Since the rebuild of the Philadelphia Phillies started in 2012. With now the departure of Papelbon and soon to be trade of Cole Hamels. The climax of the rebuild is finally happening, what is good to notice is the infiltration of young arms. Below is a list of Phillies pitchers 25yrs old and younger to be excited about for the Phillies future:
Ken Giles: Philadelphia Phillies Age 24 RHP
Aaron Nola: Philadelphia Phillies Age 22 RHP
Adam Morgan: Philadelphia Phillies Age 25 LHP
Jesse Biddle: Triple A Lehigh Valley Age 23 LHP
Zach Efflin: Double A Reading Age 21 RHP
Ricardo Pinto: SIngle A Clearwater Age 21 RHP
Ben Lively: Double A Reading Age 23 RHP
Tom Windle: Double A Reading Age 23 LHP
Matt Imhof: Single A Clearwater Age 21 LHP
Nick Pivetta Double A Reading Age 22: RHP
All the prospects above, will not all become MLB pitchers for many years, the idea is to add as many pitching assets as possible and if you can get half of this list to make it into the 2017/2018 Phillies Starting Rotation and Giles plays out to be the closer for the next 10 years. The Philadelphia Phillies could be relevant and pushing for a World Series once again.
