ridiculous walk rate. If he can maintain the walk rate, he'd only need to hit .250 to be useful (assuming he can play defense at all)..

I'd be good with that pick.


Hated Vogelbach as part of a Hamels trade but he'd be an excellent rule 5 pick. Could expect some Jon Singleton like major league numbers.

Good minor league record. Hurt a lot last year. Has fat hands.

Klentak on Ken Giles: "we're trying to add players like Ken Giles, we're not trying to subtract. That's the type of player every team wants"


Oh, this guy is good.

"and if we can get two guys that are like Ken Giles for one Ken Giles, we're going to do that in the name of adding more Giles'"
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

In order to stand with the French I think we should also get all of the Gilles. Well, maybe not Gilles de Rais:

He is best known for his reputation and later conviction as a confessed serial killer of children.

Just have to make sure we get more Giles and not more Gillies. We've had a Giles and a Gillies and more Giles will help with the rebuild, more Gillies will be like all of this falling on deaf ears.

Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst 6m6 minutes ago
Phillies downplaying possibility of trading Ken Giles. But teams that have spoken with them expect him to be dealt this winter or in July

what's the idea behind trading Giles? why would a team theoretically give us superior young players?

"Selling high". It's a chance for teams to get a young 100-mph closer under control for 4+ years at a whole lot less than $10M/yr, and the Phils can (hopefully) take advantage of the league-wide demand for bullpen help since they probably won't need a closer that often for the next two years

He's cheap in terms of salary and young. So a team that is getting close to its max payroll, or wanting to allocate assets in another area could theoretically want to trade prospects for Giles. Also since he's young, you are still likely to get his most productive years at under market value.

just seems like they'd have to give up a really sure-fire prospect for it to be worth it for us and no one does that

Yeah, it doesn't make sense as a trade for me, bc nobody is going to be able to give full value for him (a really young, really controllable player that has already had success)
