You never know. The 2001 team played way over its head. But I wouldn't expect it it take too many shortcuts obvs

Was originally going to the county fair tonight. Instead, my older daughter and I are going to see Jake Thompson pitch against the hometown Squirrels. I'm very excited for this switch!

He said batters can gain experience in the Caribbean against pitchers who throw more breaking pitches. And they learn to play under pressure. The team's main priority is to win, instead of focusing on a player's development. If a player struggles, he can be sent home. Playing under that pressure, Mackanin said, will help you in the majors.
Plus, the fans bring their own brand of intensity.
"Having oranges thrown at you and an occasional bottle when you make an error is a good learning experience," Mackanin said. "As long as you don't get hurt."

LV's season ends tomorrow and he wasn't going to be called up, so not a huge deal really....unless his shoulder is shredded or something

(Brandy) only hinted at Halladay's personal issues during her Hall of Fame speech last July, when she said, "Roy would want everyone to know that people are not perfect. We're all imperfect and flawed in one way or another. We all struggle."

Good for him, I'm glad he's doing something for someone other than us.

Seems like there is always a Phils pitching prospect that can't get/be/stay healthy. Echoes of Jim Wright. Did Kyle Drabek ever get healthy for whomever we traded him to?
Who are out main prospects now? Nola and Jake T, and the other kid who started already from Texas?
Cole Hamels is a relative anomaly in terms of successful prospect that came up and made an impact. Earned a big pay-day.
Most of the Phils all-time bests were acquired in trades (Lefty, Bunning, Schilling, etc...)

I'd say Utley, Howard, and Rollins made an impact.

Off the top of my head the WFC team had Ruiz, Rollins, Utley, Howard, PTB, Hamels, Myers, and Madson all making impacts.

Think PtK is talking just about pitchers, although it's a little hard to tell.

Pretty sure our best move is going to the source's mouth:

Gimp brings up 2 other recent homegrown pitchers who made impacts,but not Hamels-caliber impacts.
My sense is most other teams have what look like shabby track records in sprouting their own top pitchers. My additional sense is that that's almost entirely because pitchers, not because Team XYZ. SF & Mets are the current NL exceptions (maybe STL too?), and my feeling is that will not serve the Mets well much longer
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

With the potential future OFs in our system, I would shift Odubel back to 2B next year. Reports were that he was raw defensively but also voted best defensive 2B in the Texas league prior to his Rule V arrival. Whether it's Williams or Quinn or Altherr in the interim, we can cover CF while getting what I think would be added value by placing Odubel at 2B in front of Hernandez (plus Odubel is 1.5 yrs younger than Hernandez).
