Being a closer hurts from a prospecting perspective. I have like 30 elite auto's i'd like to some day sell for half of what i paid...

I thought for sure we'd see Greene and/or Quinn. J-Rod also got shafted, IMO.

they will be there by mid-season.

J-rod gets the shaft due to his fastball but i see him as a back of the rotation ML starter. Such an advanced pitcher for that age with a less than plus fastball...

He had a great season last year... as a reliever. He'll likely never start. THankfully, I only bought two or three cards of Frenchy........

Nice to see Biddle and Sebby at 2 and 3.

I had the opportunity to see a lot of these guys play and this list is solid. There are a lot of underrated guys in the Phils system. Look out for Julio Rodriguez, Austin Wright and Perci Garner.

The Phillies' list is now up on the site, for those subscribers who want to read the scouting reports.

Interesting comps. BA compares May to Chris Carpenter, and Biddle to Andy Pettitte.

Those are some nice comparisons!

Tom (NJ): I'm sure you're getting lots of questions on Julio Rodriguez, so I'll just add one more! I keep hearing about his stuff and I read different reports. Do you have actual reports on his pitches and their speeds?

Matt Forman: You're right, Tom, definitely getting a lot of questions about Rodriguez. The reason you've heard differing reports on Rodriguez's stuff and velocity is because he was consistently inconsistent -- some starts (or innings within each start) his fastball would be 90-93 mph, others it would be 85-88 mph. He did a better job this year of pitching with an average fastball, mostly sitting in the 87-91 range. If you like watching the radar gun light up, Rodriguez isn't your kind of pitcher. But it's hard to argue with Rodriguez's results: He won 16 games, struck out more than a batter an inning and held opposing hitters to a .186 average. His stats stand out more than his stuff, though. None of his secondary pitches grade out better than average. He has a herky-jerky delivery that creates deception, and he routinely pitches up in the zone with his fastball, which could be problematic as he advances. Lower-level hitters have had a hard time picking him up, and there's certainly something to be said for that. Everyone I talked to said the same thing: Send him to the next level until he proves it's too much, because he has been very effective thus far.
