Corky Miller is still picking up a paycheck (albeit not a big one) to play baseball. Huh.
If he's a minor league free agent, then he's making decent money. Less than the major league minimum, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's six figures or close to it.
is Dominic Brown still considered to be a big time prospect?
I think he has too many PAs to count as a prospect now. I can't speak on what Phillies fans think of him.
Yordany Valdespin wins the "best name" contest.
