Hey, another championship game!
The Mesa Solar Sox — whose roster includes nine Phillies prospects and minor leaguers — will play the Phoenix Desert Dogs in today’s Arizoa Fall League championship. The game is at 2:35 p.m. and can be seen on MLB.com.
Phils infield prospect Jason Donald has led the Solar Sox all AFL season, hitting .407 with five home runs and 17 runs batted in. The roster also includes catchers Lou Marson and Tuffy Gosewich, outfielders Quintin Berry and Jeremy Slayden, and pitchers Andrew Carpenter, Tyson Brummett, Pat Overholt and Sergio Escalona.
The Solar Sox also include players from the Braves, Tigers, Cubs and Marlins.

Thanks for the info. Last season was so awesome, I didn’t want it to end. It’ll be cool to check out the prospects.

Tim when you do can you bring us up to speed on where Kyle Drabek’s really at and if his recent numbers/health are deceiving or reason for excitement.

NJ according to what I have read he is throwing almost all fastballs, His velocity is suppose to be better than before the injury. The phillies are not letting him throw many breaking balls right now. does anyone think that the slow free agent market has anything to do with slow economic . Or they waiting for Boras to set the market.{I HATE SCOTT BORAS].
