That’s why I hope he gets more than two dozen ABs this spring.
I'd like to see him get another year at Lehigh and get his strikeouts down a bit. Good to see his walk rate going up from '17 to '18. Kid is still a project, I want him getting 500 ABs somewhere, not playing twice a week up here.

So, Phillyy fans, what is your projected Batting order? Should I be concerned with Herrera's playing time on my affiliate league?

Not his playing time but there is a good chance he bats 8th.

I think Hernandez could bat 8th or 9th.
While I like Hernandez and his .360 OBP in the leadoff spot, there may be better options.

Does Harper hit 2nd or 3rd?

Philadelphia senior vice president of ticket operations John Weber revealed to MLB’s Todd Zolecki that the team has sold approximately 100,000 tickets in less than 24 hours following the Harper signing.

Zolecki added the Phillies had already sold roughly 200,000 more tickets than they had at this point one year ago prior to the Harper reports.

Hate it when a pitcher bats 8th.

I’ve seen a lot about Hernandez on the bottom today. And I like it.

The idea is to get more potential baserunners leading up to Harper, Hoskins and Realmuto. It’s not traditional. But I like it.

And I’ve seen Harper as 2nd....but either batting spot should work fine.

What's the position plan? Is it Harper in right, and Herrera in center?

Harper in right, Odubel in center (Quinn also a bench option in CF, but he's on the mend again)

Fucking again and again and again. Sucks. Such a good punch speed option on the bases when healthy.

Yep, I like Dusty's line-up the best but the question remains will dumbass Kaplan think along the same lines and actually keep it place if it is successful?

The full NTC and no opt outs blows the whole "Harper didn't like Philadelphia" narrative completely out of the water.
It did.
I take it back.
This is one cool cat.
