Can Jesus hit? Cause if they had 5 Wheelers this shit don't matter and why would they not put Ranger in pen at some point? He cant handle starting he would be a elite closer

Jim Thome was my childhood idol. I followed him to Philly when he signed in November 2002. At the time I lived only an hour from the Phillies’ AAA Red Barons in Scranton Wilkes-Barre. That’s where I found Utley. Nobody played as hard or as smart as Chase. I never missed an at bat. Loved him.

I disagree with Ruben; if Saquon (and the rest of the starting O) wants to play, it becomes the coach and mgmt’s decision to play him. No way they come out and say we told him we didn’t want him to play. They’d never present it as it being his decision, for multiple reasons.

I know we are in the time of analytics but I still feel Phillies need to use their speed to create runs when they are having problems scoring runs. I would have Trea Turner and Byrson Stott at the top of the line up instead of Schwaber. I would bat him 4th or 5th. Switch him with Bohm based on Righty Lefty situation. What you guys think?

I agree with you. I’d go Turner, Stott, Harper, Bohm, Schwarber, Casty, Kepler, JT, Marsh. It’s amazing how much they are missing a RH power bat though.

Why spend 10mil on a guy who is basically Marsh? Except Marsh isnt a 32 year old career .237 hitter.
@christopherodonnell717 күн бұрын
Likely due to his plate discipline metrics. He’s got a solid approach and doesn’t strike out a ton. Marsh has really hurt himself with the 30%+ SO rate
@danielrogers31217 күн бұрын
@@christopherodonnell71 What you say is no doubt true. I have no doubt that they made this signing to address the perception that chase killed last year's team. It may have a bit of validity, but let's compare Kepler and Marsh for a minute. First off, if you are planning to move marsh to center, you are harming your defense in two positions, although not a ton. Marsh is only making a million bucks. Kepler is making $10.1 with a 110% tax which is really $21mil and 10 slots in the draft. Both of these things could weaken more positions. Marsh: 135 G, .249/.328/.419, 16 HR, 60 RBI,19 SB, 108 wRC+, 32.4 K%, 10.5 BB% .348 BABIP dWAR 0.5 Age 27 Kepler: 105 G. .253/.302/.380, 8 HR, 42 RBI,1 SB, 94 wRC+, 20.1 K%, 5.5 BB% .300 BABIP dWAR -0.7 Age: 32 Both of these are below career average years, last year. Marsh walks twice as much, steals bases, hits .50 better when he does put it in play, is a better leftfielder and hits more HRs. So chase is literally the only category that Kepler wins. TO me it's just not worth it, whether you put MArsh in center or bench him. Also Kepler isn't a leftfielder. I'm assuming since they are already spending too much that they will go with what they have. So that probably means Marsh and Kepler against righties, Wilson and Rojas against lefties. I don't have much problem with it, I just don't think Kepler is worth the money, nor does he improve the team. Cal Stephenson may be his equal. We'll see. Regardless, I hope I'm totally wrong and Kepler has an MVP season. Really love the Luzardo trade, that will absolutely improve the team a lot.

Remember 2010 with the pitching staff they had. Put Ranger in pen. He cant start cause he falls apart. Funny Jim said no way they bringing back same team but now he says there got to win eith players here. Dude come on. Jesus i hear excuses now. This is the 4th year with same God damn hitters.

I still believe Dave will be still active in the trade market for a center fielder and it’ll be a 1yr bullpen arm. Marsh is a good player but not an everyday player. If we trade for a above average cf and grab a bullpen arm we will be set.

I can understand Dombrowski doesn't wanna go over the third luxury tax. But for the right players I would , go get Tanner Scott for the bullpen and call it an offseason. Then see what happens for the rest of the year , Go big for Vlad Jr or Kyle Tucker then hopefully Justin Crawford is ready for next year
@MbgFire20679 күн бұрын
Idk, I feel like Kepler is Whit Merrifield/Austin Hays 2.0. I’m not a huge fan of giving up a top 100 and Phillies #4 prospect for Luzardo. It’s rare we ever have any good prospects so to give one up is not great. Why is Dombrowski not going after one of these big impact players? We are a top market and have the money or just do deferred like LA? I still think we move Harper back to the OF and sign Alonso at 1B 🤷🏻♂️

We knew this would happen and we signed up for it, anyway. About $50 million per year will fall off each of the next 3 years, though, so hopefully some rooks will start working out for us and things will get under control and sustainable. I think Ranger and Kerkering are two keys to this season, and Stott and Sanchez after that. They are in the positions to make or break the season and define the future. After this year, they will have Schwarb, JT and Ranger FAs.
