Brandon Marsh went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer and a walk against the Yankees on Wednesday.
In spite of a 126 OPS+ in 2013 and a 109 mark last season, Marsh is probably going to open up as the Phillies’ No. 9 hitter. It doesn’t seem fair, given that he’s probably their fourth or fifth best hitter against righties, but it’s not like the Phillies have any below average bats in their lineup. Since Marsh will also do quite a bit of sitting versus southpaws, it’s hard to recommend him in mixed leagues right now.
