For the Phillies' top prospects (per Baseball America), the initial number of games of the respective times have produced divergent results. That is undoubtedly the final "small sample size" analysisa'none of these participants is a entire week in to the season. However the investigation needs to begin somewhere, and these games rely any the others as much in 2013. STOCK UP Jeremy Biddle: The most effective young arm in the business is down quite nicely, with six powerful innings (one earned operate on two strikes) in a conquer the Brand New Hampshire Rock Cats for Double-A Reading. Roman Quinn: Jimmy Rollins' likely heir apparent is striking.333 at Class-A Lakewood with three stolen bases in four games. Adam Morgan: In the turn for Triple-A Lehigh Valley, Morgan took a against the Syracuse Chiefs in his first time of the period, but the numbers (six innings, six strikes, two acquired runs, five strikeouts) were the kind of numbers that win games. Darin Ruf: Good material from Ruf, who is shaking off what had to be a discouraging spring by striking.294 with several doubles in 17 at-bats at Lehigh Valley to date. Carlos Tocci: The 17-year-old phenom is going to be eased in certain at Lakewood, but through two activities he is striking.286. INVESTMENT DOWN Tommy Joseph: The possible replacement Carlos Ruiz (Chooch's deal is up after 2013), Joseph is scuffling at Lehigh Valley with a batting average and no extra-base hits in three activities. Jonathan Pettibone: Still another highly regarded beginning in the device, Pettibone was cuffed around by the Syracuse Chiefs in his preliminary starta'six received runs on eight hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. Ethan Martin: innings was lasted only 4.1 by The young right-handed starter, containing four gained runs on three hits and four walks from the Syracuse Chiefs. Cody Asche: With Michael Young tending third foundation on a one-year offer, the Phillies are hoping Asche can get quickly enough to take control sooner than later. But Asche's.125 average,.188 slugging percentage and.222 on-base percentage through four activities will not do it. Maikel Franco: These are third base, the 20-year-old Franco is off to a start at Class-A Advanced level Clearwater, striking.143 and slugging.214. RAPID READ Ruf remains the most likely call-up of these 10 players. He may very well maybe not ensure it is up before Memorial Day, especially if Delmon Young gets right back from his injury on the expected timetable. And none of the starting pitchers will probably see Philadelphia until the Phillies fall out of the race early and start unloading the likes of Roy Halladay and (sad to say) Cliff Lee for what they could possibly get. However, with the Phillies stumbling out from the entrance (again), an occasional look to the long run this season is going to be worthwhile.
