| Margot (L); Hamels (R) |
One day after Phillies left-hander
Cole Hamels threw his first career no-hitter, rumors of his trade to Boston have intensified. Multiple reports suggest that
Philadelphia is very high on AA CF Manuel Margot—ranked as the #4 prospect in the Boston organization by the authoritative
SoxProspects.com. Margot hit .282 at Single A Salem earlier this year and is currently batting .263 at AA Portland. Margot is rated as having plus power and bat speed for a smaller guy (6', 170 pounds). He also has plus range in CF and can steal a base. It would likely take
more than Margot to get Hamels, but he could be the centerpiece. Stay tuned!
