    When Baseball America ranked the top 20 players in each minor league, no team in MLB had more of its players appear on those lists than the Phillies.

    good to see that they had players represented at each position other than left handed pitchers as well.

    can't wait to see what they do with Ng. Does this organization have the guts to make such a bold move? She is clearly more than well qualified for the position. It's probably time she got a chance with someone to be a gm.

    Beyond that - and this'll give Rob something to brag about - also that well crafted Pence trade is finalized with Tommy Joseph being booted from the 40 man.

    And even more credit to Rube, Kelly Dugan, who I believe was the Phils 1st pick in '09, also gets outrighted.

    Just a strong outing overall in the decision to pick Amaro over Arbuckle...

    More than any other sport, baseball prospects will break your heart. Feel like phillies fans never fell in love with brown as much as they should have

    we also gave Wheeler to the Mets for that worthless Beltran :angry:

    Klentak, Kantrovitz, and Bloom are finalists for gm.

    All could not be more opposite of Amaro....

    http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/10/lenny-dykstra-says-he-hired-a-private-investigator-to-blackmail-mlb-umpires

    “I said ‘I need these umpires,’ so what do I do? I just pulled a half-million bucks out and hired a private investigation team. Their blood is just as red as ours. Some of them like women, some of them like men, some of them gamble. Some of them do whatever … It wasn’t a coincidence do you think that I led the league in walks the next two years, was it? Fear does a lot to a man.

    ‘Hey, so did you cover last night?’ He called a strike. ‘Oh I don’t think you heard me. Did you cover the spread last night?'”

    Curt Schilling on ESPN said it's 100% true that he witnessed Lenny doing some of the things mentioned. Lenny is certifiable as a nut job.

    PTI brought up some good points though. How did Dykstra get through to the umps without the opposing catcher/team not noticing or hearing anything?

    I mean, I am not saying it didn't happen, but I am not sure that Schilling and Dykstra are the two more reliable sources.
