As for the comparison between Drabek and Colvin, Colvin has the better fastball, Drabek the better curve, or I’ve missed something.

The Phillies probably got two good prospects in Colvin and Jonathan Singleton.

I have questions about four other Phils pitching prospects.

1) Jarred Cosart, did he have Tommy John surgery that he is just now coming back from?

2) Their “City of God” prospect Heitor Correa, why was he on the restricted list last year?

3) Colby Shreve, is he going to pitch this year?

4)Jonathan Pettibone, is he hurt?

Is this ironclad?
