Phillies Offseason Thread

[MDS]

Chris Wheeler, who has worked for 35 years as a Phillies broadcaster, says you can't fake the odd-couple friendship of Franzke and Andersen.

"There are people in this business who have insufferable egos and hog everything," Wheeler says. "So the guy who's working with them has to be like a potted plant. The star is like, 'Oh, did he say something?' There's no rapport. There's tension. And listeners can hear it. These two genuinely like each other. You can't fake that. It's like Harry playing straight man for Whitey. I think Franzke figured out fast that the best way to work with Larry is to be the straight man and let Larry be Larry."

Can he play defense at all? Does it matter?

He's not very good defensively.  Zolecki saying he thinks this is contingent upon Rollins leaving.  Bleh.
