Tired of seeing Marsh out there too, wish they could get rid of that bum.Marshy and Kepler are fringe major league players at this point. I am convinced Crawford couldn’t be worse.

May 18, 20251 yr This team is going nowhere. Offense sucks, #2 starter blows so bad they had to fake an injury to get him out of the rotation, and now probably their best bullpen guy busted for doing PEDs.

Thanks Jose.The fact they went into the season relying on him to begin with was somewhat troubling. He was coming off a 2024 that wasn’t good. They were fortunate he was as good as he has been this year. And now need a high leverage LHP reliever and another reliever in general. You are always better off spending in FA and having more RP then waiting til the deadline to make those acquisitions.

Just hope DD doesn't just send him down to rot if he pitches great today. Not sure how the Alvarado situation affects the starters and relievers... Walker could stay in the pen for a bit.

Id trade him for a minor league bat who is a nice prospect, but I wouldn’t trade him for some 30 year old bullpen arm.I look at it this way, I think even before the Alvarado news came out, they were showcasing him. When you look at the Phillies rotation going forward wheeler is here for at least two more years. Luzardo is here and they’re probably gonna give him a massive extension. You have Christopher Sanchez. Nola is not going anywhere whether we like it or not. And you have painter coming up. There’s really no room for Abel in the rotation.Then you got a factor in that they purposely put him out there against the Pirates. They know the Pirates are not a very good hitting team. So there’s a chance he was going to look good in the start where he’s already looked good in the minors this year after being off the radar the last couple. Try to trade him at a peak and a showcase game against the pirates. He’d be a main piece in a deadline deal.Not saying I would do it. I’d keep him cause eventually wheeler is retiring and you could have Luzardo, Sanchez, painter and Abel. Frankly, if I’m the Phillies and he looks good, I can move him into the rotation instead of Walker. And eventually, when you bring up Andrew painter, I can move Ranger Suarez to the bullpen. I think Ranger Suarez would be fine as a left-handed reliever. The problem is, I can’t imagine Ranger Suarez is going to be thrilled to be in the bullpen when he’s a free agent at the end of the year with boras as his agent. He wants to be paid like a starter. It’d be much easier for the Phillies to make that decision if they paid Ranger Suarez and he was already making good money because then he probably wouldn’t care as much as he got his contract and helped the team out for a year. then move him back into the rotation.

May 18, 20251 yr I’m surprised they got a run off Skenes now we need to get to their bullpen to score more runs
