VonPurpleHayes You haven’t knocked down anything and said 4-5 things that are 100% wrong. The Phillies have never finished in last place since signing Harper yet you claim they have. Harper put up all-star caliber seasons yet you claim he sucked. None of what you say makes sense. The Phillies aren’t a great team. We agree there. Everything else you say is nonsense. Very Barry The Phillies have not been in the playoffs in over a decade. The fan base is so backwards they now consider a non last place finish an accomplishment. Again, this is what happens when you abandon a rebuild ...

For starters, the Phillies finished in the Top 5 in baseball in runs scored last year. They had a solid, if not spectacular, starting rotation that should be slightly improved in 2021 (more on that in a bit).

But the window of opportunity for a team that has Harper, Realmuto, Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler all together in their primes is a situation that the Phillies front office decided is worth giving another try. Playing in all 60 games last season in Philly, Gregorius looked to earn every penny of the $14 million (pro-rated of course) he was paid on a prove-it deal, hitting .284 with 10 homer...
