You can laugh all you want Westcoast but that is your statistics right now. Since we have young players at nearly every position who are all developing, we can have this discussion in a couple of years. WE shall see how it plays out.

Other than the fact that he's big like Luzinski, sorry but there is no other resemblance. Rupp is averaging 1 HR for every 60 AB's. He will be 27 next month and there are 2 rising stars at the catchers position in the Phillies system. Lol,comparing him to Luzinski!

I like comparing Rupp to a developing Brian McCann.

Keep your personal life out of it, butthead. It's a hopeful comparison. Rupp only has 228 ML ABs. He did hit 10 and 14 HRs in the minors in '12 and '13 so he has some power capabilities.

Precisely jvett. You nailed it on the head. Rupp has a ways to go but a couple of years from now we may be having this discussion again because, as you stated, its early and their are glimpses. Besides it took Luzinski a couple of three years to really get going as well.
