Team to watch
While the Phillies' best prospects are spread somewhat evenly up and down the system, Clearwater is the place to go to see the best the organization has to offer. Four of the top six prospects will begin the season with the Threshers in the Florida State League, starting with No. 1 Sixto Sanchez, who is expected to join the rotation within two weeks or less as the Phillies manage his workload. No. 4 Adonis Medina gives Clearwater an outstanding 1-2 punch in the rotation, while the club's last two first-round picks, 2016 No. 1 overall selection Mickey Moniak (No. 5) and '17 No. 8 pick Adam Haseley (No. 6 prospect) will patrol the outfield together.

New faces
No. 14 prospect Enyel De Los Santos has moved around a bit, starting his career with the Mariners back in 2014, then getting dealt to the Padres after the '15 season. After throwing 150 innings in Double-A in '17, finishing fifth in strikeouts, he came to the Phillies in the Freddy Galvis trade last December. He'll start the year with his third organization in Triple-A, the proverbial phone call away. Luis Garcia (No. 26 on Phillies' Top 30) was ranked No. 7 on MLB Pipeline's Top 30 International Prospects last summer and the Phillies liked the shortstop enough to give him $2.5 million to sign in July. He's yet to make his official debut, but he did impress in the Dominican academy after signing, as well as at instructs. A start in the Gulf Coast League isn't out of the question.
On the shelf
Kevin Gowdy (No. 29) was once thought to be a first-round talent and the Phillies were thrilled to get him in the second round of the 2016 Draft, going well above pick value to sign him. But he needed Tommy John surgery last August and will miss the '18 season.
