flyguy1609 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports that the Phillies are "zeroing in on" Dusty Wathan to be their next manager. Wathan, 44, has been managing at various levels of the Phillies' minor league system since 2008 and he spent the 2017 season with Triple-A Lehigh Valley, so this would be somewhat of a natural promotion. Among the other known candidates to take over for Pete Mackanin, who was let go in late September: Dodgers director of player development Gabe Kapler, Mariners third base coach Manny Acta, Rockies bench coach Mike Redmond, Giants third base coach Phil Nevin, and Phillies third base coach Juan Samuel.

I wanted Kapler, but won't complain if it ends up being Wathan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjapirate Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Wathan seems like a classic phillies hire and that's not usually a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjapirate Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) the phillies on facebook posted something about freddie winning the gold glove and a lot of phillies fans seem to love freddie and think he deserves it and that they need to pay him to keep him. Phillies fans are dumb. Galvis is garbage. Edited October 27, 2017 by ninjapirate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Galvis isn't "garbage" he's just not... "good". He's serviceable. If there's anyone who I think is underrated as a whole, it's Cesar Hernandez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, Brandon Crawford is winning the gold glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjapirate Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I also don't get the Stanton rumor fascination. We need pitching not to waste a bunch of resources upgrading in the outfield where we should be ok without one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are two important areas for Philadelphia's management group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
