Interesting Aumont Article
Aumont improved early in second year with Phillies organization
"The Cliff Lee deal, when it's all said and done, we're going to get major-league players out of that deal," assistant general manager Chuck "Little Old Me" LaMar said. "It might take longer than people wanted it to, but if we can keep Tyson Gillies on the field and healthy, there is the potential that all three of those guys will help us."
Gillies, still sidelined by a lingering hamstring issue that is expected to keep him out another two to four weeks, remains the biggest concern among the three players obtained for Lee.
The greatest reason for optimism, on the other hand, is Phillippe Aumont, the 6-foot-7 righthander who once ranked 83d among Baseball America's top prospects. After going a combined 3-11 with a 5.68 ERA last year at double-A Reading and single-A Clearwater, Aumont returned for spring training this year with renewed confidence.
