Lefties Gonzalez and Haigwood, acquired from the White Sox in the Thome trade, immediately move up the list quickly. Then you have a large mass of B-/C+ types, guys with something interesting going for them, but also questions. Can Jaramillo hit at higher levels? Will Golson develop some plate discipline to go with his tools? Mathieson has a good arm and good K/BB numbers but can't get his ERA under 4.00. Roberson and Victorino are interesting but somewhat old for prospects.
One thing to watch for: the Phillies have made a big push in Australia lately, and guys like Brad Harman and Tim Kennelly could make that investment look very wise this year.
