Marcus Mariota (Tennessee): I started following the Phillies thinking I'd be a Philadelphia native. I know it's early but who would you take with the #1 pick today?

Josh Norris: I’d take you, Marcus, I’ll always take you. But since you’re not draft-eligible and I have no idea the last time you even tried at baseball, I’d probably go for somebody like Oklahoma RHP Alec Hansen, or Florida LHP A.J. Puk. A guy who really impressed me in the brief time I saw him at Team USA was Georgia RHP Robert Tyler. June is a long way away though, and by then, Marcus, you and Chip Kelly might be reunited.

I'm asking a question next chat as Mike Constanzo.

"thinking I'd be a Philadelphia native"

Just connecting the dots but maybe he just isn't quite right?

I want to move San Diego and be a San Diego native.

Klentak, as GM meetings near: 'Our focus is on pitching' #Phillies

Klentak: Howard, Ruiz 'definitely' fit into #phillies 2016 plans.

Well, yeah, they're on the books.

Harrison is the only other player on the roster making over $1M. holy crap

Says "we're a sleeping giant" -- committed ownership, great fan base, great players in the system already

Says being disciplined and building a foundation through the draft, international signings and trades for prospects is what sustains long-term success like the Cardinals, Red Sox, Dodgers, Angels, etc., then you add a piece or two in FA

Says this was a desired job in the industry when Roob was let go

Says Howard is "a franchise icon", will meet with him and his agents in Florida to see what Ryan wants to do for 2016, says he has no problem keeping and playing Howard, says he's meant too much to this franchise to treat him like crap (and he's aware of what happened last year)

Strict platoon and he can be O.K I guess.

by **BigEd76** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 18:26:54

With all the younger GMs in the league, says it depends on what direction each franchise wants to go in

Says we'll be active this offseason but will stay disciplined and won't compromise the core

Says when the core makes the jump and shows they're ready to compete like a Tampa Bay, KC, Houston, Chicago did, that's what decides how long a rebuild will take

Says he has no preference between drafting college or high school ("I want the best major leaguer") then explains why it's better to draft college because they're 3-4 more years developed/polished

Says Victorino filled him in on everything he needed to know about Phillies fans ("very passionate")

Says he hasn't been booed yet :-D

Says he won't get a Twitter account

Says Trout is the best player in the game

by **Monkeyboy** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 18:27:55

He's saying the right things. Good start!

by **BigEd76** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 18:29:02

Barkann finishes with "when are you gonna get Trout?" ffs

by **Monkeyboy** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 19:08:47

who can resist an invitation to tamper?

by **Bill McNeal** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 19:12:59

Barkann is that annoying uncle who asks me every time I see him if the bank is giving a free money today

by **CalvinBall** » Thu Nov 05, 2015 20:29:25

He gave me a ride in his tesla once.
