  1. Maybe. But the front office seemed hesitant to use Kirk as the primary catcher even when Jansen was injured last season. He never caught more than 3-4 times per week
  2. Yeah the weight/body thing for Kirk probably isn’t a problem until he’s already a free agent. He’s slow as f*** but it is what it is. My question is can he play C more often and DH less. Because I believe we’ll need that DH spot to keep guys like Springer/Teo/Lourdes/Vlad/etc in the lineup like we did in 2022
  3. And for the record, i’m not married to the idea of trading Kirk. A Jansen or Moreno trade could make sense too. Hell I would be all for trading ANYONE on the team if the return is good and if Ross can construct a better roster as a result. The team as-is relies too heavily on RH power bats, a lot of high K guys. The rotation is top heavy. Bullpen is mediocre. Lots of ways to improve the pitching staff and diversify the lineup.
  4. You said yourself, Moreno projects for 4.3 WAR over 130 games. He doesn’t reach that if Kirk and Jansen are both still on the team. Ideal scenario is to trade Kirk to free up the C/DH spot. For a SP would probably make sense. Teo/Springer/Lourdes/LHH acquisition to rotate the DH spot. Its really not difficult to understand.
  5. Your brain is so small you fail to comprehend that since Jansen has worse projections (AND less control) he will bring back far less in a potential trade.
  6. This is a ridiculous take IMO. Jays were winning 8-1. Gausman was dealing with the finger issue. You need him for future games. He looked shaky that inning. Nearing 100 pitches. Plenty of reasons to go to the pen. The mistake was using Mayza there. But also if he gave up a flyout at the warning track instead of a homer barely clearing the fence, then nobody cares.
  7. What in the f***
  8. If he leaves Wheeler in and Yordan hits a bomb, then everyone is complaining that he didn’t go to the pen. Its a lose-lose situation. Who knows if Wheeler would have got the job done
  9. Arb 1 is never that high. Bichette is arb 1 and Vlad is arb 2, that’s why his is so much higher
  10. That’s nuts. This contract has a high likelihood of turning out like the Chapman contract IMO. Good for a couple years then meh/overpaid/afwul for latter half
  11. Im retarded for saying I don’t like when a batter goes up to the plate specifically trying to get hit by a pitch? Sure then I guess im retarded
  12. Lol nah he was holding his young daughter on the stage there
  13. Yeah I hate it. Rizzo, Guyer, a few other guys that are notorious for doing this. Its garbage IMO. Ball can be like an inch off the plate and hit the batter. Really shouldn’t be legal
  14. Maldonado postgame interview pretty much admitted he stood as close to the plate as possible to try and get hit. Really don’t like that, but whatev.
  15. The better team won. Kudos. Couple bad breaks for the Phillies tonight. Next up, WBC 2023
  16. Lol yeah now THIS is the Phillies pen I know. Alvarado crapping the bed 2 games in a row… RIP
