any chance they are trying to add value to hoskins to trade him? If he shows he cal play a passable LF, he might have more value. We have several other guys who could play 1B (cozens, TJ, etc). Maybe some other team is asking about him as part of a bigger deal.

omg trout

This is something you do in the offseason. He's average at best at first to begin with.

Zero percent chance he plays a game in the of next year. Just doing this to get him some abs faster.

i was just struggling to make a very bad idea somewhat less bad idea. He has to adjust to major league pitching and new position... this is a head scratcher. I agree lf isn't in his future and I think it's a very bad idea to get his at bats.

Yeah it's kinda silly to have him try another position in August just to get him some ML ABs in September

This PhillyVoice headline regarding Hoskins, "With Tommy Joseph blocking him at first..."

Really?

What is this nonsense?

What happened to Altherr ? I missed it ...

I believe it's his hamstring.

When is doing yoga and pilates type training going to be standard for all professional sports - I think they'd cut way down on injuries and issues that involve flexibility and over developing with weights -

You want Tae kwon do, not Yoga and pilates

knapp to the dl, eflin up and will start tonight.

i thought he was already on the DL

Inky mentioned Hoskins could be called up as early as Thursday to play LF.

Hosmer, Santana, LoMo, Alonso, Duda, Moreland, Reynolds and Napoli will all be FA this off-season. Trading him before the Aug deadline seems unlikely. Trading him in the off-season seems impossible.

Knapp's hand has a small fracture so he'll be out a few weeks.

Yep. He's Chris Carter with fewer HR. He has a negative WAR. #freehoskins

I don't quite understand the Rhys Hoskins to left move. The little that I've seen of his defense at first, he's better than Joseph so why not move Joseph to left? I don't get it.

Sticking with Joseph for the fuck of it really is a horrible idea.

Gotta stick with the grizzled vets.
