Reading Eagle Top 30

One-month prospect review (Rated R, not for the faint of heart)

It will be interesting to see what the national pundits say. I am particularly interested see the extent of Crawford's likely comeback in the rankings (back to top 50 or even top 20?) and see just how far Moniak will drop (out of the top 100 altogether?).

Baseball America league prospect lists start today. Starting at the top rather than the bottom with the PCL first:

Baseball Prospectus 2018 breakout candidates.

Two Phillies on the list (Morales and Dominguez) and both made the public part of the list:

And we are even discussing dealing Kingery? Foolish in my mind.

It's foolish not to explore every option. Just because you explore it doesn't mean you do anything.

Crawford, Kingery, and Hoskins are on the BA IL top 20. Just not sure where since it is behind the paywall.

allentown 2017-09-19 15:04:53 UTC #8

#3 Hoskins, #8 Kingery, #10 Crawford.

Braves do even better with #1, #6, #11, #18. Arguably Yankees do almost as well..

A lot of teams in the league, but Braves, Yankees, Phillies, Rays really dominate list.

BA clearly likes Crawford much more now....

If the Phillies had left Pivetta in AAA, he'd been in the top 5 in the Int'l league. He was blowing everyone away when he was called up.

This is the weak spot of ratings, if you graduate a lot of players quickly, it makes your farm system look worse.

Phillies have promoted a lot of players the last two years:

2017: Crawford, Alfaro, Hoskins, Williams, Pivetta, Lively, Knapp, Leiter, Milner
2016: Thompson, Velaquez, Eflin, Ramos, Joseph

andyb 2017-09-19 16:06:33 UTC #11

Every organization graduates prospects. Pivetta might have been near the back end of the top 20 if he had not been promoted, but he would not have been close to the top. There are some really good prospects in the league this year. Alfaro is actually the guy who might have made the league list that did not. Williams too though not sure if he is eligible.

Someone is going to clarify whether Crawford is 3 and Hoskins 10 or the other way around, right?

Philsmania 2017-09-19 16:27:38 UTC #13

Does Hoskins still count as a prospect since he technically "graduated" to the Majors? In fact, last night he used up his rookie eligibility by surpassing 130 AB's.

allentown 2017-09-19 16:30:16 UTC #14

My bad! Hoskins is #3.

Scott Kingery was the Minor League 2B Gold Glove winner

California_Dreamin 2017-09-20 15:06:58 UTC #16

Trade him! Just kidding!

BTW Kingery I think was the only entry on the Eastern League list. No surprise there. The FSL list is where there are some guys that could easily make or miss the list (Kilome, Dominguez, Randolph). Sixto will probably only be on the SAL list.

Squire 2017-09-28 15:20:13 UTC #18

Four Phillies on the BA FSL League Top 20 List. I have to renew my subscription so I can't tell their rankings but: Cornelius Randolph, JoJo Romero, Franklyn Kilome and Seranthony Dominguez all in the Top 20

allentown 2017-09-28 18:04:16 UTC #19

Randolph at #12, Dominguez at #13, Romero at #15, Kilome at #17. I think that's very generous to Randolph. Blue Jays take the top 2 spots, Senzel at #4.

andyb 2017-09-28 19:38:41 UTC #20

We should look good on the SAL list. Sixto is probably near the top of that. I imagine they still will rank Moniak. Medina has to be on it too. Romero is likely a repeat and maybe a Fanti or Suarez or Hall will sneak onto the end of the list.
