2022 Phillies Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
His injuries are starting to be a concern. I would hate to see a talent like that go to waste.
Wow, Freddy Freeman leaving Atlanta? That’s big, the end of an era. He and the Braves had a great run together.
Dodgers are definitely the heavy favorite there, no question about that.
Also: Hello to all you fellow Phillies and baseball fans! Looking forward to another summer of torture. Hopefully they don't set the blown saves record two years running.
Yes. Won’t miss him, at all, assuming he leaves the division as expected.
I know Harper wanted his buddy here but give me KK and Nick/Schwarber in the outfield and I’ll roll. I suspect it’s Schwarber since he’d hit leadoff.
It’s been too long. Looking forward to being back where I belong. Behind the dish on Saturday but it’s supposed to dicey weather Sat here inClearwater.
Enjoy! Definitely want to get down to spring training again. Was too hard to plan this year but maybe not. It’s a blast.
McCutchen signing with Brewers

Bryant? I’d take that. That final move - with the NL DH - gives the look of an upgraded roster overall.
I much prefer signing Bryant over the others. Still solid offensively and gives them more flexibility defensively. He can play 3rd (and I assume 1st), as well as all 3 OF positions. AND and he doesn't cost draft pick compensation like Castellanos and Schwarber would.
As for Familia and Hand, certainly no worse than Bradley and Neris. Neris got more $ and he seems to fall into the same routine each year. Counted on to be the closer, blows a bunch of games, gets taken out of that role, gets back on track and then solid after the team is out of contention. Hangs the splitter too much to be dependable as a closer.

I can see why they would be hesitant. Wonderful fielder. Not sold on his bat, personally.
I am scarred by what I watched of him last year. Here's hoping for better health and a better summer for this guy. Will believe it when I see it.
I wish. I think we're down to like $11 million or so after Schwarber, pretax. I love that he's a lefty. Phils need a solid left handed bat. Harper is really the only one aside from Didi, which as we all know, he may not even be in the lineup with Stott moving up
Actually, I think Stott is a lefty, too, so that's good. Still, they need proven left handed bats.
