The Phillies have had a bit of success finding guys that they can grab for free, raiding another team that is in a 40-man roster crunch. Curet could possibly be the next.<\/p>\n
Yoniel Curet – 97
Zach McCambley – 82
Alex McFarlane – 11
Griff Burkholder – 9
Keaton Anthony – 9
Mavis Graves – 7
Seth Johnson – 7<\/p>\n
The Phillies like to make moves with the Rays, acquiring high octane arms that Tampa needs to expose because of a roster crunch. It worked with Jose Alvarado and the team is hoping it works again with Curet. A starter with the Rays, it looks like the Phillies will be trying him out as a reliever to be some depth in their system. Curet looks like somewhat interesting if he can figure out some control.<\/p>\n

Curet pitched a couple of times in the Dominican Winter League and was still throwing hard, but he had very little feel, especially for his upper-80s slider. He\u2019s an interesting change-of-scenery pickup by the Phils, as a little over a year ago, he seemed talented enough to pitch in the eighth or ninth inning even if things didn\u2019t work out for him as a starter. Still, at this point, he\u2019s purely a bounce-back candidate whose lack of option years puts extreme pressure on him to throw more strikes during 2026 spring training or else be on Philly\u2019s roster bubble.<\/p>\n
With each new post, we\u2019ll reveal who won the voting for that particular slot, then post new players for you to vote on, adding another one to the list each time until we get to our final tally of 20. Once we get to 20 top prospects, we\u2019ll do an honorable mention post at the end. If a player gets traded to another team, we\u2019ll just chuck him right on outta here and all the players will move up a spot. If a prospect gets acquired, we\u2019ll ask where he should go on the list.<\/p>\n
