I think we are close to being a decent team with one more starter, one more solid bullpen piece and our hitters back healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vsptroops Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Phillies just picked CF Justin Crawford, son of Carl Crawford with their 1st round pick. Drafted out of high school I hope he he doesn't follow the Moniak path. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve gone from beating Carl Crawford in our last World Series title to now drafting his son 14 years later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranklinFldEBUpper Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 The Phillies just love picking toolsy high school kids. Unfortunately their track record is crap. I can’t count the number of times I’ve gone to minor league games to watch their prospects and see former first round picks hitting .200. This is gonna be a long wait too.

xzmattzx Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 On the other hand, sons of former major leaguers seem to do well lately: Bo Bichette (taken in the 2016 draft long after Moniak, and out of high school), Cal Quantrill (also 2016 draft after Moniak), Vlad Guerrero Jr, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I don't know anything about this kid other than what I posted. If it was me, I would just pick the college players. To me, that is the safer way to go, especially when player development has been a major problem for a decade. But, hopefully with Preston Mattingly in charge, things will get better. Gonna take a couple of years to find out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-a-g-l-e-s eagles! Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I really dislike the toolsy outfielder from high school. We have rarely had success with that. I’d have taken Daniel susac the catcher from Arizona. Susac is likely ready in 2 years. So when realmuto really declines he’s ready to take over. Allows you to use O’hoppe in a trade at the deadline. Susac is a really good hitter. Have had Arizona coaches under Johnson and now under hale tell me he’s going to be an all star as a hitter but he’s even better in how he calls the game.

Joe Shades 73 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 The MLB all star game was once the only all star game to watch, I am done after 2 batters, the uniforms are terrible and it is a big joke ohtani gets picked off, the one all star game you could say was a good game is ruined, garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He literally took all of the great traditions of MLB and threw them all in the crapper when he became commish. My favorite was when he decided to make the all-star game determine home field advantage for the World Series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdsFanBill Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 What an idiot. Yeah our biggest problem is our reigning MVP outfielder who is signed for eternity and did a (all things considered) team friendly deal so we could spend money to get good players. Papelbon is a joke, always was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
