We always like to dream about the ones that got away, the draft picks unsigned, the draft picks untaken. Here lets look at the guys the Phillies took, but couldn’t make a deal for some reason.
Those That Got Away:
Brandon Workman (2007 – 3rd round – 107 overall): Workman was an up and down guy out of high school, he would show a fastball up to 95, but his mechanics scared scouts. The Phillies offered him $275,000, Workman wanted $350,000. Three years later, Workman was a second round pick of the Boston Red Sox and has racked up 104.1 IP in the past two years in the majors as a starter and reliever, his likely home is the back of the bullpen.
