7-25: - http://www.fanhouse.com/ : - Fanhouse Top 70 Prospects - 11. Phil Evans, SS, LaCosta Canyon HS (Calif.) 7-25 from: - http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2010/7/24/1585669/all-questions-answered#comments - I like Evans more than I do Cron, and I think he has a legitimate shot to stick at shortstop in the long run, though he’s a fringe-average runner, if not below-average. He has great footwork and an above-average arm, and his bat is definitely first round caliber. Solid-average power potential and a good swing for average, too. Very good player for his age, though there’s the concern that his lack of speed will hamper his range in the long run.
8-13-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=122 - There were four hits for the Brewers and two by middle infielder Phillip Evans (5'10" 180, R/R) from La Costa Canyon HS-Carlsbad (CA). Evans plays with some flash that I don't care for but underneath is all he is a really solid and talented baseball player, with good skill, ability, and feel for the game. He hits to all fields, hits all pitches, and is a good baserunner. In the infield you will not find too many fielders with softer hands than he has. I can see him being a favorite of the scouts come draft day for his potential as an offensive second baseman, maybe along the lines of a Placido Polanco type.
8-17-10 from: - http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2010/08/17/which-2011-mlb-draft-prospects-impressed-as-aflac-all-americans - Phil Evans, SS: Evans is a complete baseball player with instincts beyond his years, and it would be easy to paint him just with that brush. However, his raw tools shouldn't be discounted. The right-handed hitting shortstop continues to be one of my favorite players in the class because he hits with authority in game action against elite pitching. He also showed off plus raw power in batting practice and one of the most consistent line-drive swings at the event. At shortstop, he flashed his quick release and good first step. The profile here is very well-rounded, and Evans plays more like an advanced college middle infielder than a prep player.
8-31-10 from: - http://www.prospectwire.com/pw/article.php?id=142 - Phillip Evans - MIF, 5'9" 181, R/R, La Costa Canyon HS (CA) - Evans is a classic "ballplayer" but he also has tools. Some will scoff at his size but he plays much bigger than he is. Evans honestly can do it all on the field and he does it with flair, which generally keeps your eyes on him. He is an all-field spray/contact hitter with gap power. Defensively he has a plus arm and exceptionally soft hands, to go with good instincts. He does occasionally come up too early on ground balls and there are times his flashy style can get the best of him.
