With more than half of the minor-league season already finished, it’s time to take a look at the top ten Phillies prospects at this point in time.
With little talent at the major-league level, the Phillies will have to rely on their minor-league system to fill out the major-league roster in the coming years. Thankfully, they are fairly deep in terms of prospects. While there isn’t any one player that stands out as a future Corey Seager or Andrew Benintendi, they are deep in players that can be above-average major-leaguers.
Filling out a top-ten list was hard for me because the order could be swapped around a lot and there a couple players that could very well slot in. You’re more than welcome to disagree with my list, and you could make a strong argument. Hell, I’d probably believe you. Regardless, here are the Phillies top ten prospects as we stand in the middle of the 2017 season.
