Not that it matters this year but Schwarber is also a stud in the playoffs.

If you had told me opening day that Meyers would be batting cleanup on June 4 I would assume our record was like 27-34 or something

In his early 2024 MLB Trade Deadline Preview, Jeff Passan says the Phillies will be all over the outfield market and links them to Luis Robert, Randy Arozarena, and Kyle Tucker 👀 pic.twitter.com/qxaBbTt4GL

Give us these 5 and maybe we can talk.

---

Ha. Painter, Caba and Miller are musts but the issue with them is outside Painter all their guys are a few years away. You'd really have to commit to a rebuild and I just don't see that happening. Maybe if we get Schwarber back to help with the loss of Tucker's bat it could work.

---

Schwarber would not be an upgrade over anyone on this team except Abreu.

---

As a hitter, he's better than everyone but Altuve, Yordan and Tucker. Meyers has been better this year but I'd give the track record to Schwarber. Bizarrely for a slow guy he's actually an above average baserunner.

Really the question is if you think he can play 1B (sucked there in his last experiment with the Sox) or Yordan can be an everyday LF.

He has a career average of .227 with 25 HR/year, and 58 RBI/year. We can agree to disagree about him being better than everyone outside of those 3. Statistically Schwarber is the modern day Rob Deer.

I don't think they would but it wouldn't be all that crazy if they did.

Skenes' value will probably never be as high as it is right now and given the injury bug we're seeing nowadays and his violent mechanics it's probably just a matter of time before he's on the operating table.

I'd listen

---

I don't see his mechanics as being "violent." In fact, he looks really smooth and controlled for having the kind of velo he does. It helps being 6'6" 245.

Really moving the goal posts. With Philly he's had 2 years with 126 and 115 runs, 46 and 47 HR, 86 and 126 walks, and 94 and 104 RBI. before 2022, he had only 1 season with more than 500 at bats. Even in those limited opportunities, his career OPS is .827

---

He's also 32 and as others have stated here 27 is the optimum baseball age, so I'll take the under on him reaching any of those statistical totals this year and any year moving forward.

did y'all know he was an elite DH when he started college?

Kyle Tucker is sore and was still using crutches today to keep weight off his leg, Joe Espada said. Tucker was evaluated again by doctors and is still day-to-day, Espada said, but safe to assume he’s unavailable tonight.
