I would just like to add, Parmelee is a bum. Not sense Fahey have I despised someone starting in the line up so much. He does not deserve to start over some of the guys we have. Not have I heard so much about picking at first base since Mark Reynolds. Pearce can field just as well over at first base and has a better bat plus has hit better in the past few months.

Stats past 30 days Avg OBP Slg OPS Pearce

.314 .351 .543 .894

Parm's last 30 days...

.183 .197 .317 .513

Wow, that is quite a statement, for a guy who has played all of 30 games or so with an OPS .735. These guys didn't bother you?

- Josh Bell, .525 OPS in 53 games in 2010.

- Garret Atkins, .562 OPS in 44 games in 2010

- Julio Lugo, .581 OPS in 93 games in 2010.

- Felix Pie, .545 OPS in 85 games in 2011.

- Endy Chavez, .515 OPS in 64 games in 2012.

I've left off some guys who had bad years (like these, more than 100 AB with an OPS below .600) who had been better in other years or who had some redeeming quality.

No Bell was a prospect who we were trying to see what we had. Sometimes they struggle and in 2010 we were not going anywhere.

Garret Atkins was a reclamation project they tried and failed again the year was 2010.

I liked Lugo.

Pie see Lugo.

Chavez was one I thought never belonged but he was relegated.

Now I don't want you to attack my reasoning for not hating most of these and try to construe an argument out of that.

Here are the facts.

Pearce has out hit Parmelee last year and is out hitting him this year. Pearce is just as good at defense as Parmelee. A few other back ups have out hit Parmelee so far on the season yet he keeps getting starts. It is annoying to see him in the line up. He has about 1000 at bats in the majors with a 700 ops. He does not belong starting at first base. Specifically if you have playoff hopes, now if Hardy was hitting well and/or Wieters was mashing and left field has not been a hole then we could talk. There is to many holes in the line up to have a weak hitting first base.

That is not a fact at all.

Pearce: .227/.290/.392/.682

Parmelee: .230/.264/.471/.735

Now, in another thread, I argued in favor of more playing time for Pearce. But that was based on how he has hit in his last 19 games, not on how he has hit overall this season.

No, you just need to change your argument to "Pearce is outhitting Parmelee over the last 30 days" (which is true) from "Pearce is outhitting Parmelee this year" (which is false). I always find arguments citing "facts" that are false to be unconvincing.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
