Some of his defensive plays were mind bogglingly good. Puig has never been anywhere near the same page as Phillips, defensively nor offensively.. To me Puig is more talk than anything, an average player at best with a bigger than big league ego.. Still, I hope he has a great season, hits over .300 and can do well in the OF. The reason being that he's a Reds player. I want every Reds player to be in the running for MVP every season. Then again I've often wished with a handful of **** in one hand and wishes in the other.. lol
Phillips was amazing with the glove and was very valuable to the Reds in his versatility as a hitter. I guess in that respect, he did back up his big mouth. I do root for every Red to do well because it helps the team. I’ve just never been a fan of the cocky players. Phillips has absolutely earned a place in the Reds HOF and will fall a little short of the Baseball HOF. I liked Brandon’s play but wasn’t a fan of his look at me personality. Puig has that look at me personality too and really hasn’t proved much in baseball yet.
