Oh yeah, fellow my seat welcome to talking baseball team profile and projections brought to you by draft Kings and today we are doing

the Philadelphia Phillies how about that our audience ranked them as the 14th ranked team which puts them in the upper half of MLB last year they finished with the losing record for the eighth season in a row they had seven hitters with with above average stats they had three starting pictures with the above average stats but they had the worst bullpen in organized baseball.

Jake did they change anything. Hey years in a row with a losing record fillies let's go Jim they lost Jake are you to the Cubs they lost Brandon workman to the Cubs David Phelps Victor Arano J Bruce trying out for the Yankees David Robinson and Jose Alvarez still unsigned as we record this I should say they did add Archie Bradley to help with some of those bullpen clowns.

That's all right host of a John Martin podcast Jose Alvarado he'll be back there to chase Anderson and Matt Moore a couple interesting ads to help with the pitching of course real Muto came back in free agency that was kind of the big big question mark for them don't sleep on Brandon

cancel Tony Watson to a couple veterans that can still get you out so again the reworked bullpen what does that mean Trev I know it still means they got a nice lineup though you know I love this lineup I've had a lot of beers with this lineup so they do hold a special place in my heart

sign J T sign J T that's all we heard coming out of Philly from Bryce and everybody else me included I consider myself a Philly guy still they got their guy as we're recording this he's hurt

but he'll be there for the season he'll be behind the plate catching everybody first base we got our guy Reese Hoskins top five prettiest swings and baseball in my opinion

second base Gene Segera short stop D D Gregorius third base young stud Alec bomb left field Andrew McCutcheon him and I shared Halloween costumes one year back in 2007 no big deal center

field this is where we don't know they got Roman Quinn they got a house Lee and they got King or yeah so we're going to see how this all works

out and then in right field of course we got the man who got paid Bryce with the why Roman right field out there he can be himself in Philly he said Jim

what is going on with that rotation it's a little bit more of the same you have no you have Wheeler you have

Eflin they had those three guys last year Vince the last squares comes back he's been there for a while they picked up Matt Moore who

was pitching over in Japan is that Tampa Bay raise Matt Moore how old is he he's I think he's early 30s he injury riddled career and he kind of

like found it last year so he's coming back he's come back yeah wow be a lefty kids they got Chase Anderson Spencer Howard are

they're excited about and the bullpen Jake said a lot of this Archie Bradley is good actor Naris Jose Alvarado

Brandon Kinsler a needed bullpen help a slide ups good I mean I think that's where we start the lineup is really good I like it I

think it's I want to stop doing this but it's in my head it's in my head are these the cubs just with one more

starting pitcher I think they're more complete team yeah I like that yeah I like them line ups are similar I

could see how you could make that jump line up to lineup but I think this a little bit more complete team okay the vibes

much different vibes different I came out this is this team is a serious contender they can be a serious contender

am I going to walk that back on this episode maybe a shirt a tad bit I think they're close like you said Jim

everything was good last year except for the bullpen I think they've addressed it enough for it's not going
