Phils call up Tommy Joseph

[JuTMSY4]

Nice to see their taking the performance seriously enough to make moves the team needs. I wouldn't want a trade, but I like the fact that they are trying without risking the future. Tojo was dfa-ed last year, so the risk is minimal.

I'm guessing Ruf will get the boot and I think he had to be dfa-ed as well.

Ruf sucks

[HEREisAKERS]

Biggest problem with Ruf was his likeness to Sham

Hopefully he plays well.

It would be nice to get some return from the Pence trade.

I saw Joseph as a Double A Richmond Flying Squirrels several years ago. He was a really good minor league catcher but I hope he's a good fit at least 1B. I recall him being a standout hitter for Richmond. It wouldn't take much more than a bit of consistency at the plate for him to stick with the big club. That and avoiding head injuries.

optimistic about TJ. I think with a long run of decent health he could be the guy at 1B.

[Loki]

He was always a player.

If he can stay healthy, it could be another nice bat in the middle of the lineup.


At least at first he doesn't have to worry about getting slammed by baserunners or taking 90 mile an hour fastballs to the mug.


Speaking of fast balls to the mug, where's DQ been today?
