Stock Up, Stock Down for Philadelphia Phillies’ Top 10 Prospects for Week 15

The Philadelphia Phillies may be heading into their All-Star break this week, but the majority of their minor league teams will continue on with their respective seasons.

The Phillies have reached the All-Star break with a record of 48-48, adding to the mystery of whether the team will buy, sell or do a little of both with the non-waiver trade deadline approaching.

What’s more certain, however, is that a number of prospects may see their futures with the team impacted depending on what the Phillies decide to do.

While general manager Ruben Amaro, Jr. and the front office decide whether to add to the farm system or use current minor leaguers as trade pieces, the team’s prospects must continue progressing and try to follow in the footsteps of Jonathan Pettibone and Darin Ruf.

One prospect who is not ranked in the top 10 but who has had an outstanding season so far is Severino Gonzalez.

In the South Atlantic League, Gonzalez has 31 strikeouts to just three walks in 21.1 innings and, combined with his numbers from the Florida State League, has 64 strikeouts and has walked just six batters this season.

But how did the rest of the Phillies’ top 10 prospects, according to Baseball America, fare this week? Did Jesse Biddle and Maikel Franco shine at the Sirius XM All-Star Futures Game?

Let’s take a look at whose stock is up and whose is down following Week 15.
