Simon Muziotti, whom the Phillies obtained after MLB voided his contract with the Red Sox, might be a prospect worth following at Clearwater over coming weeks. Someone over at phuturephillies has just noted that the centrefielder is aged just 18! That is, younger even than Cornelius Randolph. Presumably, he is held in high regard by the Phillies.

andyb 2017-06-26 10:40:49 UTC #4

He'll be back at GCL this week. Clearwater just needed an extra body for a couple of games and he got the reward since he was already there. Guzman (age 17) played a bit there earlier as well. He is not an awful prospect. There just isn't anything about the Clearwater appearance other than the team needing a player for a couple of games. They might even be saving that spot for Haseley depending on how he looks in camp this week.

Jeff05 2017-06-26 11:44:50 UTC #6

Thanks, Andy.

DougLindsay 2017-06-26 14:48:44 UTC #7

Leibrandt is starting for LHV tonight.

Squire 2017-06-26 15:49:33 UTC #8

Haseley DH'ing for GCL

Lineup includes Muzziotti, Guzman, Gonzales, Marchan, Pelletier, Markman, zach Green, etc

bigegypt0417 2017-06-26 16:53:21 UTC #9

Sounds like rain is going to wash out the opening game...

andyb 2017-06-26 17:26:31 UTC #10

GCL is rained out today. Here is the roster:

Not too many surprises. Gowdy is still listed here though I still think he is destined to go to Williamsport even if they ease him back in at GCL. It looks like they have moved Keudy Bocio to the outfield as he was an offense-first middle infielder.

The 18 and below contingent on the team is: Simon Muzziotti, Ben Pelletier, Keudy Bocio, Brayan Gonzalez, Jonathan Guzman, Rafael Marchan, Francisco Morales, and Manuel Silva.

And we do have an Anton Kuznetsov sighting. Looks like he is only a high-80s LOOGY but they probably did not want to send him to the culture shock of DSL like they did with the Italian kids.

Love that Clearwater afternoon summer weather.

andyb 2017-06-26 18:56:36 UTC #12

Phoenix is 113 today so while it is not raining, I think I prefer our rookie league to stay in FL.

Squire 2017-06-26 19:05:20 UTC #13

I was thinking about how I would rank our top prospects. I think it's really hard because our top guys have not performed well and our second tier guys have jumped up. I have excluded Pivetta since he is on the big club. I think I would go:

Kingery
Hoskins
Haseley
Moniak
Sixto Sanchez

6-10 (Random Batch): Crawford, N. Williams, Pullin, Kilome, Alfaro

11-15 (Random Batch): Cozens, Stobbe, Gowdy, Romero, Serantthony Dominguez

16-20 (Random Batch): Quinn, Tocci, Ortiz, Medina, Valentin

21-25 (Random Batch): Irvin, Randolph, Hall, Brito, Anderson

26-30 (Random Batch): F. Morales, Elniery Garcia, Howard, Stephen, A. Davis

nycphils 2017-06-26 20:17:04 UTC #14

So you think (I do) Crawford's issues are talent related and not just his age/level that will likely turnaround with time?

nycphils 2017-06-26 20:17:44 UTC #15

I'd put Sixto as #2 FWIW

tom81 2017-06-26 22:22:51 UTC #16

I'd put Sixto as #3. Hoskins has hit constantly at every level and has improved at every level. Sixto has more upside but too big a variance for me to rank him above Hoskins.

andyb 2017-06-26 23:22:29 UTC #17

I just can't rank Hoskins top 3. He is old for his level and the offense should be discounted somewhat because of his position (1B). In terms of position players I would still have Crawford, Moniak and Haseley ahead of him and probably Kingery (where the comparison is closer). Those position players plus Hoskins, Alfaro and Sanchez are the top 7 now for me.

gmwannabe 2017-06-27 00:35:42 UTC #18

Ranger through 6!!

phillychuck 2017-06-27 01:56:25 UTC #19

Lost it after 7 2/3. Great outing.

Lots of HRs for us tonight by the guys you want hitting them.

Hall, Stobbe, Walding, Cozens.

Austinfan 2017-06-27 02:18:08 UTC #20

At some point we're going to have to consider Hall a top 30 prospect, since his slow April start (due to injury) he's been pounding, and in a pitcher's park. He's 21 so he's not overaged for A ball.

Lehigh drew 10 walks tonight, including 2 by Alfaro, maybe they're getting through to these guys that you can't hit your way to CBP.

All Hoskins does is hit, at every level, home and away, at some point you have to start thinking he has a real shot at being a .850-.900 OPS ML 1B, which would make him a pretty good player, something in the 3-4 WAR range. And the upside to be even better, he seems to adjust quickly at every level.

Brito seems to be out of his funk, and Gamboa has really come on this season, that's a nice pair to grow together the next three years.

Squire 2017-06-27 05:15:15 UTC #21

I agree on Hall. Had him in the 21-25 batch

Squire 2017-06-27 09:57:55 UTC #22

60 percent of the minor league season done. Phillies minor league homer leaders:

Scott Kingery 18
Rhys Hoskins 17
Dylan Cozens 17
Mitch Walding 17
Nick Williams 15
Andrew Pullin 15
Darick Hall 13
Kyle Martin 13

Can't remember a time when we had that much SLG in the system
