The Phillies signed first baseman Seth Beer and assigned him to Double-A Reading earlier this week. The deal was announced by the Atlantic League’s Long Island Ducks, with which the former first-round pick had spent the past month.
Beer, 28, signed with the Ducks during the second week of April. He appeared in 14 games, hitting .239/.426/.565 with four homers and three doubles. He worked 12 walks but struck out 16 times in 61 plate appearances. Beer’s combination of plate discipline and power impressed the Phillies enough to get him another opportunity in affiliated ball.
A Clemson product, Beer was the 28th overall pick by the Astros in the 2018 draft. Houston traded him to the D-Backs as part of the Zack Greinke blockbuster. Beer appeared in 43 games for the Snakes between 2021-22, hitting .208/.294/.292 over 43 games. He spent last season in the Pittsburgh farm system. The lefty hitter divided his time between the top two minor league levels, putting up a .277/.354/.431 slash over a combined 99 games. While he has yet to get much of a look in the majors, Beer brings a career .278/.376/.475 minor league batting line to the Philadelphia organization.
Cheers!
Prost!
Brewers just make sense for this guy
if i played for philly i would also drink myself silly to be honest
@number ones layer fan,
Based on your lack of capitalization, punctuation, and general grammar; we’re thinking you’ve already begun drinking yourself to death.
Bart, I don’t care to type like I am writing one of my MANY research papers in this comment section.
Okay numbero, I’ll give you that. But you also don’t have to be d¡ck about the Phillies or their fans.
Careful they’ll throw snowballs at you they booed Santa
Is that really all you people still have?
Sadly it is, it’s old, tired and none of them were there. Neither were guys in media like Skip Bayless that bangs that drum when they want to bash Philadelphia. But that’s ok, nothing truly horrible ever happened in other cities like Oakland, or San Fran or Indianapolis. Besides Santa is t real. It was actually a fill in Santa that was a drunk off the street in the 1960s. What’s more egregious in modern time was the animal that threw up on the little girl at the Phillies game like 10 years ago. Beer was probably involved.
So it’s ok that they booed Santa even though he wasn’t the REAL Santa?!
@DDT,
You naughty boy. Careful, day drinking is a slippery slope.
He was a drunk Santa that’s why they booed him. He was giving out candy, ran out of candy half way around the stadium, gave a few choice gestures to the fans then got booed. True story.
He was a skinny, drunk guy in a dirty Santa costume in 1968. I believe he got over the booing long before the many snowflakes that still bring it up.
You couldn’t be more right and many of the snowflakes weren’t even around back then. They just live off the legend. Funny no one ever brings up the serious assaults and near death incidents at sporting events like those caused by Raiders fans. A woman was even assaulted in an incident. Where’s the outrage in that snowflakes?
Liberty’s defense: never happened and the Santa was drunk
“you people”
I mean…yeah. I’m sure the real Santa understood.
What’s wrong with saying “you people?” Seriously, I’d like to know
I, myself, would’ve gone with ‘yous’ or ‘yous guys’. It’s just personal preference.
When the dude from Houston in our group house in grad school would say all y’all we’d chime in, are you including you and your fleas?
Never felt like this guy got a fair shake. Hope he can make the most of this opportunity!
Double A will now be referred to as: Beer League.
Sounds like something Seth Rogan would market
Can he make it back from beer league to mlb?
I’d love to see him get fair shake in the MLB. Seth is a grinder like Dom Smith
The Phillies got Beer.
The guy working at the spring training stadium who shouts “beer, beer, beer, beer, beer” is super excited.
Ballantine beer sponsored the Phillies in the ‘50s and early’60s. Seth could have been a spokesman.
Man I need a …
His parents should have named him Cole Beer.
Hey Cole Beer! Even when he’s done playing his name would be heard in every ballpark.
The 60s were over roughly 60 years ago. No one here bringing up Santa was even alive then, and anyone at the game is no longer with us either. Do you people understand how stupid you sound bringing up booing Santa? It’s actually more stupid than Cowboy fans talking about rings from decades ago.
