No idea but I recall it was high on Cozens and Hoskins before the industry caught up.

Did Seabold pitch the super regional gm 3 vs LBSU? Bc I watched that game and that guy threw pus (Even though he got the W)

Please, someone, tell me the last time the Phillies went off the board for a player and it worked out? It hasn't happened in recent memory. We reserve the right to be disappointed in the value even if we haven't seen the player in person. Obviously, the Phillies know more than us. We're just fans and a message board was created for us to have opinions on our team.

This draft sucks so far. It's still early but I'm definitely disappointed after 5 rounds.


Wasn't Cozens considered a massive reach? Not all the way there yet, but thus far he is doing ok.

Rd 8 = Jhordany Mezquita, LHP, No school

Announced as being from Hazleton, PA

Per Keith Law, the Phils tried to sign him out of the Dominican Republic like any other international signing, but it was determined he had to go into the draft instead because he attended Hazleton Area HS, even though he never played for their team

If they wanted a kid from Hazleton, they could have taken Sal Biasi, P, from Penn State... he could help the Sixers too
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

This is really confusing. The Phillies already have a guy by that not particularly common name in extended spring training.

I think this may be an error on mlb.com's part?

add to the mystery....the Phillies.com transaction page shows us signing a guy by the same name and same ht/wt like 2-3 months ago and assigning him to the DSL.
