The Philadelphia Phillies roster is beginning to take shape, with the regular season less than two weeks away. The organization made roster cuts on March 12 and 13. The reassigned players consisted of young prospects who aren't ready for the majors yet.
Philadelphia will have two of its top prospects make the Opening Day roster, in all likelihood, in Justin Crawford and Andrew Painter. The team doesn't have one of the strongest prospect systems in baseball, but there may be some improvement if the young players can progress this year in the minors. One of the Phillies' other top-ranked prospects, who's battling a lingering back injury, was among the roster cuts: Aidan Miller, whose rehab will continue out of the spotlight.
