Draft reading
Matt Gelb, Inquirer Staff Writer
After you've done your reading from The Inquirer's coverage of the three-day baseball draft, here is a catch-all for local stories on as many Phillies draft picks I could find.
The 50 picks the Phillies made are mostly just names to us, but many of these newspapers have been following the players through high school or college and can provide some greater context.
If I missed any, post them in the comments section...

Got the wrong newspaper (and wrong Wright) for No. 211...— ksam- Nothing about Rube's nephew?— Zherog
oh no wright was wrong again?— Kevinmac- I could pick names out of a hat and would end up with as many future mlb stars as these Scouts do. It's all a crapshoot.— farley
