Double fisting the future. You sir, are a scholar and a gentlemen.

Hi Kevin, I think the Phillies system could be pretty impressive next year. They have a lot of guys that, when you look at, say that he is an interesting guy to follow. Most of that talent is at the lower levels, but in a year or two, it could be pretty impressive. Specifically, Larry Greene, Mitch Walding, Carlos Tocci, Adam Morgan, Roman Quinn, Dylan Cozens, Zach Green and Maikel Franco, to name a few. Who do you think has the highest ceiling of this group? Thank you.

Greene's actually shown some the ability to draw a walk. So that's good, I guess.

So truly one of the elite pitchers in the league, but only borderline draftable in a shallow league? What's your definition of a shallow league? 4 teams? All these guys are draftable in 12 team leagues.

That video was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. The Ahman Green shout out had me literally in tears, such a great surprise at the end of a great video. Anyway, all the explanations make sense, glad it was clarified.

I think people forget Dom Brown broke his hamate bone earlier this year. The power will be back next year.

Hey Jason, any thoughts on Justin De Fratus of the Phillies? Love their Pharm!

Matt Harvey but no Cosart? Cosarts scouting report sounds a lot like Millers, no? Obviously, if the injury caveat bumped him I understand.

Charlie manuel did the same thing in the ninth against the cards keeping baez in a tie game over Madson.

The scene where Ron throws away the turkey bacon last week was beyond hysterical. Great, great show.

BAhhhh misses the .330 disclaimer. My ba

Rollins went quad double in 07.

Just want to personally thank Colin, Ken, and Rob for emailing me and helping me figure out my pecota spreadsheet issue. Bp is the hands down best site ever.

This sucks, I've been a customer for two years and now I can't see the main thing I look forward to!

I have a premium subscription yet every time I try to download the Pecota spreadsheet it asks me for a username and password, even though I'm logged in. I put my said username and password in and it does not work. Can someone help me??

Ian kinsler and Adam lind. Those are my two bugaboos.

Damn the new order!! Phillies phans had to wait forever last year and now we're last again (hopefully).

KG, have you heard anything on how Rodriguez's upside compares to the other top guys in the system Cosart, Colvin and May? Thanks, the minor league updates will be sorely missed.

Would you start Scherzer or Liriano in their matchup this week?

KG, Phils picked up Mike McGuire from independents a bit ago and reports have him at 95-96 showing good command thus far with great results all around. I know he's super old for the SAL league but at his size and velocity, does he have a shot as a middle reliever?

Has the Jiwan James breakout begun 9 for his last 12 with a 22 game hit streak?

accidently clicked inappropriate, my bad.

I believe the Phillies are a huge proponent of long toss and have their minor leaguers do it.

Does this article confirm that Ruben Amaro is some sort of secret genious? Hhahahah, sometimes I say the craziest things.

I don't think it would surprise anyone to see these two teams again next year.

KG, Anthony Gose is having a season pretty much equal to Beckham with a little less power and more speed. Agree?

Cups are very uncomfortable, how many players actually wear them? I played college football and never wore one, no one did.

Schwimer documented the money thing at PP. He said for what he makes it comes out to about 2.00 an hour. Pretty nuts.

For those interested, at phuturephillies.com there is a weekly piece by reliever Mike Schwimer. The guy is a great writer and gives amazing insight into the daily minor league life. He said when Pedro came down he asked him what it was like to face the minor league Mets and would it be wierd. Pedro's reply "It is not wierd, it is destiny my friend".

KG, Is Mike Taylor a monster or what? .957 OPS, 12 Homeruns, 10 steals, 6 foot 6, laser rocket arm. How do you think he would do in the bigs now?

Ryan Howard's moon shots past the batter's eye in center field against the Marlins (twice) and his triple deck shots to right, one was against Mussina, the other this year.

How bout some love for Mike Taylor? Starting to mash in AA, along with improved plate discipline. Potential top 25 prospect?

Doesn\'t this also mean that we should believe Jose Canseco just a tiny bit more? The guy was spot on with A-Rod, and I know a majority of the public scoffed at him when he said A-Rod got away scot free with the Mitchell Report.

Great stuff man.

Tastytakes in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas. Can\'t beat a chocolate eclair pie.
