Daily News | Trading Rhys Hoskins, Phillies World Series goat (not really), would be dumb
Rhys Hoskins runs the bases after a solo home run for the Phillies in Game 3 of the World Series against the Astros.A Phillies slugger committed 51 errors in his first six seasons playing first base in the majors. He also hit 148 home runs in his first 2,887 plate appearances.
Granted, he hit .159 in the postseason, but the Astros had the best pitching in the American League, by a mile; their team ERA of 2.90 was 12% better than the Yankees’ 3.30, and their 134 home runs allowed were 15% better than the Yankees’ 157. Their team ERA in the playoffs was 2.29 despite allowing 13 homers in 13 games — a per-game rate that still tied them for second best among the playoff teams.
Thome hit in lineups that featured Albert Belle, Manny Ramirez, Kenny Lofton, Omar Vizquel, Eddie Murray, Paul Sorrento, Carlos Baerga, Sandy Alomar, David Justice, Matt Williams, and Travis Fryman.Maybe the Hoskins hate isn’t as intense as I perceive it to be. Maybe I’m making too much of the boos that greeted him in Game 3 of the NLCS, despite having hit the most
Hoskins is a natural No. 4 hitter, but he’s been second in the lineup most often in his career. His OPS as a cleanup hitter in 2019, when he regularly hit behind Bryce Harper, was .872, and he hit 27 homers in that spot that season. His career OPS of .913 hitting fourth is 108 points higher than his career OPS of .805 hitting second.
