meh. 5 hr in 256 pa for a guy who is all about the power and plays in a hitter's park. high babip so far. shitty defender anywhere on the field. plus his contract would not have been beneficial to the Phillies.

I think you're being a bit hard on the kid. He's got the 3rd highest wOBA among rookies and 60th best OPS for all major leaguers with at least 250 PA and his defense now that he's playing RF hasn't been too bad. He's a rookie and playing outside his own country for the first time in his life.

maybe. doesn't move the needle for this team for the next few years though. sign him and he's good, he opts out as the team gets good. sign him and he sucks, stuck paying him for six years. no problem passing on him this offseason.

i've found people like him get promoted or shuffled around until they get put in a job where they can no longer do harm. they rarely get fired.

Or they move over to a management position in state government. I wish I were joking...

We're not going to get good until 2021? Dear God, help us all.

Tomas has an opt out after the fourth year, so 2019, but really if we hit on our recent drafts I'd say 2018 is the first year we could be decent again

In 2017, we will be exciting if not good.

Actually, if they can pull off a decent Hamels trade (not that I'm counting on it) and with, Nola, Crawford a possibility next year, maybe Quinn, 2016 could be a fun, hopeful year.

He's listed at 255 lbs. Not sure he'll age well. Will be a cool guy to follow though.

Not on the chow line
