Not a banner night down on the farm, as the Phillies four affiliates went 1-4. The Lakewood team may never hit. Stutes gave up a run. Darkness washed over this site. But after you regain your composure, check below the fold for the rundown.

Box Score Roundup, 13 April 2011
Hey everyone. The second game just started in Lakewood, there’s no way I’ll be around to post that, so we’ll have to do without. If someone wants to add it tomorrow, that would be cool, if not, we’ll, we’ll gettem next time. Some solid performances tonight, including the continued mashing from Joe Savery, Leandro Castro continuing his hot start, and Jon Pettibone turning in another great effort. Basically the Clearwater team is awesome. Box scores are below the fold.

Hey kids. More box scores. Only 2 games to discuss tonight, but some solid efforts and notable performances. Discuss all of this and more below the fold. Thanks!
Box Score Recap, 11 April 2011
Hi folks. The graphic below the fold is missing the AAA box score, I have to go and won’t have time to upload it. If gregg or Chuck or anyone else with access wants to add it, go for it, I’ve just been using screencaps + mspaint to make the files. Thanks for understanding.
Box Score Roundup, 10 April 2011
Today’s box scores are below the jump. And no, I do not know why Brody Colvin came out after 2 innings. Hopefully we’ll find out more soon.
Box score recap, 7 April 2011
Welcome to the first box score recap of 2011. My plan is to post the line and box scores for all 4 games (and then all 6 games when the short season leagues start in June) every night, and that post can serve as your place to discuss the games and other prospect news…..until the next night’s box scores are posted. I tried doing this last year as well, this year I’m totally committed. Or at least for now! Anyway, lets get started. No real analysis by me, you know how I feel about sample sizes, so I’ll let you guys do the analysis. On with the box scores.
Opening day is here
Hello everyone. After a long cold winter, and seeing brief glimpses in spring training, the minor league season kicks off Thursday, and we’re back to having lots of box scores to dissect and lots of players to analyze. With this in mind, I wanted to give a brief update, and then make two appeals to you, my loyal readers. First, Gregg, Dave and Chuck will again be helping me crank out reports for the full season affiliates. Dave will be following the 2010 Lakewood crop to Clearwater, Chuck will be covering Reading, and Gregg will continue his outstanding coverage of Lehigh Valley, which looks to have one of the best squads our AAA affiliate has had in a long time. I will also be coming out of retirement to write the weekly Lakewood report, as well as a weekly (or bi-weekly) notes column, if time permits. So look for those reports to start up in a couple of weeks once we have games to discuss. If you haven’t read my “how you can help phuturephillies.com in 2011” article, please do so. With so many games and so many interesting players to watch, input from you, the reader, who attends games sees our guys in action is vital to making this site even better. And my second appeal is this; lets try to strive for patience and rational analysis/discussion this season. As Brody Colvin taught us last year, making snap judgments after a few games is often foolish. Let’s wait until we have at least sort of meaningful samples, and let’s discuss things in a calm, reasonable manner. This site has grown leaps and bounds in 4+ years, and its something I’m incredibly proud of. For the most part, the people who read often and participate in the discussions do a great job of self-policing, ignoring the people just looking to get a rise out of others, and making this place great. I ask that everyone up their game even more this year, so I don’t have to be comments police. I want to spend more time writing articles for the site and looking for new features to add and less time playing blog sheriff.
With all of that said, here’s to a fantastic 2011 minor league season.

Alex Eisenberg, the brains behind baseball-intellect.com has provided me with tons of good Phillies related bits in the past, and he reached out to me to provide this detailed scouting report, along with mechanical analysis, of Phillies prospect Brody Colvin. Eisenberg ranked Colvin 4th in the Phillies system and assigned him a B grade. His full thoughts will be outlined in the post below. In addition, he’s offering a special deals for access to his members only exclusive content by clicking on this link. He provides tons of excellent scouting reports, video analysis, and other goodies during the season, including coverage leading up to the draft. So check that out if you’re interested. Now, the full report from Alex on Brody Colvin, below the fold.

On Mathieson and Stutes
I was going to make a comment, but didn’t want to bury it deep in the last post about all of the roster cuts. Mathieson and Stutes were drawing lots of interesting discussion, and I figured I’d share my thoughts as well. I’m actually also planning on a new piece that will be up either later tonight or tomorrow about my predictions for 2011, so be sure to check back for that. In the meantime, more on Mathieson and Stutes below the fold
How you can help phuturephillies.com this season
I receive emails asking this exact question from time to time. It thrills me that so many people continue to visit this site, and the contributions from readers, both in the form of discussion and submissions makes this site what it is. With that said, I wanted to outline the things you can do to help, including what you can provide while at games that can be a big benefit. The first area you can help is with tracking down news articles and links related to our current prospects. With all of the profile pages added, my goal is to update and make these pages better as the season progresses. When someone you know says “Hey, who is this Jon Singleton guy”, I’d appreciate you telling them, and giving them the link to the Jon Singleton profile here, which contains his scouting report, an assessment of his tools, and his player history. The second area where you can help is by going to games and then reporting back things you see. Some people aren’t sure what to look for, so I’ll go into that in detail below the fold.
