It's not odd that they are trying to see their versatility, but it's odd that they are doing it with 2 weeks left.

Rumor has it that tomorrow Crawford will be the bat boy and Kingery the PA announcer.

[LoneStarPhan]

I heard that players would draw their position from a hat tomorrow.

[Squire]

If the point of the last 6 weeks was to destroy Moniaks confidence, I think they succeeded.

Juan Mendez, 18 year-old DSL White catcher is back after more than a month and homered tonight. No idea if he is an actual prospect as he is a little old for the league, but he was playing so well I half expected him to show up at GCL instead of being hurt for a month (which appears to be the case). Note it is really hard to homer in the DSL (big stadiums) and he seems to have a good deal of power even though he is an undersized catcher (5'10", 165). 4 2B, 7 3B, 3 HR in only 140 AB.

I find it odd that the Phillies are trying to throw both of them into two new positions in a space of a week. I did see Crawford make a very nice diving play on a hot line drive while playing 3B yesterday, but why not just leave him in place to learn 3B for the rest of Allentown's season?

[schooldoc]

I don' t know what goes on during infield practice at 3:30 pm every day, but to an outsider like me this all seems very haphazard now with these position changes. And I don't know how you can get a definitive read on anything in a sample of just a few games over the last 2 weeks of the season.

I, personally, would find any other outcome other than Hoskins at first, Kingery at second, at Crawford at short to be the incorrect outcome.

Whatever he is, it's one of the most eye catching offensive seasons by a prospect under 19 that I can remember from a Phils DSL prospect.

Better than Sebastian Valle who kind of came out of nowhere too. Valle was 16 though.
