“What if...” questions are always fun. We’ve even started one here where we look at hypothetical scenarios in the game and how they might affect the Phillies. One of the bigger ones here is what would have happened if Andrew McCutchen hadn’t had his knee buckle that fateful day in San Diego. Would his decline be as sharp? Might his option have been picked up? Who knows.
