Rafael Ortega to Philly seems like a no brainer, right?

Ben Clemens

See, 'outfielder of choice to Philly' makes a ton of sense, but which outfielder is really up for debate. Benintendi, Ortega, Happ, Pham... the list goes on

Best shortstop currently excluding an injured Tatis?

Lindor!

Eh, that's probalby not right, he's my favorite to watch though

I think I'll take Bogaerts, Turner, Lindor in that order. No disrespect to Dansby Swanson or Tommy Edman, just, I value track record

James

So Cristian Javier just had one of the best outings of the year against the best team in the league, but is he even in the Astros' rotation when everyone is healthy?

Ben Clemens

3:01

I think he's probably not. It's really close. They have the luxury of using the rest of the year to figure out, but I really like Javier in a swing role

Apparently the answer of "which outfielder to Philly" is Oscar Mercado which... even as a depth option I wouldn't like. He's at least a good defender, I guess.

Ben Clemens

3:01

Yeah.... not into it

I like ike

What about Isaac paredes going forward. Definite pull power. Is there anything more besides that?

Ben Clemens

3:02

There's good bat control and plate discipline, too. His minor league walk and strikeout numbers are excellent

and he can fake defense at a few positoin

positions, yikes

3:03

Overall I think utility guy with pop and a decent OBP thanks to walks is a really valuable player, even if he's not going to show this much slug going forward

Alright, thanks everyone for your questions today, and sorry if I didn't get to yours; there were a ton today and I was trying to go as fast as I could but I didn't get to many

3:04

Let's do this again next Tuesday, July 5

Have a great week.
