John Mabry (10/17/70) had made a career of being an average lefty bat off of the bench. There's nothing wrong with that job assignment, but when he was traded straight up for Jeremy Giambi in mid-season, it was generally believed that the A's had been fleeced. Bizarrely, John Mabry's arrival coincided with Oakland's reborn playoff run, while Giambi rotted on the bench in Philadelphia. An example of the brilliance of Oakland's Billy Beane? Just a bizarre coincidence? Mabry was next signed by Seattle before the 2003 season. (updated 1/25/03) (Back to the Phillies' Depth Chart)

Anderson Machado (1/25/81) was signed as a free agent out of Venezuela and was the youngest Phillies player to play the whole season at Reading or above in 2002, which cemented his "prospect" status despite his batting average which is hovering around .250 for the whole season. He was not over his head in the Eastern League, and has got a fine walk rate, but was striking out too often. Machado can afford to take a slower track, but not to backtrack as he did in 2003, dropping below the Mendoza line for the season. He will need to do much better in 2004 to remain a prospect.

Jean Machi (2/1/83) was signed as a free agent in Venezuela, and was brought over into the GCL for the 2002 season. Reportedly clocked at 98 MPH in Venezuela, Machi started out in America with more walks than strikeouts, only turning his numbers around in his last few appearances of the year. He continued to put up mediocre numbers in Batavia in 2003. He did not make a U.S. team in 2004, partially due to visa quotas, and partially due to behavioral problems, I believe, and was selected by the D-Rays in the minor league portion of the 2005 Rule 5 draft.

Ryan Madson (8/28/80)was drafted in the 9th round of the Phillies' 1998 amateur draft. Before his 22nd birthday, he had already established himself as the ace of the Reading Phillies' staff, his 3.20 ERA easily besting his numbers at Clearwater, and proving that his performance in the Sally League in 2000 was not a fluke. He made his major league debut in Philadelphia in 2003, and was brought in to be the long reliever in 2004. A single game started that went horribly wrong seems to have labelled him a reliever, despite his entire career to date. He would likely to a better job in the rotation than at least Myers and Lidle.

Although hitting .424 over a two week stretch in late August of 2001 highlighted his potential, it only put in stark relief how attrocious the rest of his short-season was at Batavia, as he finished with a .223 batting average. Apparently found deserving of a place on a full-season team, Margalski turned in a .211 performance at Lakewood so far. Another example how catching is the Phillies' weakest link in the low minors. Margalski was outrighted to the Columbus Redstixx (Cleveland) soon after the 2002 season. (updated 3/27/03) (Back to the Phillies' Depth Chart)

Troy NcNaughton (1/27/75) is was the best hitter in Clearwater in 2002. He is also 27, which makes him 2 years older than anyone on the team except journeyman Juan Sosa. It was great that he is there, since he was not blocking any prospects, and without the C-Phils would have a much better chance of breaking the record for worst season ever. Bizarrely, he was promoted to Reading, which he clearly deserved, but where he was not needed nearly as much (considering that he hit .235 in New Haven last year). Perhaps it was just too confusing having two Troys on the same team. At Reading, he lived down to expectations, proving yet again that McNaughton found his ceiling at single-A. A free agent in the offseason, McNaughton was not re-signed. (updated 12/24/02) (Back to the Phillies' Depth Chart)

Finally pushed to full season ball in 2003, however, he struggled, keeping up his home runs, as well as a few walks, but striking out in over a third of his at bats. Further, the conversion to outfielder lost whatever residual offensive value he had.

Josh Miller (2/7/79) was drafted by the Phillies in the 32nd round of the 2001 amateur draft. He is a control pitcher who is thriving in the minor by giving up many fewer walks as he has struck out. Unfortunately, he isn't striking out nearly enough hitters, and pitchers with this profile tend to fade quickly as they climb the ladder and the quality of the hitters improves faster than they do. This appears to be what happened in 2003. (updated 9/23/02) (Back to the Phillies' Depth Chart)

He was traded to the Phillies for AAA catcher Johnny Estrada in December of 2002 when Greg Maddux accepted arbitration with the Braves. He had a good, but not stellar, year in 2003, capped by the only no-hitter of the year. He accepted arbitration and will be back in 2004. (updated 2/24/04) (Back to the Phillies' Depth Chart)

Timi Moni-erigbali (6/11/82) was signed as a free agent in 2002, apparently because the GCL team had promoted most of its outfielders, and team hadn't signed enough of its high school picks to make a team that met the age restrictions of rookie ball. Originally a 42nd round pick by the Dodgers in 2000 out of Columbus (GA) high school, Moni never appeared in a game for the Dodgers organization. He has begun his Phillies career 0 for 8 with 8 strikeouts, on his way to an .098 batting average (4 singles) with an K/AB rate of above 60% and a K/BB rate of 25 to 1! Has a worse performance ever been turned in by a Phillies farm hand? If not, the records have been burned. Back in 2003, his numbers improved (how could they not?) and he is reputed to be a speedster. (updated 2/25/04) (Back to the Phillies' Depth Chart)

Brett Myers (8/17/80) was the Phil's first round pick in the 1999 amateur draft (12th overall) and was the Phillies' top pitching prospect entering 2002. Promoted to Philadelphia in mid-July, 2002, Myers was sparkling in his first start, and stunningly bad in his second. 2003 solidified his spot on the roster, but he has so far mixed sterling outings with stretches of very bad. 2004 was his worst season to date, and 2005 finds him still hanging on to the #5 rotation slot.
