There is probably no bigger missed opportunity for the 2016 Phillies than Aaron Altherr's season. What makes the whole series of events so tragic is that it was nobody's fault, not Altherr's, not the Phillies. Then to top it all off, the nature of Altherr's injury forced us to watch him struggle on the field for two months without the physical ability to make improvements. The good news is that unlike with fellow outfielder Cody Asche, the Phillies want to see more of Altherr going forward.
Coming into the season the Phillies had Altherr penciled in as their everyday right fielder.
