Catcher Ruiz-4th
Ist Base Howard-33 (actually, Mayberry is 19th. Greg Dobbs is 32nd)
2nd-Utley 1

SS-Rollins 3
LF -Brown 44! (of 44)
CF Revere 18

When an attempt was made to avoid trade talk and ask about Cuban free agent outfielder Castillo, Amaro said, "Who?"

You know, the guy photographed sitting in Clearwater dugout yesterday. "What was he doing?" Amaro said. Sitting the the Clearwater dugout.

Deitch says Boston is gonna go hard for Castillo but I still don't see it

My only question is whether the Phillies prefer Yasmany

My nightmare scenario is that we end up taking Carl Crawford.

A caller challenged rube on the fact that Franco and Crawford were the only minor leaguers that have a better than 50/50 chance of making the majors and that the scouting in the org sucks. Ruben responded that the Phils have a ton of prospects and that baseball in general is losing a lot of talent to other sports. :-D

Good for the caller. Seriously.
Though I think the problem is really more development than scouting.

Pos on the Phils' decline

[Howard, Lee, Hamels, Papelbon, Burnett, Ruiz, Utley, Byrd, MAG]... take all nine of these players together and they make almost $50M more than the entire Oakland Athletics roster

I've been posting 2014 Phillies Yearbook titles as Game of Thrones quotes on Twitter throughout the day. I think my two best thus far are:

The 2014 Phillies: If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention

and

The 2014 Phillies: Your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you will know the debt is paid

Somebody responded with:

The 2014 Phillies: I did warn you not to trust me

Had the first two (well, "winter is coming"… which in this context is actually kind of a happy thought). Thought about Valar Morghulis. I like "Stick 'em with the pointy end."
