Prospect Profile 16-20

Edubray Ramos-this is the one pick I may end up kicking myself for as in relievers should not rank this high unless they possess real closer type stuff.  I'm not sure Ramos does but man does he have a real tight slider that seems to give both right and left handers fits.

Luis Encarnacion-If controversy is your thing you have got to love him here.  Signed in 2013 out of the DR for $1 Million USD Sal put it on the line.  Typically the brass for the Phillies at that time had some kind of phobia about the seven figure latin market.  In Luis however they decided to role the dice.  Many say he is a 1B I see a little more athleticism than that.  I see enough to project him in a corner OF spot.  He will begin this season as an 18 y/o most likely in WPT.  He showed some signs of life in the GCL this past season where he hit .271.

Floor-Never makes it out of A ball
Ceiling-He could look like another famous Encarnacion

Scott Kingery-Speed and quickness best describe this 2015 2nd Round pick out of the University of AZ where he had to walk on.  Primarily a 2B Scott profiles well as a big league player.  He is a classic hustler and the fans are going to love him.  If he adjusts to wood bat he will make it to the MLB in some form or fashion by 2017.  I believe the Phillies want him to be their 2B of the future as was Chase when they took him out of UCLA some 15 years ago.

Floor-Mark DeRosa Type

Carlos Tocci-Maybe the most polarizing position player prospect we've had in the system in sometime.  You'll see his name in many other lists in the top 5 and of course here at 19.  Carlos was signed as a 16 y/o and given $700K.  The knock on him has always been his build or the question of whether or not he will be strong enough to drive balls into the gaps let alone over the wall.  An exceptionally talented CF he gets to just about everything hit out there.  As a 19 y/o im the Sally league he put up a slash of 321/387/810 not to shabby.  He got a call up to CLW where he started off well but faded towards the latter part of the season.  Again a product I believe of wearing down.  He needs to put on weight somehow and he will be just fine.  Good chance he begins the season in CLW and if all goes well we see him in Reading by the end of 2016.

Floor-a 4th OF
Ceiling-Joe DiMaggio (LOL to hear others tell it)

Victor Arano-Return from the Roberto Hernandez trade.  Let's just say that is quite the return for a player of Roberto at that time in his career.  Arano is just 21.  He has enough FB and enough command of it to keep hitters at bay once through a line-up.  We'll need to see if those secondary pitches come enough to allow him to be a Ricky Nolasco type.
