Phillies draft Drew Titsworth

There's a handful of Philly Bros who are just waiting with abated breath for this guy to get called up. And a shirsey with the name "Titsworth" that will be $20 and hanging at some sort of sketchy near-stadium vendor ready for those bros to buy.

13th round: C Emmanuel Hernández, prep from Puerto Rico

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Unranked by BA. 319 by PG.

are there less guys from Puerto Rico in the draft these days or am I imagining it

catchers come from unusual sources.  I like the idea of a 17-year-old catcher.  

Breaks up the run after 10 straight pitchers.  I'm fine with going pitchers the rest of the way, unless they need an experienced catcher for minor-league-roster reasons...
