Will Bohm debut today? We will find out soon.

[phillychuck]

Has he been moved to the WMPT roster yet? Or will he get ABs in the GCL?

[andyb]

Odd number of teams in one GCL division? There are 18 total teams but I am guessing wherever GCL West is in has an odd number.

Edit - just checked and Philles East is in a 5-team division (NE). West is in a 4-team division (NW). Though Baseball Reference could be in error of course till we see some real standings. And of course today's game is between divisions, so does this mean East gets to play West at some point?

I know it saves money and the stats and wins are pretty meaningless, but I almost wish they were back in the Appy league with the extra team which would also let them split up the slightly more advanced kids who were in GCL last year with the newer kids.

[andyb]

Will Bohm debut today? We will find out soon

Not today. But we do get a Logan Simmons debut. And playing SS (with Jake Holmes at 3B).

[Squire]

Some mis-labels in that starting lineup.
Pretty sure the LF is Luke Miller and not Justin Miller
Pretty sure the RF is Carlos De La Cruz and not Jonas De La Cruz

[andyb]

They do seem to be balancing the prospects on the East and West rosters. Bohm is on West which is not playing today. So is Luis Garcia who was our big bonus international guy this year.

[andyb]

Victor Santos was a modest ($150K) international signing in 2016, the same class led by Francisco Morales and Brayan Gonzalez. Was a regular DSL starter last year at 17 (2.57 ERA, 5/38 BB/K ratio in 49 IP).

[andyb]

Pretty sure the RF is Carlos De La Cruz and not Jonas De La Cruz

Our unicorn might have delivered a 2-run double in his first at bat.

[Squire]

GCL Phillies East hung a 6 spot on the Yankees in the 2nd

[gmwannabe]

good point squire, i was just looking at that. i was wondering if all of the players weren't cleared yet, that they had to use pitchers for outfielders. great inning though.

Interestingly, the following College players have all been assigned to GCL:

Bohm. Perkins, McArthur, Kroon, Litton, Miller, Cox, White, Conley, Carr, Aklinski, Matera, Ross, and Bowles

That's a boatload of college draftees in the GCL. Some of them should be moving up shortly.

[SerAdonisKingery]

That's really great PC, thank you!

[phillychuck]

The biggest surprise here is Vilchez, a 16-year-old international assigned to the GCL. We don't have a bonus report on him, so either he's a high-bonus kid that didn't get reported, or a 16-year-old who is fluent in English or slipped under the prospect radar. Andyb is usually up on these things, so I guess we should send out the andyb bat-signal...

[andyb]

No idea about him, but if he is in GCL they must think he is ready. Not sure how language has much to do with it since he is there instead of a high bonus guy like Israel Puello. Would not be shocked if he is in that Jefferson Encarnacion category of $100K+ bonus for a later birthday that flew under the radar since it was after the July press releases but also was not a $500K+ signing.

[baseballoldie]

Listi promoted to Reading - https://twitter.com/Threshers/status/1008807423665205248

Listi signed with the Phillies on June 20, 2017 and less than 1 year later is promoted to AA - pretty impressive for a 17th round pick who signed for $5k.

[teabag259]

Haseley with an early base hit. Moniak not playing.

[schooldoc]

Bit of a head-scratcher not to see Moniak in the lineup. He returned from a week's absence, had a 3-hit game, had 3 more days off. You'd think they couldn't wait to get him back out there.

[SerAdonisKingery]

Clearly something more than an illness is going on with him.

[andyb]

Juan Escorcia for Williamsport - 22 year old Colombian cast off by the Yankees in 2016 - is shockingly good in his Phillies debut.

And the best news may be a clean inning by Grant Dyer starting all the way up in Clearwater. That would likely have been his assignment last year if he did not have TJ surgery so this is good news they feel they don't have to move him slowly. Would not be shocked to see him get to Reading this year if his stuff is back to what it was in 2016. Still 22.
