Been a while since I looked but Deivi Grullon is doing well enough offensively to stay on the radar as a catcher of the future...He's already a ML catcher defensively and if he can come close to these numbers in the majors you have something...

BA's top 100 list was not as kind...lol

BA Mid-Season Top 100 Prospects - Phillies Entries

45 Mickey Moniak, OF, Lakewood
46 Sixto Sanchez, RHP, Lakewood
51 Scott Kingery, 2B, Lehigh Valley
68 Rhys Hoskins, 1B, Lehigh Valley
80 Jorge Alfaro, C, Lehigh Valley
91 J.P. Crawford, SS, Lehigh Valley
97 Adam Haseley, OF, Williamsport

This list is realistic and fair, IMHO.

BA favors tools over performance and has their "favorites", though Moniak was one of them so we see how quickly things can change.

My main takeaway: 7 in the top 100 is a great thing and portends a brighter future for the big league lineup, though future success is certainly much farther away than was hoped before the season, mostly on account of the big league club's lack of hitters who project as regulars on a playoff team. Herrera's and Franco's seasons point toward the Phils having to find two more hitters than we thought we needed to find.

andyb 2017-07-07 14:25:07 UTC #6

Definitely a good showing though one could also argue that Crawford and Alfaro really should have graduated by now. I am hopeful though that all 4 of the LHV prospects will be in the starting lineup next year (by June anyway) if not by September of this year.

California_Dreamin 2017-07-07 16:04:44 UTC #7

Only the Braves, with 9, have more prospects in the Top 100 than do the Phils. The Yankees, who I still believe are great potential trade partners with the Phils, also have 7. I think the Braves have done a phenomenal job of rebuilding and if there is one team that serves as an indictment to how the Phils are rebuilding, it would be the Braves.

They have been much more aggressive than have the Phils, without nearly the financial resources, new stadium or not.

8th rounder Jhordany Mezquita on the bump for GCL Phils making his pro debut today.

bigegypt0417 2017-07-07 16:56:50 UTC #9

Went 2 innings. No run and no hits...2 walks and 3 k's.

andyb 2017-07-07 17:13:13 UTC #10

First pro HR for Ben Pelletier!

Would love some first hand reports on him. How big is he these days? How much speed does he have?

Philsmania 2017-07-07 17:45:02 UTC #11

You can make an argument that the Braves who committed to rebuilding just like we did after 2014 had a head start over us by having considerably more valuable ML assets to cash in for young talent or draft picks. Guys like Heyward (who brought in Miller who, in turn, brought in the Braves shortstop and centerfielder of the future), Simmons, J.Upton, Kimbrel and Santana (who became a draft pick when he left as a free agent). By contrast, we had veterans who were on the downside and/or tied to crippling long-term contracts.

bigegypt0417 2017-07-08 00:08:07 UTC #12

homerun for jhailyn Ortiz.

bigegypt0417 2017-07-08 00:29:43 UTC #13

kyle young is dominating tonight...11 k's in 5 innings and 7 in a row.

1 hit and no walks

bigegypt0417 2017-07-08 01:32:09 UTC #14

Hasely with 3 hits and a homer
2 hits for ortiz
josh stephen with 2 doubles

Squire 2017-07-08 01:46:52 UTC #15

Williamsport is a really talented squad. Probably the second most talented team in the system after LHV. I think Haseley is going to jump ahead of those guys but they'll be a strong team even without him

schooldoc 2017-07-08 01:49:17 UTC #16

Bullpens in Reading, Clearwater, and Lakewood all got tattooed tonight. I suppose if those clubs are gonna lose, that's not the worst way to lose from a prospect standpoint. No offense to them, but the John Richy's and Matt Hockenberry's and the Tyler Hallead's are pretty fungible in the organization's grand scheme of things.

Lot of debut's tonight in Williamsport out of the pen...

bigegypt0417 2017-07-08 01:52:17 UTC #17

All 3 hits for haseley were to the opposite field....

bigegypt0417 2017-07-08 01:57:17 UTC #18

Rupert posted Jhailyn Ortiz

andyb 2017-07-08 01:57:25 UTC #19

Starting to see a $4 million hitter in Ortiz. Much better control of the strike zone this year and to see this much power in an 18-year-old is uncommon. Haseley looks ready to move up shortly (and really Matos deserves a chance to play as he is also a prospect.)

teabag259 2017-07-08 02:33:49 UTC #20

Cozes with 2 bombs tonight.

When the inevitable promotion of Haseley occurs does he go to Lakewood or Clearwater?
