The middle lineup can be potent!

Just imagine Franco batting 3rd, Howard 4th, and Ruf 5th on a daily basis. with Revere or Herrera leading off and Galvis hitting 2nd. That is a can't miss lineup in my opinion. Maybe Ryno will try it, but I don't think he could figure that out.

Nope, too stupid.

Yes, some combination of those guys looks promising. Franco is the power hitter we've been missing. With each player in the lineup warmed up and contributing the Phils should be able to make up for the sad April and who knows. But let's see how they do against superior teams like the Cards. Anyway, I'm excited after today's performance.

Franco blows. He looks just as lost now as he did last year with the big club. a .240 type hitter with some pop. All he is, definitely not a star

JP Crawford remains literally the ONLY position player prospect that is legit good
