While not ideal, Castellanos needs to be the cleanup guy for now on when Schwarber leads off. He's streaky as hell but he's also the best of what they have for that spot. Bohm needs to be sent down to Triple A to send a message. They don't have the stones to do that though. Robby T is an idiot. He will leave it this way.

Bohm needs to be sent down to Triple A to send a message. They don't have the stones to do that though. Same reason they have realmuto batting 4-6 when he’s not a middle of the lineup guy anymore. Saw last night and this season when he’s 7-9 spot he’s fine. Cause he doesn’t get RBI opportunities as much. He’s still not great but at least serviceable offensively when he’s out of the middle. bohm has never been a 3-5 hitter. Ideally 6th behind your cleanup and 5 hole hitter like Castellanos. Issue is the Phillies for the last 3 years don’t have a cleanup hitter unless they move schwarber into the cleanup spot which they only do against LH. They’ve needed a cleanup hitter since Rhys got hurt. It’s why i still want them to go after Tucker. I don’t care about the years and money. If they win a WS with him and he sucks for 6 years of the contract so be it. Tbh likely are going to have Nola, Turner and maybe even Harper not be good all at the same time for a few years and hindering our ability to add and win. Might as well just go all in on signing Tucker in FA and hoping we break through in one of his first couple years.

Probably wouldn’t. They won’t call him up until they can get past the accrued season being effected. Which frankly is understandable as it gives them like half a year in 2025 and an extra year on the backend of a cheap contract

If Crawford keeps hitting this way in triple A i think middle of June is when he gets called up. There’s a certain amount of days if he’s in the majors that counts as an accrued season. Tbh i think they’d have him up earlier than that if it weren’t for that. Tbh i also think the Phillies are stubborn so they’ll give marsh and bohm more than 10 games. Even though marsh has been bad since July and a .238 hitter since beginning of may last year with a unimpressive OBP and OPS

When you go look around major-league baseball and guys traded in the last 5 years who were top 100 prospects, they almost never go for a player you had to fix and develop. On top of trading a top 100 prospect, he was a catching prospect with tremendous offensive upside. In a league that’s desperate for hitting catchers. You should have gotten way more just for his potential upside than what they got. Especially when the angels were basically giving up on him a year and a half after being their top prospect. That should’ve been a major red flag, which I said at the time. They rushed it because they wanted a better outfielder at the time than what they had. So they traded him away knowing he was never going to overtake Jt. But they could’ve either gotten a better and more proven OF or waited until the off-season to make that move.

Can’t be paying a pure DH that kind of coin. He’d be making more per year than Harper which wouldn’t sit well IMO.
April 10, 20251 yr I'm good with re-signing Schwarber. Hopefully he doesn't want some stupid 7 year deal. 3 or 4 years would be good because at that time, Bryce's days in the field could possibly be over and then he could slide into the DH spot for the rest of his contract.
April 10, 20251 yr Just now, Blazehound said: I’d walk away in that case if he’s looking for that much or that many years. Can’t be paying a pure DH that kind of coin. He’d be making more per year than Harper which wouldn’t sit well IMO. Tbh it’s about when you hit the market. There’s more money now. It’s why harper never should’ve signed a 13 year deal without a couple opt outs.

April 11, 20251 yr If Romano has a 1-2-3 inning and no one is up to see it, does it count? marsh, Bohm and Rojas are waste of roster spots right now.
