Another problem is that they just have too many DH types for one DH spot, so you basically have to bench guys who suck at fielding, in favor of guys who can catch the ball, like Camargo.

As much as I don’t want to give up on a young guy like Bohm, I think you have to explore trading him to get someone who can hit and play the field- maybe for a decent CF

[Edit- or another starting pitcher, for depth]

I disagree. People dont understand how desperately the Phillies need Bohm and Stott to work out. Realistically....they cant and shouldnt sign Hoskins to a 25M a year deal. They need room to work.

That room comes from Stott and Bohm becoming at worst league average players to fill likely 1B and SS cheaply.

Also while I can appreciate going for the huge ceilings....the phillies really need to draft best college players available.....we cant wait 4-5 years to see guys get to the bigs. They also need to do much better in the international drafts/signing periods.
