I see Rhys Hoskins & Dylan Cozens doing some serious damage down the road..........and playing in the Phillies farm system at the same time.

The only one I'm iffy on is Aaron Brown, but it's partly b/c I don't know what they see him as. And it's hard to argue with a guy that the pundits are calling one of the best two-way players in the draft.

Rhys' Pieces and Cozens' Dozens, whether running the CBP outfield or Nevada bunny ranch

yeah, agree, but i'd bet they like him more as a pitcher than hitter

Have they said how they plan to use him yet?

bp prospect guy

In a slim system, willing to bet #phillies have drafted at least 3 top 10 prospects for their system. Nice draft so far.

Obviously, need pro ball experience first but like what #phillies have done so far.

Me too. Like the college junior approach. Seems like 2,3 and 4 all have projection left too.

Nola turned 21 on Wednesday. Imhof and Oliver are 20. Brown and Hoskins are 21, though Brown will be 22 later this month.

Yeah, I think this was a draft to inject certainty into the system, and they're doing that. Now is not the time for lottery tickets, at least not on the first two days.

I think we just disagree on this strategy, which is fine as I certainly don't profess to be an expert on this. But the Phillies have a high payroll so they can afford to pay people to fill out of the margins. Money does not typically acquire stars though so I would much rather them roll the dice in the draft.

Williamsport will be a ton of fun. Even if Nola goes to Lakewood/Clearwater, we added 2/5ths of the rotation, the 1B and the LF today.

Rd 6 = Brandon Leibrandt, LHP, Florida State
@Brandon_Leib37
bio

Image

Leibrandt has been hit by the injury bug in the last year. He suffered a broken right ankle during fall ball and then missed the final two months of the spring season due to a severe bone bruise on his left shin. When healthy, Leibrandt throws his fastball in the upper-80s and has the ability to add or subtract velocity as needed. His changeup can be a plus pitch and he isn’t afraid to throw it in any count. His curveball can get slurvy, but still gives him a solid third pitch. Leibrandt has a good feel for pitching, a trait he inherited from his father, former Major Leaguer Charlie Leibrandt. He profiles as a back of the rotation starter.

Looks like one of those drafts where we sign two high school players.

Yup. Rube told Marti to stop drafting all those stupid HS kids. Rube was a college pick and he turned out great!

Assuming we pick 2.

Leibrandt was the first pick that I really hated though

3 southeastern kids and 3 California kids. Guess they've scrapped the Nebraska/northwest gameplan

Nope, I'm embarrassed that my posts are taking up your valuable time so I'm out of here.
