Besides his defensive WAR of +1.3 his first 2 full seasons behind the plate, there's this scouting report from MLB.com when he was still a prospect.  I get it, DD is now in your tribe, Philly Dumb, and must be defended like a first born son.  But that Marsh was a day one loser, period.  Plenty of equal alternatives were available for a fraction of the cost.  DD thought that the stunod coaches he hired could "fix" Marsh, they didn't/couldn't.

While O’Hoppe’s defensive tools don’t jump out as plus, he is a very solid all-around receiver, with a quick release, an accurate arm and excellent blocking skills. Pitchers love throwing to him, and his worth ethic and makeup are off the charts, the kind of leader teams covet behind the plate.

Lolololol!!!  Keep trying sparky.  There is plenty of sources that point out that your boy is a far below average catcher.  You’re either ridiculously stubborn or a complete moron.  Your choice dopey.

His .629 ops last season was pathetic as well.

Kruk dumb, the gold standard of dumb.

With regular ABs I'm certain he puts up a 700+ OPS.

Durability is his only unproven trait.

As Doc pointed out, he has a career sub 700 OPS.

As far as durability is concerned, he’s proven that he’s not durable.  I hope I’m wrong and he stays healthy and can hit.  I’m not holding my breath though.

I’d like to see if the Rockies have any interest in trading Goodman.  I doubt it but it can’t hurt to inquire.

To be clear, just about everything has been spelled out by published literature.

Your logic amounts to "yeah it's raining and I'm outside without an umbrella, but is there a study that says for sure that the rain is why I'm wet"

Real scientists don't bother addressing this level of dumb.

Sounds like more of your krukshit.  What a shocker.

I was assured that Ranger remaining a starter would net him much more money than the 5/125 he'd have gotten as a closer in this market.

Lolololololololol!!!!!!!!  There is zero chance that Ranger would sniff 5/125 as an unproven closer.  I don’t think he’s ever been healthy for a full season.

Your reasoning is flawed as usual.

You can tell Jojo absolutely loves having a big guy play with him at the 4, whether its Bona or Barlow (or perhaps Ben Simmons in the near future).

Good lord, just get over it already.  The way you cape for that heartless loser is beyond creepy at this point.

He will NEVER play for the Sixers again.  Hell, he might not ever play in the NBA again.  He’s a fisherman now which is perfect for him. 

Lolololol at you with your pathetic gentle Ben love.

It's perplexing that Ben isn't a Sixer right now.

And I love what Barlow and Bona are doing for us at the 4.

It’s not perplexing at all.  Your heartless hero is a fisherman now lol

Is it?  Not that I see.  And O'Hoppe is there because of his offense, not his D.

His offense was putrid this past season. .213 ba with a laughable 258 obp.  Couple that with his horrendous defense and you have a player only kruk could love.

They don't cut into your back just to "look around" like they did Embiid's knee.

Ben sacrificed his body for the Sixers in a way that Iverson never did.

But most of that effort was on defense when most fans are evidently scrolling through TikTok videos waiting for our next offensive possession.

He's said nothing but nice things about Philly and Philly fans since leaving, and has made it clear that his reason for leaving was Doc, and that he'd come back to Philly for free.

Lol!!!
