Phillies 2019 picks
This & That
» The Phillies have picked 14th two other times and neither panned out. They selected Reggie Taylor in 1995 and Phil Meyer in 1967. Taylor, coincidentally, played just 14 games for the Phillies. Meyer never made it past double-A.
» The five best No. 14 picks are Tino Martinez (1988), Jason Varitek (1994), Derrek Lee (1993), Jason Heyward (2007) and Jose Fernandez (2011). The late John Marzano (Central High/Temple) was the 14th pick of the 1984 draft, by Boston.
» Phillies beat writer Matt Breen says Baylor catcher Shea Langeliers could be a candidate at No. 14. Langeliers set an NCAA postseason record on Saturday with 11 RBI in a win over Omaha.
» The Phillies do not have a second round pick as a result of signing free agent Bryce Harper.
» The first two rounds and two competitive balance rounds are Monday. As explained by the Associated Press, the competitive balance rounds, “give teams with lowest revenues and smallest markets opportunity to get additional picks. Seven teams awarded picks for competitive balance round A following first round through formula that considers winning percentage and revenue. Eight additional teams received picks for competitive balance round B following second round. Competitive balance picks are tradeable up until a few hours before draft begins, but teams are not permitted to deal any other picks in the draft.”
» Monday’s portion will take place at the MLB Network studio in Secaucus, N.J. Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s selections will be made via conference calls.
