The Phillies are prioritizing finding a right-handed hitter to add to their outfield mix, according to . Gelb adds that Philadelphia is expected to make at least one trade to addre s its bench mix before the deadline. The organization cleared a spot on its bench for a righty outfielder yesterday by with veteran utility player . Thats left the club to search for a platoon partner for the lefty-swinging in left field, and their internal options are fairly limited particularly with patrolling center on a regular basis. and are both currently on the clubs roster, but neither inspires much confidence. Pache, 25, was a roughly league average hitter (99 wRC+) for the Phillies last year in 95 trips to the plate but has struggled in a similar role this year. In 109 trips to the plate this year, Pache has struggled to a .200/.294/.274 with a wRC+ of just 65. Meanwhile, Wilson has just 11 games under his belt at the big league level acro s the past two seasons. While hes hit a solid .261/.431/.391 in that limited time, its hardly a surprise that the Phillies would be interesting in a more established option than Weston, particularly given his somewhat middling 107 wRC+ at the Triple-A level this year. , who his hitting an excellent .275/.333/.461 (123 wRC+) on the year and was forced out of the starting lineup by the return of from the injured list, may seem like an obvious solution. The 28 year old has been ice cold at the plate lately, however, with a slash line of just .239/.269/.347 in his last 104 trips to the plate this year. Even setting aside Sosas prolonged cold streak, the utility infielder has virtually no experience in the outfield with his four brief cameos on the gra s spanning just 5 1/3 innings. That would make him a risky choice for regular time in the outfield, particularly with Nick Fortes Jersey s le s-than-stellar defense in right field on an everyday basis. Thats left the Phillies to look for external options as they track down a platoon partner for Marsh, who is hitting just .149/.222/.170 against southpaws this year. Fortunately, there are plenty of potential trade candidates who could improve on that production substantially. A look at for the upcoming deadline reveals a number of right-handed hitting outfield options, and while top option is likely not in the cards for a club that appears to be looking for a smaller addition pieces like , , or even could all capably fill the short-side platoon role the Phillies are looking to add a candidate for. Pillar in particular appears to be a strong fit for the Phillies are looking for. The veteran has had a resurgent season at the plate with the Angels after struggling during his time with the White Sox earlier this year, and much of that production has come by way of crushing lefties. The 35-year-old has hit an excellent .359/.406/.625 in 69 trips to the plate against southpaws this year, and that strong production is largely backed up by his career .282/.318/.470 line against opposite-handed pitching. While hes more of a scratch defender (-1 OAA, -3 DRS) at this point in his career than the elite center fielder he was in his younger days, Pillar could still be an excellent platoon bat for a team like the Phillies. Beyond the aforementioned options, there are some other le s likely trade candidates who could make some sense for the Phillies, such as Tigers veteran or As slugger . Rooker has been but may be an imperfect fit for a club looking for smaller acquisitions, but the 35-year-old Canha could fit that bill nicely after a somewhat down season at the plate this year. That overall downturn in production hasnt stopped him from being a quality hitter against lefty pitching, however, as Canha has slashed a strong .290/.408/.484 in 76 trips to the plate against southpaws this year. While the slugger is split-neutral for his career his lengthier track record of offensive production could be appealing for the Phillies. Vidal Brujan Jersey
