2. Olmedo Uribe - Excellent control, one excellent and one good pitch, splits are good, no health concerns, but durability is a concern. He should be a solid # 2/3 starter, but better pitchers were available. Grade: B+
3. Derek Gosling - Plus power and speed. Good splits and eye, but his contact rating is low. Defense isn't good enough to play SS, but he should be a good 3B. The second best position player in the draft, so a solid pick. Grade: A
4. Shep Rowen - Rowen projects as the best pitcher in the draft. Excellent control, one excellent and one good pitch, good splits, and no health concerns. Projects as a solid top of the rotation starter. Grade: A+
5. Jean McConnell - One excellent, but only one pitch that is at least above average. Everything looks good. Definitely not the second best pitcher in the draft. Should be a solid #3/4 starter. Grade: B
6. Rob Rose - ??
7. Marco Pickering - Really poor contact rating. Power is above average and plus plus speed, but that contact rating. Range is a little low for 3B. Grade: B
8. Philip Wall - I have him as the third best pitcher in the draft. Durability is a concern, but no other concerns. Projects to be a solid #2/3. Grade: A
9. Brady Foltynewicz - A little better than Wall who was drafted right before him. Similar to Wall without the durability concern. Projects to be a solid #2/3. Grade: A+
10. Tanyon Griffin - Probably won't sign, but a nice pick at 10 if he does. Grade: A (if he signs)
11. Albert Howell - Excellent speed and range Contact rating is well below average and no power. Grade: B+ (if he signs)
12. Gregg Leach - ??
13. Alcides Bonilla - Plus plus speed, but mediocre eye and contact ratings. Doesn't have the range to play CF. Grade: B
14. Al Saipe - Excellent pick at 14. Plus plus power. He doesnt have the range to play 2B, so I expect him to move to LF. Grade: A+
15. Carlos Nunez - Excellent speed and range, but everything else about him is relatively average. Still better than a few position players selected before him. Grade: A
16. Ted May - ??
17. Edwar Berrios - Splits are too low to be anything more than a long reliever/mop up. Grade: F
18. Omar Iglesias - Poor eye and RH split, plus speed, and average power. Projects to 3B. Grade: B-
19. Tony Prince - Excellent speed, and above average power. Defensively he doesn't have the range or glove to play 2B. Overall not a bad pick at 19. Grade: B+
20. Josmil Aviles - Just if that RH split was better. Everything else looks great Projects to a 5/long reliever. Grade: C
21. Pat Witt - Good power and speed, but splits and eye are below average. At 21 its not a bad pick. Grade: B
22. Stump Webster - He does have excellent splits, and contact ratings though. Power is above average, but mediocre for a DH. Not sure why a team in the NL would draft a DH though. Grade: C
23. Jarrod Ducey - Excellent defense. Really poor LH split, but all other hitting ratings are at least average to above average This is a very solid pick at 23. Grade: A (if he signs)
24. David Nanita - Virtually everything about him is average. Projects to be a long reliever/mop up. Grade: D (if he signs)
25. Jandel Nunnally - Excellent control, and two excellent pitches. Splits are only average though. Projects to be a back of the rotation starter, but still a decent pick. Grade: B (if he signs)
26. Al Ellis - Excellent pick. Much better than many of the players before him. Excellent splits, one excellent and one good pitch, but average control. Durability is a little low. Projects to be a #4/5. Grade: A
27. Myron Person - Another solid pick. The splits are only average, control is good, and one excellent and two good pitches. Projects to be a back of the rotation starter. Grade: B+
28. Eric Greenwood - Another solid pick by the Phillies. He doesn't have the pitches to be anything more than a back of the rotation starter. Control is excellent, and splits are good. Grade: B+
29. Randy Waddell - Excellent control and two excellent pitches. Wish that RH split was a little better. Still a solid pick. Grade: B+
30. Stefan Borchard - Control issues, and mediocre LH split. He does have at least three above average pitches. Projects to be a long reliever. Grade: B
31. Dan Foster - Did Dilo forget to rank the prospects because he sucks. Grade: F
32. Jack Rothschild - Actually a decent pick at 32. Power is mediocre for a LF though. He does have plus speed. Grade: B
33. Anthony Chouinard - 3 power. How does anyone have 3 power? Grade: D
