Phillies Prospects in the Crosshairs | Philadelphia News

The Phillies are all-in on winning now, trading down and promoting prospects like Andrew Painter and Justin Crawford to thin the farm system—but one standout, pitcher Gage Wood, is making waves. A first-round pick, Wood’s already at Double-A and ranked fourth among all right-handed pitching prospects. He’s developing as a reliever with a strong fastball and a new split-finger, and could be a key bullpen piece if the Phillies push for the playoffs. Meanwhile, injuries are hitting hard—Aidan Miller, the top shortstop prospect, is sidelined with a back issue, costing him crucial development time and potentially derailing his path to the top ten. Health is everything for this system’s future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
