OT: Philadelphia Phillies: Sometimes Ball Go Boom And Sometimes It Don’t (NL Champs)

[SolidSnakeUS]

Swanson pretty easily.

I assume he'd cost much more than Turner?

Nooooo.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Nooooo.

Would Swanson be the better grab or do you think the pull of Harper would bring in Turner?

Also, while I know he's been rising up the rankings like crazy, do you see Painter being a starter next year?

I am very high on Turner. He is possibly a top 15 player in the entire league. You get him and don’t think twice about it if they are open to the idea. That isn’t to say that Dansby isn’t a very good player in his own right.

I think Painter will be on the big club at some point next year.

 

[Beef Invictus]

This ungrateful swine

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Who's the best fielder among UFA

Swanson >> Simmons > Correa > Andrus >> Iglesias > Turner >> Bogaerts

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Considering the price of everybody, especially if we try to go for Turner, would Rodon be out of the question? Or do you think his ERA improvement over the last 2 seasons won't really hold?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Around the deadline Salisbury said internally the Phillies think Painter, Abel, & McGarry could all pitch for them at some point next year.

I will say this about the Phillies, at least as of late, at least they play the kids, unlike some other Philly team we know...

I thought Xander was an excellent fielder? Am I getting confused? I'm always confused.

Could have sworn he was a red outs above average in baseballsavant

 

[Chinatown88]

Swanson >> Simmons > Correa > Andrus >> Iglesias > Turner >> Bogaerts

He was on my fantasy baseball team 10 plus years ago when he was breaking in. Helped me with stolen bases in a roto league.

-8 OAA over the last 3 seasons at SS. Terrible going to his right.

He was positive last year, so you’re not wrong. I just like a larger sample.

Can confirm. My cousin in law who is a Hawkeyes fan is also a Red Sox fan. Says he likes Xander but his fielding does leave a bit to be desired.

There I go being a f***ing asshole again. I didn't realize the "at a glance percentiles" were only for the most recent season

What I'm finding craziest about all this is how 5 OAA is good for 89th percentile. Wonder how that compares to other positions. If I have time tonight I'll look into that. I'm curious, especially knowing shortstop is hard

 

[trostol]

Turner or Swanson would be a good get

Would Bogaerts be a better fit at 3B at this point?

Who do you want?

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Thomper getting boned

 

[BigToe]

Can we only get one of the big FA’s or multiple? I’m invested.

We can get as many as Middleton will pay for ::

 

[wankstifier]

Just leave enough room for Babe Murakami

If we could somehow pull that off, being on the east coast, that would be f***ing stellar. Having him at 1st base and that kind of power would be amazing.

Swanson >> Simmons > Correa > Andrus >> Iglesias > Turner >> Bogaerts

I've been reading Correa was actually kinda bad defensively this year, his metrics took a huge hit, he's regressed. That worries me a bit. Turner is an incredible athlete which goes to show how much he cares about his fitness, he's like the fastest sprinter in the mlb or something I read. If I'm going to invest in a guy it would be in someone like that, since all these guys are around 30.

As a braves fan that’s watched Dansby since he came up, he’d be hated in philly in less than a year. Had his best season in his walk year so he’s going to get massively overpaid and he’s insanely streaky. He will hit .350 one month with like 8 homers then the next month he will hit .200 with like 50 k’s(exaggerating). He was awful down the stretch this season outside of the series vs the Mets to clinch the division. Great defender most of the time but he also goes through peaks and valleys there as well. If he’s getting 30 mil a year I want the braves to stay far away fwiw.
