Here’s a new Phillies Discussion.
The trade deadline spawned almost 400 comments this week.
One thing I need to stress and I’m sure that most of you realize this when post-trade deadline anger subsides. The Phillies tried.
The Phillies were in on more than the two major league and two minor league trades that were reported this week. They were in on hundreds of deals of various iterations during the days, hours, and minutes leading up to the deadline. (By various iterations I mean player A for Player B or Player A for players B and C, or Players A and D for Player E, or Player F for Players B and C, …)
That the Phillies didn’t trade for a player you wanted doesn’t mean they weren’t in on that player. That the player package that a team accepted for a player you wanted seemed to be a deal the Phillies could have matched or bettered doesn’t make it so. (Remember, most evaluators don’t give the Phillies high marks for their prospects, so our guys probably don’t match up well when we compare prospect rankings.) Sometimes the players the team wanted from the Phillies might have been far superior to the players the Phillies were willing to pay. Sometimes another GM might just not like the Phillies. And sometimes not agreeing to lift a no-trade clause actually means the player is not willing to approve a trade. Even to a team with an aging roster competing for one of the final two wild cards.
It’s one thing to wish the Phillies could have made trades for players you wanted. It’s another thing to think they didn’t try and make trades for those players.
Oh, and thank you to the guys who policed that horrible comment. I appreciate that you took the matter into your hands to educate that commenter. I deleted the comment when I saw it. Unfortunately, comments have a mother/daughter relationship and when I deleted the comment, it also removed your comments. Thank you again for your efforts to keep the section respectable. (I wanted to “appropriate” but am unsure that the word doesn’t have a connotation nowadays that I don’t want to introduce into the discussion.)

Romus. When the Phillies and Dodgers played few weeks ago the Dodgers led in double plays by a large number. Last I looked one usually needs to hit the ball for a GIDP. Lots of Phillies guys just take the stride back to the dugout with their bat on the shoulder.
Guys that are not speed guys who hit the ball will hit into more DPs if the team has guys who get on ahead of them. Maybe why Phillies only rank 18th.

It will take time. Guys that play out there all the time make worse throws. He will be ok. I am sure he is not going to run into the wall anymore if he can help it. He did that some back in the younger days.

I’m not criticizing Harper. He volunteered to move out to RF for the good of the team. I give him a lot of credit for that.
And if they want me to believe that the they never thought of asking Turner to move to the outfield, fine. But he should have at least gone to management and asked if there was anything he could do to help the team. We know he didn’t because they would certainly have mentioned that when they were getting pummeled with questions. (Okay, we don’t really know.)
Back to Harper. I have observed that he looks tentative on balls over his head and close to the wall. I have counted 3 or 4 (maybe more?) balls that most of our recent right fielders would have caught. Even Castellano would have made those catches.
But, Harper moved to make room for a new player. And he did it without the reps he would need to get back up to speed. I will always give him credit for his commitment to the team. That will be my mantra every time he has to go back for a ball.
LikeLike
He may have some Bobby Abreu tendencies out there……fear of the cyclone fencing it appears.

He had issues in the past when going back to the wall. He actually missed a few back in the day when he was in RF. So I was plenty happy when they moved him to 1B.
Now that he’s back in RF for the rest of the season, he looks really tentative going near the wall, his speed is not great, and now he doesn’t have the arm strength to scare anybody. But hey, he volunteered (which I give him credit for) but this is a classic case of be careful what you wish for. He’s easily top 5 worst defensive RF in baseball.

I don’t really get the Phillies thinking here, why move Harper to RF for Bohm? Bohm can’t hit RHP this year, he’s got a .221 ave, .329 slug and a .617 OPS. He is better vs LHP with a .233 ave, .426 slug and a .699 OPS but why not keep Harper at 1B and move Bohm to the bench, put De La Cruz in RF and if he struggles put Hill in there.

Makes sense……seems they want to acquiescence to Bohm.

Romus. Just me but I think Bohm was the last piece in the 4-position move. One thing that does bother me is that DeLaCruz was doing well and now he sits. By the time someone in the analytical area realizes that he will be cooled off. He should play somewhere at this time. They are not going to shuffle Harper back and forth from RF to 1B. Not going to happen at this stage. Plus, DeLaCruz appears to be an adequate defensive guy in the OF. No analytics, just the eyeball test.
As I have mentioned to Romus and Ruff, I would like to see a different batting order, but it is pretty clear that is not going to happen. My order might have had the ball hit somewhere to add a run rather than 3 Ks in a row.

I posted in the last thread that Harper should be on first and that Stott and Bohm should platoon at third. Stott struggles against lefties and Bohm does the same versus righties.
This would leave DeLaCruz to play daily in RF. They had Garcia playing there every day until his injury and he didn’t hit a lick. DeLaCruz won’t match his defense but will hit better.
LikeLike
I wouldn’t assume that DLC will continue to hit better than Garcia. Reyes and Rincones proved that it can, in fact, be worse.
That said, DLC has certainly played well enough to earn MORE playing time. Is he a long term solution? Probably not. But he’s a better one than we had before him.
As for a Stott and Bohm platoon, there’s a couple problems there.
1) Stott actually has a reverse platoon split this year. Part of that can be attributed to how often he sits against the “good” lefties, but he’s putting up numbers when he plays.
2) Bohm doesn’t just struggle against righties, he struggles against EVERYONE. Not only is he hitting worse against lefties than Stott this year, he’s hitting worse against them than Stott EVER has.
3) We all know Bohm is a headcase. Do any of us really believe he could adapt to reduced playing time without sulking?
Honestly, I’d been advocating for them to just bench Bohm. But with number 3 in mind and realizing he’d probably play even WORSE coming off the bench, we should just cut our losses and release him.

For the crew that believes defense is not important, Bohm’s defense in the 10th inning cost us the game tonight. If he makes the right play on Ernie Clement’s grounder, that’s the second out and Giminez’s sac fly is just a fly out for the last out of the inning. We go to bottom of 10th tied 4-4. Arraez’s sac fly wins it.
Clement’s hit went down as an infield single but it was a terrible defensive play by Bohm and it cost us a game.

When the Phillies drafted Bohm #4 overall, many of us expected the team had finally found the 3Bman to replace Schmidt. We figured he’d be a middle of the order bat that would eventually hit for power and play a slightly better than average third base. Obviously, that did not transpire.
At the same time, I cannot totally blame him for that play last night. The tendency for infielders is to first look to throw to second base on a grounder to keep the force in order. Bohm took too long to realize he had no play at second and therefore couldn’t get an out anywhere.
Be that as it may, but I have to give Bohm credit for saving a couple of Stott throws to first base from being errors. The scoops he made on those throws were as much as you can ask from any first baseman. I’ve said/written my opinions so go ahead and pile on. I expect nothing less than that.
LikeLike
One of those plays was a great scoop. The other one was routine — Stott bounced the throw on purpose, as McCarthy and Kruk discussed.
Not getting the out at first on the slow roller just shows a complete lack of baseball IQ. There was never a chance to get an out at second or third on a ball hit that softly.
LikeLike
This isn’t little league. This is the big boy league and the expectations is to win a championship. You don’t get points for good plays and a free pass on terrible plays. The expectation is to make all of the plays.
That said, I don’t blame Bohm either…I blame DD’s roster construction. Bohm has been a terrible defender his entire career. His draft report questioned his defense. For the longest time on this blog I pounded the table to get rid of Bohm and replace him with Chapman.
But it is not his fault, nor is it Stott’s fault that he is being moved mid season. It is poor roster management. That is 100% on DD.
