    Giglio disagrees with Fritz ranking Hurts outside top 10 athletes in Philadelphia: 'We've overreacted'

    Jack Fritz ranked Jalen Hurts outside the top 10 athletes in Philadelphia on Monday's 94WIP Afternoon Show and Joe Giglio took exception to this.

    "He is misguided on this," Giglio said on Tuesday's 94WIP Midday Show.

    Fritz's list, he says, was put together based on his "eye test" and nothing else.

    "Number 11 is Jalen Hurts," Fritz said on Monday. "Off of eye test alone, Jalen is number 11. He is pretty good. I don't know what he's great at as a quarterback. We'll say winning, I get it, but they did have the biggest collapse in team history for the quote-unquote winning. Just pure talent wise, he's never wowed me. I think he's good, I think he's fine."

    Here is Fritz's full list:

    11. Jalen Hurts
    10. Kyle Schwarber
    9. DeVonta Smith
    8. Tyrese Maxey
    7. Saquon Barkley
    6. Trea Turner
    5. Lane Johnson
    4. Zack Wheeler
    3. A.J. Brown
    2. Joel Embiid
    1. Bryce Harper

    "Trea Turner has had three good months here and he's been here and year plus," Giglio argued. "Three good months he's had in a Phillies uniform and his OPS is sub .800 and he's ahead of Jalen Hurts who took this team to a Super Bowl? I love Kyle Schwarber...Schwarber is a DH! Holy moly. I believe we, and I'll put myself towards the end last year, I think we overreacted to the way Jalen played [last season]."

    The 94WIP Afternoon Show began revealing their top 11 Philadelphia athlete list on Monday, with the full list being revealed on Friday. Fans were able to submit their top 5 here , which is counted as a percentage of the final list.
