Drabek, Flande to pitch in Futures Game
David Murphy, Daily News Staff Writer
Kyle Drabek, who may have surpassed Carlos Carrasco as the organization's top pitching prospect, will pitch in the 2009 Futures Game, scheduled for All-Star Week in St. Louis. Drabek is 3-0 with a 2.08 ERA in four starts at Double A Reading and is 7-1 with a 2.36 ERA in 13 starts between Clearwater and Reading.
Drabek is one of two Phillies who will participate in the game, which has featured the likes of Cole Hamels and Ryan Howard in the past.
Yohan Flande, a 22-year-old lefthander currently at Class A Clearwater, will pitch for the World Team. Flande is 7-1 with a 2.52 ERA in 13 starts this season.
Last year, righthander Carlos Carrasco, short stop Jason Donald and catcher Lou Marson all competed in the game.
Thanks for the input, MPatt24. What are you, a blog critic? FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO— PhightinPhan- PhightinPhan - No apostrophe !?? Really dude, go flogg the dolphin if you're THAT bored. The Phils should bring up Drabek and see how he does unless they actually sign a solid #2 starter.— Will.i.Am
- Hey PhightinPhan, you misspelled your own name! I'm just saying :)— duuuuude
Yo tfarnath, please get a clue. Out here in SF? And they won their last W.S. when? Where are you going to put all the arms if you bring them all up? They need to play often not parttime. Don't forget almost the entire staff was here last year and they won it all. You don't just go out and make total changes. Take a look at the standings we are not in last place. Duh.— PHAZED- TO TFARNATH arbitration eligibility!!!— DONDEN31
- Can he come up yesterday? This garbage - starters and bullpen alike at this point - is getting hard to stomach. Preferably, give me someone that has the stones to put batters away with two outs.— EaglesWest
Let's see if this works.
