Cody Overbeck, 26, Phils 9th round pick in 2008; .279/.318/.452 in 208 AB’s; 6HR 30 RBI; 6%bb/20% k rates; .269 vs. LH, .284 vs. RH, .296 with RISP; .256 with 4 HR and 16 RBI since May 1. 58 games at 1B without an error; 7.83 R/F. Overbeck continues to hit, showing good power the other way and is doing a nice job at first base but with limited range. Has also played 2 games at 3B without an error.

Box Score Recap 6-7-2012
Anyone who happens to see Colby Shreve, ask him if he knows what “inauspicious” means. Also tell him to take a couple weeks before he looks at his ERA in AA.
Box Score Recap 6-6-2012
Tyler Cloyd with another gem. Hard to look at his stats on the whole and not see some potential. However, his k/9 is down by around 1.5/9 over last year and his walks are up as well. Didn’t look at BABIP, but his WHIP is a seemingly unrealistic 0.86 at AAA. I’ll hold at “cautiously optimistic”. Continue reading Box Score Recap 6-6-2012
Hot or Not
Another week, another edition of Hot or Not.
–Excellent week for hitters throughout the organization with Dom Brown having perhaps one of the best offensive weeks in the system this year. Another three weeks of solid production and the Phils will have a decision to make, as he continues to improve his OF route running.
–The whispers are beginning about when/if to move Jesse Biddle up to Reading based on his recent dominance. I would give it at least another 6 or 7 starts at High A with similar results to what we have seen lately.
–There has been some debate about whether concern about Trevor May’s recent performance is “too early”. Its not based upon him having to be sent back to Low A less than a year and a half ago to get himself straight.
–Interesting week for Ethan Stewart who may have set a Phuture Phillies record by appearing on the Not Hot list for both starters and relievers. Stewart got back on track last night with a nice outing for Lakewood.
—Brody Colvin appears to be gaining some confidence in the bullpen. How log do the Phils keep him there?
–Watching Steve Susdorf, he is a player that simply knows how to hit. He came out of a major college program and has translated his success there to the upper minor league level nicely.
Hot Starters:Jesse Biddle (7IP 4IP 0ER 1BB 12K); Mario Hollands (W, 5IP 0H 0ER 1BB 5K); Tom Cochran (8ip 5H 2ER 3BB 8K) Continue reading Hot or Not
Draft Day Three
This is your place to talk about it….
Box Score Recap 6-5-2012
Pretty good night for starting pitchers overall. Also, Dom Brown with 4 hits, including two HR, plus an outfield assist. And someone on Twitter said he made a real nice catch in LF, which I cannot confirm.
Box Score Recap 6-4-2012
All that hitting in Clearwater and Cody Asche takes the collar. Continue reading Box Score Recap 6-4-2012
