steveno89 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:17 AM) Yay more outfielders. Thought we were short on AAAA guys there. Carlos Tocci Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 30 | Run: 55 | Arm: 50 | Field: 55 | Overall: 45 When Tocci first signed with the Phillies back in 2011, the farm system was a little thin, so despite lacking physical strength, he was pushed to full-season ball aggressively in '13. He spent parts of three seasons there as a result, finally making it out of Lakewood for good in 2016. He capped a solid season there by hitting .323 in the Venezuelan Winter League and finishing fifth in on-base percentage, then followed that up with a solid showing in his move up to Double-A in 2017. Tocci has long shown a strong hit tool, making consistent contact to all fields and rarely striking out. His willingness to draw walks in Venezuela is a good sign as well. What Tocci continues to lack, however, is strength. He has no power to speak of, and he has the tendency to wear down over the course of the season because he hasn't been able to add the strength necessary to hold up. He is an excellent defender in center field and if he were a basestealing threat, the Phillies probably would have had to add him to the 40-man roster last offseason to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. Instead, he's still in the organization and performing well in the upper levels for the first time, and at the age of 21 for almost all of the 2017 season.

flavum Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) Tocci is the one and only pick in the Major League phase. Nobody from the Sox org was picked. Edited December 14, 2017 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have rather taken a chance on a bullpen arm but it is what it is. We'll see what the Sox plan on doing with another 4th OF type in Tocci.
