00:00all right now in the bryce harper era okay we're going to ask you a little question is this the
00:05best roster that they've had up and down the bryce harper era it's crazy to me that it's year eight
00:15of the bryce harper era but it's not what you asked so all right let me talk this through um
00:22i think if a lot of things go right you're right it it could be and it would be and
00:29now
00:29last year was a hell of a roster too zach willard was on that opening day roster he isn't on
00:35this
00:35one so you probably deduct points for that but johan duran wasn't on last year's um don't you
00:43think it's fair to say the phillies of the bryce era have never had a closer like that or really
00:49even had a bullpen this deep on paper so there's that if we're going to say this is the best
00:57roster
00:58they would need andrew painter to be good they would need uh justin crawford to be really good
01:04um i mean i was joking with matt gill last week in clearwater he's going to be the best number
01:10nine hitter in philly's history even better than ricky batalico and that am i right i'm right yes
01:17i would think so i mean they the pitchers stopped uh hitting oh not too long ago i i'm aware
01:24um
01:25so i also think there's a world where alec bohm is much better than last year certainly
01:30got a lot on the line there's a world where price and stott is much better than the first half
01:36of
01:36last year had a great spring a lot of a lot of buzzing about price and stott from scouts and
01:43people
01:43around the league there's a world where price harper is much better than last year uh there's
01:50there's a there's a world where adoliz carcia is good as a good player um but look it's a lot
01:57to
01:57assume and i do worry about depth i mean they need these starting pitchers to be healthy
02:03and even in the position player group if they have a big injury or two or three among the guys
02:11in the
02:11lineup where are the reinforcements coming from did you know there is one position player
02:19in lehigh valley who's on the 40-man big league roster one i bet you couldn't even guess who it
02:24is
02:27i'm drawing a blank there's one on the 40-man big league one position player on their 40-man
02:33roster who is in triple a oh it is pedro leone of course okay yeah i would have got it
02:40that's not
02:42good i mean so like if if you're asking me is this the best roster the bryce era the the
02:48group in the
02:48big leagues if healthy and the stars lineup is really good but stay tuned
