So I’ll post this graphic here with whatever info I can compile from the various media reports. I’ll try to scan through the comments here for that kind of info, so if you see I’m missing something, just make mention of it in a new comment at the bottom of the page, and please post any media links if you have them, so I can save them on my end.
Box Score Recap – 6/8/2013
Pete Orr and Michael Martinez both went deep for the Pigs…somewhere Rube regrets his decision to hang onto Cesar Hernandez. Lesson learned, I’m sure. Quite an outing for Phillippe Aumont – 15 pitches, 14 strikes, struck out 4 of the 5 men he faced. And JC Ramirez got the save in that game. THE SECOND CLIFF LEE TRADE IS FINALLY PAYING OFF!
Jesse Biddle again reminding us that pitcher wins are a useless stat – 7IP, 1R, 4H, 3BB, 7K, 1 “Loss”. I’d give the loss to the Reading hitters, personally. They can share. So I guess Biddle still gets part of the loss. 1/9 of a loss.
And after being no-hit on Friday, the DSL club managed 2 hits on Saturday. An improvement of infinity %. So good for them.
Top 10 Round Recap
I am going to start by saying I really like what the Phillies did in the draft and they actually seem to be alternating pitching and hitting heavy drafts.
JP Crawford – Not much more to say here, best player available, and at a position of both need and overall scarcity. Crawford may need some time but he comes in as an easy Top 5 prospect in the Phillies system.
Signing Probability (Slot – $2,299,300) – 100%, it might take the whole slot but this is the Phillies guy Continue reading Top 10 Round Recap

Box Score Recap – 6/7/2013
Cody Asche had a nice day over 2 short games. Ethan Martin had a pretty bad day on the hill. John Lannan threw for CLR – Nothing to write home about, but he’s on the way back.
Just noticed the DSL was no-hit. Brutal.
Cord Sandberg Agrees to Terms
Short and sweet…Cord Sandberg, the Phils 3rd round pick has told his hometown newspaper that he has agreed to terms with the Phillies for $775K, about 160K over slot.
2013 VSL Phillies – Early Season Update
Both of the Latin American complex leagues have started in the past few weeks. This post and a subsequent DSL post will look at the new players on the roster and highlight some of the players to watch for this season.
The Phillies won the Venezuelan Summer League last year with a 48-22 record. The team did have a handful of prospects who have won promotion to GCL and above (Severino Gonzalez for example), though it was not a team with a great number of top tier prospects. They were a dominant team primarily because the quality of the rest of the league was relatively poor. The league dropped down to only 4 teams because of the political unrest in the country with most organizations sending their prospects to the DSL and even starting a 2nd DSL team to give them playing time. Continue reading 2013 VSL Phillies – Early Season Update
3rd – 5th Round Analysis
I will go more in-depth at then of the day, but are some quick notes.
3rd Round – Cord Sandberg – OF
It is going to take a bunch to sign Sandberg but it looks like the Phillies saved some money in the 2nd and they have been on Sandberg long enough to know what it will take. Sandberg has plus tools except for the hit tool, which due to his limited time playing baseball is really unknown. this is a boom or bust pick but he could be a Top 10 player in this draft if it works out. He is a typical Phillies pick but they got him in 3rd not the 1st. Continue reading 3rd – 5th Round Analysis
