Something that I find interesting...
Since the acquisition of Luis Arraez here's how the Phillies rank in these three team offensive categories:
1st in walk rate
2nd in OBP
29th in K rate
It hasn't always led to runs but hopefully the more ducks you have on the pond, the more they'll eventually score runs on a more consistent basis.
Good signs, hopefully they can keep it up.
Kody Clemens would have the 6th highest fWAR on the 2026 Phillies, ahead of players including Bryce Harper, Brandon Marsh, and Trea Turner.
Dave Dombrowski traded him last year for cash considerations.
@ZacharyFast2@BaseballWRLD_ Marsh has a higher AVG, OBP, SLG, and OPS, and not by minuscule margins. OPS+ can offer helpful context, but when did real results become subordinate to abstract metrics?
@ZacharyFast2@BaseballWRLD_ Harris is a more valuable defender, but essentially equal offense? Did you look at the numbers side-by-side? Marsh clears in nearly every category.
