They still have Phil Klein,

Needs correction: Ben Lively is a RHP, not a LHP.

That’s what I get for relying on the Phillies’ announcement.

Phillies are horrible at letting young talent come up and just play. They wait way too long to give youth a chance. Aka Ryan Howard, Darren Ruf, Carlos Carrasco, etc.

That has long been a problem of the Phillies, which hopefully is changing. They wait so long for young players to be “ready” that they end up killing their confidence. It’s happened with so many players in the past, hopefully it doesn’t happen in the future. I understood why they didn’t bring up Crawford in September (doing so would have meant he’d have to be included on the 40 man roster when at this point he doesn’t), but he should be up sooner rather than later. Same with a lot of other guys. They seem to want to build an organization of established AAA players. If they had Mike Trout he’d likely have just finished his first full season of AAA, and might have an invitation to ST next year.

They traded Carlos Carrasco for Cliff Lee… I think that trade worked out pretty well! Carrasco was, at one point, DFA’d by the Indians. He was a late bloomer.
Not every young player comes up and performs like Corey Seager, some take longer to develop. I’d expect to see a bunch of these guys play this year.

Turned it up to 11

Will Appel make his long-awaited debut in 2017?

They can still make moves. Klien and Mariot could (should) be easily bumped from the 40 man and no tears will be shed.

Ditto Cody Asche.

Buchanan seems like a perfect fit for the Padres. Competent innings eater and won’t cost them anything.
