[bkox]

I think we can confidently say Mick Abel>Paul Skenes

[donaldorc]

I just joined for the last inning. Who was in the booth with Kruk and McCarthy? Was it Mike Schmidt?

[bkox]

yes Schmidt

[owaistabish]

So happy for Abel, especially after all the adversity he went through last couple of years and dropped out of the Phillies BA Top 10 list. He should definitely be top 5 (until he graduates) as most prospects have had slow starts.
