2011 MLB Draft: Grading the Phillies First 5 Picks

With Day 2 of the draft winding down, we can get a feel for what most teams were looking for.  Marti Wolever, the Philadelphia Phillies Director of Scouting, said that they were looking for some power bats, catchers and that he wanted to shore up the infield.
