Coach Rob thomson speaks on 3 external options for the Phillies to do to replace J.T Realmuto as there set for next match
The news on Tuesday was annihilating for the Philadelphia Phillies and their fans.
Star catcher J.T Realmuto was put on the 10-day harmed rundown to go through a medical procedure on his right knee. The knee meniscectomy, planned for Wednesday in Philadelphia, will eliminate the torn meniscus from his knee and put him on the rack for somewhere around a month, perhaps longer.
It’s something the stopping board had been managing and enduring since he missed three games in May with knee irritation. It was inevitable, it appeared, until we wound up here. Presently the Phillies are without seemingly the main piece of the riddle.
3 outside choices for the Phillies to supplant J.T Realmuto
The Phillies will rest on Stubbs and Rafael Marchán, essentially for the time being. Leader of baseball tasks Dave Dombrowski said they anticipate that the top catcher should be out a month, yet imagine a scenario in which it takes more time and Dombrowski and senior supervisor Sam Fuld conclude they need to branch out and track down a superior substitution.
The following are three outside choices the Phillies could consider to supplant Realmuto while he’s out of the arrangement.
Tomás Nido, New York Mets
The division rival New York Mets just assigned Tomás Nido for task in the wake of enacting Francisco Alvarez from the 10-day IL. The 30-year-old has been playing irregularly in the major associations since appearing in 2017.
It’s absolutely impossible that he could at any point supplant Realmuto, yet Nido was cutting .229/.261/.361 of every 90 plate appearances this season. He has three grand slams and eight RBI in his restricted time and would be a redesign at the plate over Stubbs who’s hitting .179 with a .466 Operations this year.
Protectively, the veteran fence positions twelfth among qualified catchers with three blocks better than expected. For examination, Realmuto positions 64th (out of 66 catchers) and Stubbs positions 53rd. He has likewise been somewhat greater at outlining pitches than both Phillies catchers.
Nido would be a modest, brief choice to play close by Stubbs until Realmuto returns in the event that the Phillies needed a veteran update over Marchán
