00:00Let's talk about another guy who has some upside that's hopefully making his debut this year,
00:04and that's Justin Crawford.
00:05How do you see him fitting in the lineup, and what's his upside this year?
00:10You know, Bill, I'm glad you asked about him.
00:12I don't feel like there's really enough talk about the impact that Justin Crawford has a chance to make.
00:20Go back and take a look at what he did in AAA last year.
00:24He had .334 on base over .400, slugging percentage over .500, so 26 bases.
00:33Here's a little trivia question for you.
00:35How many active Major League players do you think have ever had that year?
00:42.334, .400 on base, slugging percentage almost .545 stolen bases.
00:49How many?
00:50Zero.
00:51You want to guess?
00:52It's one.
00:53Ronald Acuna, Jr.
00:56Not bad company.
00:58Yeah, and I know the AAA and the big leagues are different, and he's not going to do that.
01:04But, again, we're talking enormous upside and potential to change games.
01:12The other thing, too, is we can measure this stuff now.
01:16You know who the fastest player in the minor leagues was last year?
01:19Justin Crawford.
01:21So, he's going to hit ninth, and I have not seen anything this spring, at least when I've been at
01:29Phillies camp, it says,
01:30Justin Crawford isn't going to be a really, really good player.
01:35Here's my prediction.
01:36Best number nine hitter in Phillies history.
01:39What do you think?
01:40What do you think?
01:40What do you think?
01:43What do you think?
01:44How do you think?
