Heisey to the Phills
Fans of the Philadelphia Phillies were confused this morning when ESPN broke the story that St. Louis Cardinals OF - Chris Heisey was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Heisey, a Pennsylvania native from Lancaster, is a power hitting Left Fielder who could also play in Right if needed. He has below average Contact and Gap Power, above average Home Run Power, slightly above average Eye, and average Avoid K's. Furtheremore Heisey has OK Speed and Base Running and and is a very good defensive player.
Heisey is expected to replace the struggling speedster Roman Quinn in the 4th OF spot. Likewise, the Phillies are extremely crowded with Outfield Prospects. Therefore, one can only speculate that moves will be made to acquire new talent. The Phillies desperately need pitching throughout the Organization.
In 2017, Heisey hit: 48 R, 82 H, 22 HR, 38 BB, 99 SO, .242 AVG, .325 OBP, 2.0 WAR, 9.8 BB%, 25.6 SO%, .251 ISO, .271 BABIP, and 116 wRC+ on 386 AB.
The Phillies give up low level Catching prospect C - Henri Lartique who is not projected to be a Major League prospect within the Organization.
This completes the goal of hiring a Local Player in my ownership goals.
