i really think that Kyle Drabek is going to be a solid major league pitcher. i cant wait to see him progress and mature.

I'm more interested in Happ and how he will develope, this is the lowest I've seen him on a prospect ranking for the Phillies, and I've seen him as high as number one.

I'm also interested to see how Scott Mathiason fairs when he comes back from Tommy John, if he's better than he was when he came into the league he could be phenominal. Before the surgery he threw 90-95 MPH, just imagine how he'll throw after an operation that usually improves pitchers' arms. A combination of Myers, Hamels, and Mathiason could be amazing.

Unforunantly, aside from a few guys, the Phillies dont have a lot of their good prospects in higher A ball, becasue most of them are now in the Majors, and I dont see guys like Michael Bourn or Josh Roberson as stand out guys, just mediocre hitters who can steal a base here and there. A few years down the line and the Phillies could have the top young pitching prospects in all of baseball, if things pan out correctly.
