Heading into the 2017 season according to MLB.com MLB Pipeline and ESPN MLB Insiders there are three Phillies' Prospects ranked among the Top 100 in Baseball: J.P. Crawford, Mickey Moniak, and Jorge Alfaro.  While Crawford is expected to start the season at Triple-A, it's Alfaro who is currently on the Phillies' 40-man Roster.

Former Member of Blue Jays Front Office and current ESPN MLB Insider Keith Law joined The Sports Bash on Tuesday with analysis of Crawford heading into 2017:

"I would say he failed to take the step forward that I thought he would take, that a lot of scouts thought he would take, that I'm sure the Phillies thought he would take.  Every guy struggles a little with each promotion so that wasn't necessarily a surprise when he struggled when he first got to Triple-A; he never totally came out of it and some of the scouts I talked to felt like he might be sulking a little bit that he didn't start (the season) in Triple-A....It also sounds like he's trying to hit for a little more power then he should be, he is a contact guy (with) really good eye, really good approach at the plate.  I would much rather see him just accept he's not going to be a Power Hitter, just spray the whole field with line drives, plenty of power for Doubles and Triples and just get on base all the time.  That's going to make him a good player, it's going to make him a very well paid player given time.  It just seems like he needed to make some adjustments last year that didn't happen and that just holds his value down."
