Will the 2022 Phillies be the worst defensive team of all time?

[Illustrious Potentate]

I’m seeing very little range with about 4 DH’s in that lineup

But with that said, they should still be better than last season. Offense is infinitely more important than OF defense. The 2021 Braves rode 4 left fielders to a WS title

Phillies will Philly.

They'll finish around 83-79 & have at least 3 domestic violence occurrences from their players before season's end.

We trading for Marcell Ozuna?

Nah, but y’all still have that weird obsession with Odubel Herrera

I don't think they'll be the worst. '05 Yankees had negative defenders almost everywhere. Segura should be above average, and Harper is close enough to average. Depends on what happens with the left side of the infield. CF is going to be a black hole for sure.

Was hoping they were going to move on after last season. Hope Moniak can take his spot, but the contract there was a bit of a bummer.

He’ll get a standing ovation in the home opener like he does for every game

Doubt it, since he hurt his back trying to keep his woman in check.

The signs and chants will be there regardless. A weird fan favorite IMO

Remember when Ryan Zimmerman and Ian Desmond was the left side of the Nats defense and Zimmerman couldn’t throw and Desmond couldn’t field or throw? That’s gonna be better than the left side of your infield defense this year. Bookit

Crowd microphones don’t lie. Heard the pro Herrera chants every Phillies home game

Didi should be better than last year. Bohm is a stiff. Stott should be an upgrade at one of those positions.

Bohm still hasn’t touched home. He needs a good liner to the nutsack

Philly nation was pissed he got suspended at all. I remember. Something, something Philadelphia culture was their argument

and yet jeter still won the gold glove with a negative defensive rating that year. Says everything you need to know about the award.

holy crap, the '05 Yankees had three players under -20 Total Zone Runs. Jeter, Bernie and Cano (though Cano's been above average since his rookie season). Womack and Sheff also came in at -14.
