Prospect Lists - Phillies and Overall - 2022-2026

It's a lot of turnover in three years. But it may reflect a new group of development people moving on from the previous regime's mistakes (no commitment to players they didn't draft and develop).

I don't think that is a lot of turnover. Remember there are few HS draftees these days and we tend to trade our better International prospects seemingly much quicker than the North American ones (and there are simply more of them given the 2 extra complex teams).

In general if college draftees are on a prospect list 3 years ago they are either in the majors or no longer a prospect 3 years later.

The real lesson is that our drafting beyond the first round and our international signings have been mediocre of late.

It's a lot of turnover in three years.

You can't just assert that. Is it a typical rate of turnover, or something unusual for MLB organizations? Unless you dig into the equivalent data for lots of organizations, over lots of similar time periods, all you have here is the equivalent of an anecdote. It ain't data.

Also - assuming I'm correct that the bold-faced names are supposed to be those still in the organization - there are at least two non-bolded names on that list who are still in the organization.

(Wilson may be becoming a success)

I believe that's Ethan Wilson.

[andyb]

You just made me look up Ethan Wilson's Atlantic League stats to see if he is actually becoming a success. Unfortunately the answer is no.....

I wasn't sure if there was another one but I knew it wasn't Weston.
