Some semi-conflicting info is coming out about the prospects going to Houston in the Roy Oswalt Trade. Says Jayson Stark:
Roy Oswalt Trade To Phillies Includes Jonathan Singleton, Or Doesn’t
While the Phillies prospects have not been identified, sources said the Astros have pressed hard for first baseman Jonathan Singleton, considered the team’s best minor-league hitting prospect.
But adds Ken Rosenthal:
Hearing A) Singleton not in deal and B) #Phillies getting less than 12M, though number is in that range. Educated guess: 10-11M
Singleton is an 18 year old first baseman in A-ball, where he’s hit .312/.418/.526 on the year with 12 home runs and as many walks as strikeouts. He’s a pretty good young prospect, and a pretty good young prospect who doesn’t appear to be involved in this deal.
So we’re back to Matt Rizzotti and Vance Worley. We’ll see where it goes from here.
