Lehigh Valley

Logan Moore, 28, Phils 9th round pick in 2011; .188/.289/.262 in 264PA; 3HR 14RBI; 11%BB/23%K; .176 vs RHP; .250 vs LHP; 75 games caught with 3 errors and 5 passed balls; 23/53 CS (43%); Moore continued as a plus receiver but was non existent with the bat.  With 8 full years in the organization, I expect the Phils to part ways with Moore.  Grade: D+

Nick Rickles, 28, Acquired from Washington in 2017; .245/.271/.394 in 199PA; 7HR 26RBI; 4%BB/22%K; .267 vs RHP; .217 vs LHP; 48 games caught with 1 error and 1 passed ball; 5/23 CS (22%); Rickles did a good job receiving and was adequate with the bat but mediocre throwing runners out.  Grade: C+; 2019: May be back for depth, but likely elsewhere.

Matt McBride, 33, Signed as a free agent in 2018; .242/.333/.479 in 223PA; 10HR 26RBI; 12%BB/19%K; 23 games caught with 3 errors and 2 passed balls; 5/23 CS (22%); 21 games at 1B with 1 error; McBride came home to likely finish his career and added some punch to the ‘Pigs lineup.  Grade: C

Deivi Grullon, 22, Signed as a free agent in 2013; .273/.310/.515; 21HR 59RBI; 5%BB/23%K; .313 vs LHP; .260 vs RHP; .250 post all star; .229 with RISP; 87 games caught with 12 errors and 10 passed balls; 28/85 CS(33%); Grullon really came into his own this season and was a EL All Star, showing both significant power with the bat and a very good arm.  Grade: A-; 2019: Lehigh Valley and added to the 40 man

Austin Bossart, 25, Phils 14th round pick in 2015; .273/.323/.438 in 176AB; 7HR 29RBI; 6%BB/20%K; .340 vs LHP; .244 vs RHP; .196 post all star break; .370 with RISP; 51 games caught with 2 errors and 7 passed balls; 23/71 CS(32%); Solid season as a backup plus for Reading.  The Bossart/Grullon combo put up 28HR 88RBI and threw out 33% of would be base stealers.  Grade: B+; 2019: Backup in Lehigh Valley Continue reading Around the System–Catcher, FInal Grades

Lehigh Valley

Tom Eshelman, 24, Acquired from Houston in 2015; 27 games (26 starts); 2-13 with a 5.84ERA; 1.67WHIP; 2.9BB/6.7Kper 9; 140IP;.281 vs RHH, .365 vs LHH,0-4 with a 6.68ERA since Aug 1; Eshleman had just an abysmal year after multiple very good seasons in the organization.  Pre-season, I thought he had a chance of seeing time with the Phillies.  He simply couldn’t get anyone out and lost his pinpoint command; Grade: F; 2019: Back to Lehigh Valley

Cole Irvin, 24, Phils 5th round pick in 2016; 26 games (25 starts); 14-4 with a 2.57ERA; 161IP; 1.05WHIP; 2.0BB/7.3K per 9; .230 vs RHH, .217 vs LHH; 5-1 with a 1.41ERA since Aug 1; Irvin was perhaps the best starter in the IL and got better as the season went along.  He has progressed each year in the system and with the Phils in need of a left handed starter, he will get the first shot in ’19.   Grade: A

Enyel De Los Santos, 22, Acquired from San Diego in 2017; 22 starts; 10-5 with a 2.63ERA: 127IP; 1.16WHIP; 3.1BB/7.8K per 9;.249 vs RHH, .216 vs LHH; 1-1 with a 3.00ERA in 5 starts since August 1; De Los Santos put himself on the map this season with an excellent 2018 where he was consistently very good.  Grade: A-; 2019: Likely will bounce back and forth between Lehigh Valley and Philly challenging for a rotation spot.

Drew Anderson, 24, Phils 21st pick in 2012; 9-4 with a 3.87ERA in 19 starts with Lehigh Valley; 111IP; 1.15WHIP; 2.5BB/7.2K per 9; .250 vs RHH, .221 vs LHH; 3.63ERA in 6 starts since Aug 1; Anderson’s season got started about 6 weeks late after coming back from injury.   He was solid, yet not overpowering this season.  Got a cup of coffee on multiple occasions with the Phils and struggled.  Grade: B-; 2019: Lehigh Valley Continue reading Around the System–Starting Pitching, LV, REA, CW–Final Grades

Hoby Milner, 27, Phils 7th round pick in 2012; 25 games, 0-0 with a 2.39ERA; 26.1IP 21H 14BB 28K; 1.32WHIP; 4.8BB/9.6K per 9; .236 vs LHH, .226 vs RHH, .273 opp avg last 30 days; Milner has thrown well for Lehigh Valley and not so well for the Phillies in multiple chances this season.

Tyler Gilbert, 24, Phils 6th round pick in 2015; 28 games, 4-1 with a 3.48ERA between Reading and Lehigh Valley; 41.1IP 31H 10BB 47K; 0.99WHIP; 2.2BB/10.2K per 9; .172 vs LHH, .219 vs RHH, .148 opp avg last 28 days; Gilbert has been very impressive moving up from AA about wo weeks ago.  Likely to be added to the 40 man this off season.

Hector Neris, 29, Signed as a free agent in 2009; Has thrown in 5 games for Lehigh Valley (5IP), allowing 3 hits and 2 walks, no ER and striking out 8; Neris continues to work to regain his confidence and his splitter while in Allentown.

Seth McGarry, 24, Acquired from Pittsburgh in 2017; 29 games, 1-2 with a 3.51ERA; 3SV; 41IP 32H 23BB 38K; 1.34WHIP; 5.0BB/8.3K per 9; .187 vs LHH, .254 vs RHH, .195 opp avg last 28 days; McGarry has been solid but gets hurt often by walks.

Luke Leftwich, 24, Phils 7th round pick in 2015; 28 games, 0-3 with a 3.86ERA; 3SV; 35IP 32H 15BB 38K; 1.34WHIP; 3.9BB/9.8K per 9; .275 vs LHH, .206 vs RHH; .318 opp avg last 28 days; Another pitcher who started very strong but has struggled over the last 6 weeks (5.79ERA).

Alexis Rivero, 23, Signed as a free agent in 2012; 27 games between CLearwater and Reading, 3-1 with a4.68ERA; 3 SV; 42.1IP 39H 18BB 26K; 1.34WHIP; 3.8BB/5.5K per 9; .247 vs LHH, .247 vs RHH; Rough beginning on the year for Rivero but continued improvement and a 3.15ERA since June 1.

Jeff Singer, 24, Re-Signed as a free agent in 2018; 26 games between CW and Reading; 0-4 with a 2.52ERA: 9SV; 35.2IP 26H 14BB 37K; 1.12WHIP; 3.5BB/9.3K per 9; .267 vs LHH, .175 vs RHH; .196 opp avg last month; Taking away his abysmal April, Singer has a 1.11ERA over the last two plus months.  Throwing very well.

Trevor Bettencourt, 24, Phils 25th round pick in 2016; 11games, 1-0 with a 3.18ERA; 1.35WHIP; 3.8BB/9.5K per 9; Bettencourt has now been on the DL for two plus months.  Had been pitching well the first month of the season after spending time in the AFL.

Josh Tols, 28, SIgned as a free agent in 2018; 12 games between Clearwater and Reading; 1-0 with a 1.96ERA; 18.1IP 3H 12BB 28K; 0.82WHIP; 5.9BB/13.7K; Tols is a 5’7 enigma who seemingly cant be hit, walks alot of batters and strikes out those he doesnt walk.   I anticipate the opposition catching up.

Aaron Brown, Phils 3rd round pick in 2014 draft; 31 games between CLearwater and Reading; 3-4 with a 5.03ERA; 4SV; 39.1IP 49H 18BB 43K; 1.70WHIP; 4.1BB/9.8K per 9; .419 vs LHH, .235 vs RHH.  Brown was promoted out of necessity to Reading because of the numbers game and has been largely ineffective all season.

Matt McBride, 33, Signed as a free agent in 2018; .250/.357/.560 in 99PA: 7HR 14RBI; 14%BB/22%K; .267 vs LHP; .241 vs RHP; .341 last 28 days; 14 games at 1B with 1 error; 6 games caught with 1 error; A very slow start by McBride has been overcome by a very hot May/June during which he has hot for power.

Mitch Walding, 25, Phils 5th round pick in 2011; .264/.385/.477 in 234PA: 9HR 31RBI: 15%BB/29%K; .254 vs LHP; .258 vs RHP; .225 in June; 56 games at 3B with 7 errors (.953); 2 games at 1B without an error; Walding has been slumping in June after amajor league debut that saw him strike out in all 6AB’s.  That said, overall, still decent numbers this season.

Reading

Around the System–Outfield

Second trip around….

Lehigh Valley

Danny Ortiz, Signed as a free agent in 2018; .219/.267/.368 in 217PA; 8HR 31RBI; 6%BB/24%K; .206 vs LHP; .225 vs RHP; .184 last month; 43 games in the OF with 1 error and 4 OF assits; Ortiz started very strong but his offense has been nearly non-existant for some time now.

Collin Cowgill, 32, Signed as a free agent in 2018; .208/.288/.354 in 164PA; 5HR 18RBI; 2SB; 9%BB/24%K; .283 vs LHP; .155 vs RHP; .225 last 30 days; 39 games in the OF with 1 error and 2 OF assists; Very limited success this year, almost soley against LHP.

Adron Chambers, 31, Signed as a free agent in 2018; Hitting .325 in 40 AB thus far; Just came off the suspended list and has provided some degree of life for a struggling LV offense

Roman Quinn, 25, Phils 2nd round pick in 2011; Hitting .289/.340/.444 in 90AB before landing on the DL once again for what has been another long term injury.

Reading

Jan Hernandez, 23, Phils 3rd round pick in 2013; .308/.345/.481 in 201PA; 7HR 33RBI; 5SB; 5%BB/29%K; .245 vs LHP; .331 vs RHP; .295 over last month; .337 on the road; 51 games in the OF with 4 errors (.960); 3 OF assists; Hernandez was nearly written off as a prospect but has re-emerged with force in the OF as a true bright spot thus far.  He has been very good with the bat, and the FirstEnergy factor is only marginally in play looking at his average away from home.

Cornelius Randolph, 21, Phils 1st round pick in 2015; .190/.271/.245 in 208AB; 1HR 12RBI; 1SB; 10%BB/25%K; .270 vs LHP; .170 vs RHP; .169 over the last month; .138 on the road; 46 games in the OF with 4 errors (.937); 5 OF assists; Simply abysmal.  This is when we remind ourselves that Randolph is “only 21” as many like to point out.  At whatever age, 4 years in as a minor leaguer, this line is a concern.

Jiandido Tromp, 24, SIgned as a free agent in 2011; .219/.331/.325 in 178PA; 2HR 14RBI; 3SB; 13%BB/25%K; .220 vs LHP; .218 vs RHP; .200 last month; 34 games in the OF with 4 errors (.937); 2 OF assists; The lone bright spot is a solid walk rate.

Cord Sandberg, 23, Phils 3rd round pick in 2013; .252/.282/.369 in 117PA; 3HR 9RBI; 1SB; 4%BB/20%K; .267 vs LHP; .250 vs RHP; .241 last month; 24 games in the OF without an error; 3 OF assits; Sandberg was receiving very little playing time until Coppola went on the DL.  SInce then, he has been serviceable.

Zach Coppola, 24, Phils 13th round pick in 2015; .194/.327/.202 in 163PA before landing on the DL about three weeks ago.

Clearwater

Adam Haseley, 22, Phils 1st round pick in 2017; .290/.331/.395 in 263PA; 3HR 33RBI; 7SB; 5%BB/16%K; .322 vs LHP; .272 vs RHP; .340 over last month; 59 games in the OF with 3 errors (.950); 3 OF assists; Haseley has really taken it up a notch over the last month, showing why he went where he did in the draft; He is on track to get some AB’s in Reading before the end of the season.

Mickey Moniak, 20, Phils 1st round pick in 2016; .244/.263/.307 in 214PA; 1HR 23RBI; 4SB; 2%BB/26%K; .267 vs LHP, .231 vs RHP; .274 last 30 days; 52 games in the OF without an error; 1 OF assist. A good last month which has been recently interruped by illness, keeping Moniak out of the lineup for the last week.

Jose Pujols, 22, Signed as a free agent in 2012; .302/.353/.488 in 221PA: 9hr 31RBI; 6%BB/35%; .284 vs LHP; .315 vs RHP; .301 over last month; 52 games in the OF with 6 errors (.939); 5 OF assists; Something has apparantly clicked for Pujols this year who has been very good, albeit with some bumps in the road with the glove and a continued high K rate.

Lakewood

Josh Stephen, 20, Phils 11th round pick in 2016; .207/.255/.287 in 161PA; 3 HR 14RBI; 6%BB/20%K; .195 vs LHP; .211 vs RHP; .214 last 28 days; 47 games in the OF with 1 error; 1 OF assist; Negligible offensive production.

Kevin Markham, 24, Phils 24th round pick in 2017; .237/.309/.320 between CLearwater and Lakewood in 188PA; 2 HR 14RBI; 11SB; 7%BB/15%K; .243 over last 28 days; 51 games in the OF with 4 errors; 6 OF assists; Good speed, Good arm…bat has been middle of the road at best.

Jhailyn Ortiz, 19, SIgned as a free agent in 2015; .264/.316/.396 in 155PA: 4HR 15RBI; 5%BB/32%K; .261 vs LHP; .265 vs RHP; .333 last 28 days; 37 games in the OF with 2 errors and 2 OF assists

Reading

Deivi Grullon, 22, Signed as a free agent in 2012; .312/.333/.606 in 109AB; 9HR 25RBI; 4%BB/19%K; .333 vs LHP; .306 vs RHP; 29 games caught with 5 errors (.979); 10/32 CS (31%); Grullon has been outstanding with the bat and while his power may be partially atreibutable to the “Reading effect” (7HR at home), he is hitting over .300 on the road.  Defense has not been subpar but not quite as good as in years passed.

Austin Bossart, 24, Phils 14th round pick in 2015; .242/.286/.409 in 66AB; 2HR 7RBI; 6%BB/23%K; 20 games caught without an error; 9/30 CS (30%); Bossart continues to do a very nice job as the back up to Grullon.
