#28 Sullivan:

Sullivan now has a difficult decision. He must decide to either sign with the Phillies and forgo playing for the Blue Hens or attend Delaware, which would require playing three seasons before he's eligible to be drafted again.

The fact that it was the Phillies who drafted him complicates the situation.

"I've got to sit down with my family and talk about it," Sullivan said. "Going into the draft I said I wanted to be in the top 20 to 25 rounds so the Phillies drafted me in the 28th, the hometown team, my favorite team. It does make it a little tougher."

Asked if the Phillies are confident they can sign Sullivan, Almaraz said, "Yes, we believe so. Things are very positive."

Sullivan participated in a 1 1/2 hour workout at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday. After warming up in the bullpen, Sullivan threw 20 pitches in front of the Phillies' scouts and personnel, using his entire repertoire (fastball, curveball and changeup).

The Phillies, the only team he worked out for, told Sullivan they were eyeing him between Rounds 15 through 30.

"I had never been on the Phillies' field before so stepping on there was pretty awesome," Sullivan said. "At first I was a little nervous, but I've pitched so many games in my life I just thought of it as another game. I saw Charlie Manuel there, which was pretty cool so that was a little nerve-wracking."

How does the food come out

In a family size bucket... seriously I was there two weeks ago passing through and craved Long Johns and saw that... should have taken a pic... I went inside and waited like 20 minutes for the crack staff to get me my food with no one else in line

Is there a reason they just don't handle the transaction by hand?

Maybe they are afraid of coming out of the restaurant in fear of getting shot... the 2017 version of Hazleton is like a Grand Theft Auto town

This is fucking amazing. Truly the gem of the draft.

Wow... I didn't know there was a YouTube video!

My vote for best name award: Joe Breaux

lotta college guys

Well...Who's going to rate this draft? I don't have enough knowledge to do it myself but I'd like to see some opinions on this draft.

There's no reason to rate this, or any draft immediately after the fact. You wait 5 or 6 years and see what came out of it.

How so?

Obviously, only time will tell but I thought it was safe, boring and lacking high-upside players. Haseley was a solid pick but I would have preferred Shane Baz or JB Bukauskas. As Squire pointed out, "For people who say Smith was redundant I would argue that we have even more guys who have to play CF to be valuable". Odubel, Altherr, Quinn, Moniak and now Haseley all are most valuable playing CF. That's not a terrible problem to have because we could form a nice defensive outfield.

My biggest issue with the draft is we had the opportunity to take our pick of high-end high school arms at #45. Sam Carlson was a guy I would've been happy with at #8 (under slot) and he went later in the round. Matt Sauer, Hans Crouse, Blayne Enlow and Jacob Heatherly would all have been incredible arms to add to our system. I really liked Mark Vientos (3B) or Nick Allen (white Jimmy Rollins) at #45 too. We'll see how much they get for bonus's but I suspect they all could have been had for slot or just slightly above. I think Spencer Howard is a good prospect with some upside just not at #45.

I really didn't like the Connor Seabold pick. Our system has a ton of "if everything goes right" MLB back-end rotation RHP's. We had already gone safe with the first 2 picks. Let's see what his bonus is because it was nice to get 4th-5th round talent Jake Holmes in the 11th. I'll take a deeper dive into the picks once we see who signs (or doesn't) and for how much. The bottom line with these baseball drafts though is if Haseley becomes an Adam Eaton type player, Spencer Howard becomes a solid 8th inning arm or back-end starter and another guy becomes an above replacement-level MLB player it was a good to great draft.

Zolecki article today indicates that 11th Rounder Jake Holmes expected to sign as early as today.

The draft was late this year and with Williamsport season starting Monday 6/19, I am sure they are signing guys a breakneck pace. We still have 4 guys in the College World Series though (Seabold, Guthrie, Fitch and the FSU 1Bman).

Williamsport is going to be absolutely loaded.

Obviously! This could be said for almost anything written on this board...politics, amateur sports, pro sports and life in general. Again, this is an internet message board that's for fun and entertainment. Stuff happens and people react with their opinions. Some of us fans are more versed on certain topics than others. I enjoy reading the opinions of pacino or JH in the politics thread, Brantt in the PSU thread and you in the Flyers threads.

This is a fan made internet message board. To tell someone you have to wait 5 or 6 years to see the outcome is absurd. People that follow this or any draft can have an immediate opinion and rate it as they please.

I enjoy the discussion, but to say it completely bombed is laughable.

As expected, #37 Julien (the Canadian kid) is still planning to honor his commitment to Auburn

(translated:) "I dreamed of being drafted since I was a child. I just talked with Phillies recruiter Alex Agostino and he told me I have Quebec pride and he wished me good luck at Auburn."

Agreed. I don't think you can love or hate the entire draft, there are so many guys out there to be picked that none of us have seen, I can see living at hating certain picks because you've seen the guys tape and have a legit opinion on how you think he's going to project, but even still chances are the phillies have had someone watch him in person multiple times and talk to his coaches, family, teammates and the player himself.

OTOH, I do think you can agree / disagree with the strategy. I don't really know enough to have an opinion on any of this, but I enjoy reading the discussion on it.

#7 Maton:

Chase_Senior
Hearing that it's likely Nick Maton will sign with Phillies & not go to Mizzou. He's currently in SD watching brother Phil pitch for Padres

#19 Russ:

Wednesday night, Russ has yet to sign his contract since the Phillies were still finishing the draft. He knows part of the plan the Phillies have for him and will figure out the rest Sunday. "I will leave Sunday to play rookie ball in Florida. Now, I am just waiting for specific details and where I am going to be going to."

#20 Schanuel:

Brady Schanuel says he’ll likely follow through with plans to attend the University of Iowa, despite being picked by the Philadelphia Phillies during the Major League Baseball draft Wednesday.

“It’s still a really great experience to see the process and eventually hear my name called. I think I have room for improvement and room to grow. Another year in college, I think, will help me grow for next year and hopefully get my name called a little earlier.”

He called the Phillies’ use of their 20th-round pick “more of a courtesy.”

“We’d been in communication and couldn’t meet on the financial thing. My representative knows more about those details. At this point, I think it was more of a courtesy. It’s what teams do at this point in the draft for players they like.”

#22 Mims:

Mims agreed to terms with the Phillies and will leave Sunday for Philadelphia to sign his contract and undergo a physical. After that, he will head to Florida for rookie camp before learning where he will be assigned for the summer. "I was really content with what they offered."

Hopefully, we finally got the right brother.

Yeah I hate to see stuff like "it bombed" or "this sucks" or "I wanted player x so badly," which is some of the stuff I was seeing here Monday and Tuesday.

What PSU wrote on the last page was a logical recap and earnest evaluation of things and I enjoyed it. Not sure why you didn't just write that on Tuesday, it's a lot more reasonable than some of the hysteria that was being espoused like "I hate this" or "this blows" or "the Phillies, always outsmarting themselves by taking guys not on a list put together by Callis and Mayo or BA" or things to that effect.

Just my meaningless take I guess.
