2012 Philadelphia Phillies Top 15 Prospects
The Phillies system is nowhere near as strong as it has been in recent years but that comes about because they have used their system to improve the big league club in the midst of a robust championship window. The trades to acquire Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Hunter Pence have sucked much of the upper level talent from the system. Combine that with their recent propensity for losing first round picks through free agent signings and the Phillies are left with a system long on athletes and projection at the lower levels and short on big league ready help outside of a couple relievers

1. Sebastian Valle (C)Not necessarily the consensus pick for number one in this system but I’m a sucker for solid defensive catchers with offensive potential, and Valle is just that. He is a tough kid with good catch and throw skills and the athleticism to move well on balls in the dirt. He is an aggressive hitter with good plate coverage and easy plus bat speed. Some scouts believe he can hit .250 in the big leagues with 25 home runs and good defense which puts him on the cusp of being an All-Star level backstop
