Committing that kind of money and years wasn't just to buy out his Super-2 year--it was to play him and get him AB's somewhere pretty much every day. He is a very impressive kid, much like Hoskins in terms of maturity and baseball IQ. He will play a lot. And, think of all the flexibility he will give your roster! He is also a fine defensive player, good instincts. Granted, he must learn nuances of positions other than 2B, but he has covered them very well this spring. Kid is a comer. I was one reserve pick away from getting him in our draft this past Sunday, so I consoled myself by taking Sixto Sanchez instead.Bearin' up!

With Kingery up, they have 7 guys for 5 positions - Hoskins and Santana will play every day, and someone else will catch, but otherwise 2B, SS, 3B and 2 OF spots are up for grabs every day.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.

I love it despite owning Neris, but wow, he got the turn of the screw today. Swinging bunt single, bunt to second, shallow pop out from Albies, the obvious intentional walk (Freddie), and one bad pitch among about 15 of them costs him 3 ER and a loss. Such is the life of a closer.

Kapler must have got really PO'd at Velasquez. Went out to yank him in the third and motioned to the bullpen. Problem was, no one was warming up or had warmed up. Apparently Phil stalled to let Milner warm up (took longer than 2 minutes =TV time commercial) then Milner went to the mound and took his warmups. MLB rules state if you can't get to the mound within 2 minutes then you don't get your warm up pitches. Atl manager raised hell and got thrown out the game. Didn't really matter since Phil played the worst game I have ever seen, so many mistakes. Anyway thought it was funny the manager yanked the starting pitcher without realizing or knowing that no one was ready to take the mound.

write-up on projected plate appearances for the offense...
How can the Phillies get enough playing time for 9 starting-quality players in 7 spots? By doing exactly what they’re doing.
Code:NAME PA PA proj PA % OPS Cesar Hernandez 64 740 12% 0.853 Carlos Santana 63 729 12% 0.581 Rhys Hoskins 57 659 11% 1.055 Odubel Herrera 54 625 10% 0.817 Scott Kingery 54 625 10% 0.855 Maikel Franco 44 509 8% 0.769 Aaron Altherr 42 486 8% 0.464 J.P. Crawford 41 474 8% 0.620 Jorge Alfaro 36 417 7% 0.618 Nick Williams 35 405 7% 0.739 Andrew Knapp 24 278 5% 0.482 Pedro Florimon 10 116 2% 0.633

I had been leery about overpaying for Kingery. I thought our league would grossly overpay at auction, but in the end I got him for $14 which I felt good about.
Couple weeks in I feel even better. He's playing regularly and multi-position of course. Showing pop and speed. Kind of a young Zobrist (?) with a higher ceiling. I can't help but think that he also reminds me of Lenny Dykstra without the baggage.

Originally posted by scottw View PostNah, even w/o the baggage, Dykstra was nuts. This kid is remarkably mature and responsible. He is of similar build and hustles all the time, but that's about it. Kingery seems to have more talent by far.
Zobrist tho is a better comparison. I'm sure the Phils would be pleased with that type of career.
