brody colvin

Before I forget, on Monday, the final day for draft signings, the Phillies signed their 7th-round pick, right-handed pitcher Brody Colvin of Lafayette, Louisiana. Colvin, who had a verbal commitment to attend Louisiana State University, is 6'4" and throws in the low 90's. He may be a replacement for Jason Knapp, sent over to the Indians in the Lee and Francisco trade. Whatever he is, he's got a great name. The Phillies signed all of their picks in the top 10 rounds but a couple of coveted fish still got away. Colvin had dropped lower in the draft because of signability issues. Kudos to Marti Woloever and his staff for getting it done.
