00:00He does have some things going for him.
00:02You think about that ballpark down there in Texas with the Rangers.
00:05It's a big ballpark.
00:08I'm sure, I haven't looked at the statistics, but I'm sure there were a bunch of baseballs
00:13that would have been gone elsewhere that he hit in Texas that just didn't go out of the ballpark.
00:18And we have to face facts.
00:20You look at Citizens Bank Park, it's one of the best home run hitting ballparks in the league.
00:25Left field is very reachable for any major leaguer.
00:29If you get the wind even blown out a little bit, it makes it that much more attainable.
00:34He had 19 home runs last year.
00:36I think the biggest factor that you have to look for him is that he's either going to be
00:41most likely hitting behind, he can be hitting behind Schwarber and or Harper.
00:47One thing you need there is you need to make contact.
00:50So I think being a little bit more selective at the plate might be conducive to him
00:58being all around better.
01:00I think the one thing you're going to look for is home runs.
01:02I mean, the guy is a behemoth.
01:04He's huge.
01:05His arm's as big as my legs.
01:07I mean, you don't find many of these guys around Major League Baseball, but he is a rock
01:12and he can hit the ball.
01:13And when he does make contact, it could go a long way.
01:16I think he turns it around.
01:17I don't know as good as the 23 season, but I would say somewhere in between now and then
01:23would be good for the Phillies, especially in this type of lineup.
01:26He's going to see some pitches to hit.
