2015 Phillies Draft Recap

Disclaimer: I used to get really excited about most every pick under Marti Wolever's running the draft (exception Larry Greene, Jr. where I wanted Jackie Bradley, Jr., which I guess would have been a slight improvement). Wolever drafted exciting High Schoolers with sky high ceilings (and flaws aplenty). There was a ton to dream on, and sure he'd sprinkle in safe College guys in the 3-7th rounds (Worley, Happ, Rupp, etc.), but the stars of his drafts that got me all excited were the toolsy kids like Hewitt, Kyrell Hudson, Collier, Mitch Walding, Gueller, Altherr, etc. A few of those guys, like Altherr, look like they could be decent enough players, but most flamed out badly and quickly.
