You can be average to rubbish defensively, but need to put up HRs and RBIs. One year wonders, especially in their FIRST season, are prime trade bait. The law of averages that they're going to sustain that over multiple years is dicey at best. Trade them when they're 'hot' and cash in on more less flash in the pan but more sustaining long term prospects. Easier said than done, but it's how business needs to be conducted. I’d ask this besides Realmuto, harper and didi, which player is above average at their position? I think segura is on the decline. Last year he was not good and i think for a third baseman you want more production then what he’d give. Kingery is ok. I’d say average. Haseley /Quinn currently below average. Hoskins average to below average. Mccutchen I’d say is an average player now. 5 years ago stud. Now i think he’s average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they are not being covered up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last two months of that year he hit .215 (43-200) 13 hrs and 26 RBIs. So averaged 6.5 homers and 13 RBIs those months. About what his average per month was last year was 5 homers 14.2rbis (29 homers and 85 RBIs). Honestly his call up in 2017 makes people believe he’d be a star. he’s overrated What were Franco's numbers during that stretch? Im only asking, because outside of Hoskin's power, they seem like the same hitter. Afraid to make contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The focus should be on Harper, Realmuto and Didi for now. Make that your Core 3 players and BUILD around them. Look to build on your farm system and the prospects. Trade who you can for more draft picks or developmental players. You know you're not going to win NOW with what you have, so trade away what makes you a contender now (except the younger players) and reload with talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if they don’t believe they can re-sign Realmuto id actually consider dealing him if the package was great enough. I have a gut feeling the Phillies will use the pandemic as an excuse to not overpay him what some team will pay him in FA. I think they’ll justify they didn’t plan to have it happen this way when they made the trade but they didn’t see a pandemic hitting and hurting them as much as they say financially.

700Level4Life Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Watching the postgame, Ricky Bo took a shot at Gabe and I loved it. Joe made some questionable moves, but he answered the questions about the moves they way it should be done. He had substance to his answers. A breath of fresh air.

So he doesn’t have nearly the at bats or games hoskins did. Hoskins in 2019 played 160 games. Hoskins has 770 at bats from August 2018 to end of 2019. Franco just 488 Franco: .242 (118-488) 22 HRs 71 RBIs. But he also had only 488 at bats. Hoskins was at 770. So a difference of 282 at bats. If you project Franco with the 770 at bats hoskins got his numbers would project out to .242 (186-770), 35 homers and 112 RBIs. Hoskins over that time total had .223 (172-770) 42 HRs and 111 RBIs. So basically Franco would’ve had a higher average and almost identical RBI production and about 1 less homer a month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Hoskins, but if you can move him, do it! Only 2 guys on this team are untouchable. Harper and JT. Everyone else, including Kingery and Bohm, if an offer is made, that seems legit. Id do it. Nothing happens this year,but next offseason, up until the trade deadline, I hope whoever is the GM (Please dont be Clowntek), is making moves to contend for the long haul.

toughfighter83 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 the problem with this team and the reason why we won the world series is the pitching, we dont have a deep pitching rotation, not to menion the bullpen is crap, klentak threw money at hitting instead of pitchers only wheeler that's not enough. if they dont resign jt then trade him to get some good pitchers in the rotation and bullpen help, letting him walk for nothing will set this team back.

There is more than 1 way to win, of course. The Phillies don’t quite have the talent. For all their investment in the bats, last year showed they are a very, very streaky lineup that has almost no high average hitters who are reliable for just getting a damn base hit in a high leverage situation. Pitching-wise, they did their best to add some depth to the rotation, but it still isn’t deep. Nola wouldn’t be considered an ace on a team with WS aspirations...and isn’t the kind of guy who can pick up the slack over the course of a season for a weak bullpen or a thin rotation. He just isn’t. As an individual pitcher, he’s great...the least of our problems. As someone to build the entire staff around? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
