2024 Prospects thread

So a HS draft pick that will be well over 22 yo before he throws his first ever competitive pitch after HS.

He is they guy the kept the trade from being a complete salary dump.

RHP Cole Phillips (Mariners’ No. 14 prospect): Acquired in December’s trade that sent Jarred Kelenic to Atlanta, Phillips should be fully healed from the right elbow Tommy John surgery he underwent just before the Braves selected him in the second round of the 2022 MLB Draft.

Part of what may have led to his injury is also what made him so enticing, which is the fastball’s elite velocity that flirts with triple digits. Phillips has drawn comparisons to Nathan Eovaldi, who also was high on Draft boards in 2008 as a Texas high schooler before suffering an elbow injury.

The focus for Phillips in 2024 will be to create a sound professional routine to allow his body to control everything that his elite arm can produce.

I didn't pay attention that we got another player back, at least that's something. Lots of big arms in the bullpen these days (assuming he's a BP guy..).

He looks like another guy that was a 1st round talent but the injury bug a boo stepped-in. Sam Carlson comes to mind.

Watch DeLoach have a better season than any of our corner OFers...

And Santos gets hurt while Berroa comes out looking like Edwin Diaz...

I wouldn't be surprised if Santos goes down for TJ, and I'm sure Jerry and Justin were extremely aware of that possibility.

They say he will be ready for OD which almost guarantees he won't be...
