The Phillies system is better than I thought before I started researching. Aidan Miller is an exciting player and might have an All-Star upside. If Andrew Painter can return to form, he could pitch at the top of the rotation in a couple of years. Remember, he hasn’t pitched in two seasons, so he needs time to return and acclimate. Then again, Kumar Rocker looked better after he returned from TJS. Justin Crawford and Starlyn Caba are also elite prospects and Crawford could see Philadelphia as soon as next season.
Those are the top four prospects in the system, but several more players could develop into Major Leaguers.
