MLB Insider says Velez “needs” to target a soccer player on the deadline on the deadline for trade
MLB Insider says Phillies “strongly needs” to target the football player on the deadline for the deadline for trade on Athlon SPORTS.
Philadelphia Velez has faced problems abroad during the past few seasons. Whether there is no crime or bad defense, external sites have always been in a recent flow.
according to Bob Nightingale of Usa TodayPhillies has a clear area of need in the external stadium, in the form of a right -wing racket to the family in the left field or central.
“… they strongly need a football player on the deadline on the deadline.” Nightingale books. “The left of the left field, 178, is 278 of the current righteousness against the left archers this year, as their field players reached 235.
Phillies has four external players in the middle field and the left field at the present time. Max Kepler and Brandon Marsh are the left -wing hikers, and while Marsh has been strong in recent times (833 OPS since June 1), Kepler (.
Johann Rojas has struggled throughout the year, with 574 OPS in the season. Otto Kemp was well with. In general, as Nightingale notes, external players struggle with Velez against the left archers.
Because of Price Harper and Kyle Schwarber, the best two fierce, both of them are left, and Velez is likely to see a lot of left promotion this season. The presence of two sites in the squad that struggles against the leftists is not great.
On this year’s commercial deadline, the landing of a football player is either to a group with Kepler or Marsh, a great priority. Among the external spots, Kepler is the most likely to change it.
Between his struggles this season and his complaints about the time of play and his misinformation in a season, it seems that finding a substitute for him is the best solution to this issue.
Regardless of the type of player targeting Velez, they need to add a football player right -hand. Adhere to the Marsh, Rojas, Kepler, and Kembe abroad is not perfect.
Nightingale says Phillies strongly needs “a right -wing soccer player. With how external players are fighting against the left promotion this season, it is clear that the team needs to be changed.
