I think Gennett is far better, but I realize I'm high on him.

Closest comp through age 26 was Gennett. Now it's Ken Caminiti. Hoping he doesn't maintain that through age 40.

our AAA team is going to p0wn

Lol

Just trolling pirates fans now.

There was a few players remaining of interest but Klentak hasn't found them yet.

signed 15 new players this offseason but it seems like we didn't do much

Per source, INF Neil Walker has agreed to a minor league deal with the Phillies. He will be in big-league camp.

I'm surprised he isn't retired

It's crazy how many former and future Phils were on the 2015 Pirates:

That's amazing. Pretty much the entire pitching staff, other than Cole.

What's crazier to me is that the Pirates won 98 games 5 years ago.

Rhys says he made some adjustments to his batting stance around Thanksgiving that'll make him more comfortable (lowered his hands, relaxed his arms/shoulders, slightly opened his stance)

must've been some cranberry sauce

best stance of his life

The best Phillies OPS+ seasons, 200 PA or more, since 2017

1. Rhys Hoskins, 2017
2. Bryce Harper, 2019
3. Hoskins, 2018
4. Aaron Altherr, 2017
5. Daniel Nava, 2017
6. Andrew McCutchen, 2019
7. Nick Williams, 2017
8. Hoskins, 2019
9. Cesar Hernandez, 2017
10. JT Realmuto, 2019

Hoskins led the Phillies in OPS this year until 8/15, when he got hit in the hand with a Pedro Strop pitch, and he hit .178/.315/.376 after that, in 178 PAs. It's really the only bad stretch of his career, and people are dying to write him off. Personally, I think we'll see 40+ homers from him this year.

Joakim Soria seems like he's destined to be a Phillie one day too. Probably a 2023 minor league deal and spring training invite.

Feel like he's our closer 2nd half of this year, if Seranthony needs TJ or some shit like that.

I don't disagree wit the thrust of your post, but I'm pretty sure he had a bad stretch or two in 2008. I think one of them was even around the same time in August/Sept.

Eh, I’m not going to hold a bad stretch of his sophomore year in legion ball against him
