That's highly possible. The league will adjust for sure. But for now they might as well play the guy and see what happens. He's the first American League player to have 7 HR and 19 RBI in his first 21 games since Carlos Delgado 25 years ago.

I want to see Phillips play every day for at least 1/2 the season. His defense is valuable, and the power + patience profile is worth investigating. Gordon/Phillips/Soler Bonifacio rotates in at DH and plays some corner OF. |

It's the only reason why Moose, Hos, Gordo and Cain broke with this team. They had 2 seasons if not more to each "figure it out". |

No interest in Goodwin? Seems like the more established guy.

I don’t care about established. I care about upside. Phillips offers the potential for plus defense in CF with a .260/.350/.475 slash line. He’s younger than Goodwin and was a higher regarded prospect. Goodwin is a fine 5th Of to have around because he can play any spot and is a LH bat (giving you 2 RH AND 3 LH bats which is a good mix). But I don’t expect much of him. |

Hot, wild-ass guess/take: Soler gets moved at the 2019 trade deadline.

That's my thought. We're talking about a AAAA guy with zero plate discipline

Phillips was a top 100 prospect who's never been able to play full time. He'll be starting everyday next year. Plus he's a solid defender, this team values CF defense so much he'll play even if his bat struggles. Goodwin will have to light it up to steal his job, or the combo of not finding a trade partner for Whit and Nicky Lopez playing so well they just can't keep him at AAA anymore.
