The Phillies made two late January signings that could affect several of the organization's young players, such as Domonic Brown, Darin Ruf, Phillippe Aumont and Justin De Fratus.
The Phillies drafted a pair of promising high school outfielders from Southern California in 2008, and many in the organization envisioned Zach Collier and Anthony Gose one day becoming two-thirds of the outfield in Philadelphia. That scenario didn't play out.
The Phillies roll-the-dice style and their need for outfield depth led them to select Ender Inciarte from the Diamondbacks with the 15th pick of this year's Rule 5 draft.
