* Singleton was 2/3 in the 2nd game, with a walk, up to .313 again.
* Julio Rodriguez with 10 K in 6 IP. 2.81 ERA in 51.1 IP with 58 K and 25 BB. Still just 19.
* Rough night for Schwim, his defense didn’t help.
I was hoping to write a longer post today, but due to some extenuating circumstances I haven’t had the time to do the research needed. That said, I did receive a few emails, so I’ll answer those below the fold. Thanks to those of you who submitted questions.
Last night, there were games played, and we’ll discuss them here. We won’t discuss trade rumors. You have places to discuss that, this post isn’t one of them.
GCL Phillies lost 7-4.
* Franco was 2/3 with a BB, now has 3 multi hit games in his last 5, and he’s hit safely in all 5. Doesn’t turn 18 for another month.
Williamsport won 7-2.
* Altherr goes 1/4
* Buchanan; 6 IP – 1 ER – 4 H – 2 BB – 5 K

Im going to write a column this weekend, and since I havent done it in a while I figured Id answer some questions. So if you have a question, send it to phuturephillies at gmail dot com and put “mailbag” in the subject. Do not post your questions here, Ill ignore them.
Thanks.
I won’t even bother with the box scores. All anyone is going to discuss are the trade rumors surrounding Jayson Werth and Roy Oswalt and whoever else. So just have a go, no using fighting it.
A new week is upon us. First, Sunday’s scores
Williamsport won 4-3.
Lakewood lost 4-1 and lost 4-0.
Reading won 4-0.
Lehigh Valley lost 5-4.
* Jiwan James sees his hitting streak snapped at 24 games
* I don’t know what got into Vance Worley of late, but its a good thing
* Singleton has 39 BB and 40 K through 60 games. Highly impressive on both counts
* Rizzotti is still hitting .357 after 213 AB.
And…..go!
If you must discuss potential trades, please do it in this post and don’t clutter other discussions with off topic comments. In my opinion, the Phillies should be protecting their top 10 or so prospects during the deadline, deal for a few rentals and make a run at squeezing into the playoffs. No sense trading any of our above average prospects for 1 year rentals when we need a lot of things to go right to just make the playoffs at this point. But, discuss away.
The most common question I get when people e-mail me is “What do you think of pitcher X” or “what is pitcher X’s upside”. I figured that this would be a good spot for me to talk a bit about how I look at pitchers, what I focus on, and why, and then to also talk a little about my theory on starting pitching designations in the majors. Hopefully this will answer some questions that people have, or just serve as a good discussion on player evaluation. So check below and we’ll get started.
