In today's episode, Connor is evaluating Philadelphia Phillies' utility man Edmundo Sosa's 2023 season! First, a breakdown of why Sosa's numbers from this past season put him exactly where the Phillies need him to be in his utility role with the team and why it's a key position for a winning team. Next, is there any chance we see Sosa in any role besides the utility/backup role in the infield in the future with the Phils, or is he blocked in to his current spot on the team? Finally, with his playoff performance where it is, is there a clear need for the Phillies off the bench more than just a solid bat to add to what Sosa brings to the organization?

In today's episode, Connor is evaluating who he believes to be the toughest player to judge on the 2023 Philadelphia Phillies. How do you grade out Ranger Suarez's season? It was a weird one marked by injury and a bit of a regression in the numbers, but is he still capable of the excellent year he had in 2021? Also, was this a year where Suarez was simply unlucky, or are these numbers indicative of the type of pitcher he will consistently be. Finally, with only 2 years left of team control, what is Suarez's future in Philadelphia?
