Minor League Games - April 15th, 2025

[Squire]

If we're doing replacements its probably

1. Kemp for Bohm
2. Rincones for Kepler
3. Wilson to platoon with Kepler

Of course. Marsh is only 27, so shouldn't be in age decline, and for his total time in Philly has an OPS+ of 113. Of co course Kemp can beat that. Relax, it's just a slump for Marsh (unless he's playing through an injury). He's been our top OF over the past 3 seasons, although admittedly he's in a deep early-season hole, with -.7 WAR at mid-April.

Too bad there isn’t room on the roster to get Kemp up if for no other reason than to try to light a fire under these guys to have to worry about their jobs. Wilson replacing Rojas seems to be the only card they have to play.

[zambonir]

If they want Kemp instead of Wilson that's easy enough to do. But it would be Clemens who loses the major league spot, not Rojas, which also opens up the 40-man spot (I mean, yeah, they could option Rojas but then they aren't even carrying an actual 4th OF, nor one true CF. An equal part of Marsh's negative WAR so far this year is defense).

I think Wilson is back up next week. They need the bat and he is the one most likely to be better.

Kemp may be for real, but he needs a few months in AAA ball before you think about promoting him.
Same with Crawford and Rincones.
