I wouldn’t even want to do Crochet for Painter straight up😂
I don’t think I’d want Crochet at all honestly. He sounds like a huge pain in the ass.
It’s actually laughable that the White Sox thought Painter was a possibility. What a joke of a front office.
The team is not trading Painter away for anything. He’s gonna be our 5th starter next year.
They knitted together a good team without him.
Crochet is a 25 year old, controllable ace-level starter. They’re the same age, and he is already what we hope painter becomes! Taboot crochet could have helped this year, possibly our best WS chance with this core. I’m not saying we should or shouldn’t have, but I think anybody acting like Painter is a sure thing should reflect on a long list of sure things who weren’t.
Edit: not same age. Still, doesn’t change much of the point.
Some very high expectations here for a kid that hasn’t thrown a meaningful pitch on the big league club (spring training doesn’t count). Did y’all forget about Scott Kingery? He was supposed to be the second coming of Utley. He’s been rotting in AAA for 4 years. Pump the breaks. Unproven prospects are trade bait for proven big league talent.
No way the Phillies could give up on having Zack Wheeler and baby Zack Wheeler on the team next year
