Phils confirm Brody Colvin signing
Hours before the 11:59pm signing deadline for this year's draft picks, a report from Louisiana's 2theadvocate.com, among other reports from Lousiana, says that the Phillies have agreed to a deal with highly-regarded righthanded pitcher Brody Colvin. Colvin slipped to the seventh round because of a commitment to play at LSU. Colvin participated in a workout at Citizens Bank Park this week. A Phillies official could not confirm this for the Inquirer a few minutes ago.

- Nice work Phils!— JimG
- Since when did the Phillies actually do anything right? This is so distorted......Where's Rod Sterling, have we entered the Twilight Zone?— therefump
- "Colvin was on campus Monday and went through freshman orientation, Mainieri said, but a last-day signing bonus offer of $900,000 from the Philadelphia Phillies lured him away."— jjenkins
- my sentiments exactly therefump. since when did the phillies go from being a laughingstock organization (for pretty much their entire history) to doing everything right. this was a huge signing. highest pitcher they drafted (they love their outfielders) so to get a guy with 1st round talent that late is awesome. kudos to dave, ruben, and the rest, i'm really proud to be a phillies fan right now.
