The Run Down
With an aging roster at the Major League level, the Phillies are a club that could really use some youthful talent.  Trades during the season opened up room for Domonic Brown in the outfield and added a bit of depth to their system, but their infield is ancient and rarely healthy, and their staff, while quite good, is also on the older side.  It’s definitely reasonable to expect that key Phillies will land on the DL in 2012, and it’s unfortunate, then, that their farm isn’t quite awesome.  They have some nice pieces and a little more depth than last year, but overall, this is a bottom-half system and it’s lacking in the high-impact department.

The Run Down

The Phillies graduated quite a bit of talent in 2011.  They also shipped a few nice prospects Houston’s way.  What’s left is not exciting.  Not from a fantasy perspective, at least.  The Phillies have some nice arms in the lower rungs of their system – A-ball pitchers like Trevor May, Jesse Biddle and Jonathan Pettibone.  Biddle will need a few more years of seasoning, but May and Pettibone could be up next year.  There are a few relief arms ready to contribute in the bigs, but the closer situation in Philly is locked up for the time being.  Offensively, the Phillies a pretty well set at the Major League level.  Any reinforcements they needed arrived last year.  Freddy Galvis might catch on in a utility role, but he won’t see regular time unless Jimmy Rollins or Chase Utley gets hurt.  Don’t expect this system to produce a big league regular until Sebastian Valle arrives two years from now.
