Lehigh to force the Phillies to think about trading Castellanos.

        Note that Anthony has only played 1B/DH in his minor league career. He can hit but it’ll be interesting to see where he fits into the Phillies’ plans.
