00:00I think it's going to be Andrew Painter.
00:01I think he's a guy who has tremendous stuff.
00:04And one thing is to be known,
00:06the last thing to come back from Tommy John's surgery
00:09is usually location.
00:11What was his biggest issue last year in AAA?
00:14Location.
00:15Okay, he was leaving the ball out over the plate way too much.
00:18But when you look at what he has,
00:19a close to 100-mile-an-hour fastball,
00:21very sharp break and curveball,
00:23I think that plays at the big league level.
00:25It's just all a matter of kind of getting that under your belt,
00:28being on the big league mounds for the first time
00:31and then kind of just relaxing at the big league level.
00:34I think he'll be able to do that fairly quickly.
00:37So that's why I think he's going to be one of those guys
00:39that's going to be a rising star on the Phillies.
00:42I know a lot of people say,
00:44well, he couldn't get it done in AAA.
00:45What makes you think he could get it done in the big leagues?
00:47And I think I gave you a pretty good example
00:49in the sense that location.
00:51If you could fix your location,
00:54you've got that good of stuff,
00:55you should be pretty good at the big league level.
00:57Now, as far as hitters go,
01:00I'm going to go with an odd one here
01:03because I don't think a lot of people think about this.
01:06I think Bryson Stott.
01:07I think Bryson Stott's going to be that guy
01:09because there have been people saying,
01:11and I heard it, I know Larry Bowe was one of them,
01:14people saying that he's going to be a 300 hitter
01:16at the big league level.
01:18I mean, those guys are around him every single day.
01:21Something's been missing in the last year and a half.
01:25But I think it's one of those things
01:27where if he gets off to a hot start,
01:29that could really carry him for part of the season.
01:31So I expect Bryson Stott to kind of step up a little bit.
01:35And he's going to be one of those guys
01:36that you need to step up.
01:38And the reason why I say that is,
01:40do you really expect Kyle Schwarber to hit 56 home runs again?
01:43I don't think that answer is yes.
01:44Is he going to hit a bunch of home runs?
01:46Yeah.
01:4756 is a ton.
01:48Bryce Harper, I think,
01:49is going to take a step in the right direction also.
01:52Trey Turner's probably going to be
01:53almost exactly what he was last year.
01:56So you need somebody from the bottom of the lineup
01:58to kind of step up.
02:00And my first guess would be Bryson Stott.
02:03My second guess would be Brandon Marsh.
02:06So there you have it.
02:08Those are the guys that I think could step up.
02:37I think there's a lot of definitely going up.
