  1. Pick 4 is worse than pick 3. Is this to be a two prospect draft? How big a bonus are we giving Randolph? It’s not as though he was rated higher than we picked him.

    • I’m biased as a USC fan, but I see Kyle Martin as being Darin Ruf but with a bit more athleticism and a bit less swing and miss, so I’m all aboard on this pick.

  2. i’m lukewarm so far for the R3 and R4 picks. I think there are better players available. My hope are that both Williams and Martin are: a) above average hitters and b) sign under slot so that we can draft players with higher upside like Everett and Hooper @ R5 or R6

    • And now in round 6. The round 6 seems okay though. 6-10 is a good place to draft signable college pitchers with a chance to be MLB relievers. We should strive to produce one new MLB reliever each season.

  3. I just wanted to say it’s been a pleasure following your draft tracking here, Matt. You’ve done a really good job of quickly compiling a lot of info on each player as they’re picked.

  4. Matt, great job of putting information for each draft pick the Phillies made. I liked the Phillies approach with the draft in the early rounds with accomplished hitters and some speed with good batting approach and contact ability. This has been an interesting draft and look forward to your objective comments and views of the draft.

  5. I feel cheated of the 12-15 round HS flier picks. I guess we’re out of $ and really like the Juco guy at #11.

  6. Phils are drafting a lot of older college players (JR and SR) — are they planning to sign all of them (rds 11 to 20)?? Signing the Top 10 is a must given the lack of HS prospects drafted after Rd 10. we already reached the point wherein 90% of the draftees (after Rd 20) will not sign with the team who drafted them.

  7. Okay, we’ve gotten a few interesting HS flier types. A little late in the draft for that, but better late than never.
