Friend of the site Steve Potter, also known as @JpoppaCool on Twitter, took time this week to provide some lists of top performers throughout the Phillies' minor league ranks.
Steve is the author of the book The 2016 Phillies Minor Leagues: A Fan's View. It's a great paperback offering that is available at Citizens Bank Park and online from multiple outlets.
With just Lakewood in action on Monday, out of the four full-season teams, most of the listings are accurate, with stats accurate through Sunday. Take a look at the organization leader boards in various offensive and pitching categories below...
