Is Jon Singleton in Phillies Future?

[jvett77]

Singleton, 23, LH, was drafted by the Phils in the 8th round, 2009. With recent trades by Houston, he is odd man out and will likely be sent down. In 7 years in A/AA/AAA, he did .278.387/.476. His 71 game 2015 AAA stats were .277/.385/.547, 17 HR, 66 RBI, not too shabby.

He still strikes out a lot as his two years with the Astros show. He's been going thru the same things as Ruf. The front office will likely check on his progress.

2014 HOU 95 games, .168/.285/.335, 13 HR, 44 RBI, 134K/310AB - 43%
2015 HOU 16 games, .205/.321/.318, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 16K/44AB - 36%

Have you seen the crazy contract Singleton has? Ruf probably wouldn't mind being jerked around by the Phillies if he was making 2 million a year.

Good point. Plus he gets about $20 mill in '17, '18.

Yeah I'm confused about how the Phillies would go about obtaining him

Hmmm. Give them DH Howard for Singleton. Instant HRs for potential.
