So just need to refine that down to the 3 best lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjapirate Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Looking at MLB.com now top 30 (which is pretty crap but oh well) How can you have Sixto 2 and Moniak one? They play on the same team in the same league and Sixto is clearly the better player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjapirate Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Yeah hopefully Sixto works out. The phillies lack of impact prospects over the years has been really sad. Sixto maybe the only one we have currently as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixto maybe the only one we have currently as well. I think there are some other young guys who can be impact guys. Namely Ortiz and JoJo Romero. Of course, they're too far away (as is Sixto) to really project anything right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when he was drafted his ceiling was a back end starter. has it really improved from that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjapirate Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I just found a snippet from Eric Longenhagen back in may saying even though one of his off speed offerings has greatly improved he is still considered a back end guy but much more likely to reach it. Eric is a phillies fan so i would trust him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjapirate Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 But hey that's no knock on JoJo we have no good left handers, so even our 4th starter being one is better than not having one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen Romero pitch much (seems like every time he's on MiLB.tv I miss it) so anything I say about him is really limited info.
