Keith Law Ranks Phillies Prospects (Org Rank, Top 100, Top 10)

Top Prospect Lists

This week Keith Law released all of his various prospect rankings, overall they were very optimistic and should give Phillies fans a lot of hope.

Org Rank: 14

Keith ranked the Phillies as his 14th org in all of baseball.  The ranking was driven by a strong 2013 draft topped by J.P. Crawford.  This puts the Phillies 2nd among NL East teams, and is overall very optimistic.
