The 2022 Philadelphia Phillies are unquestionably better than any previous version we’ve seen head north from Clearwater since the 102-win, 2011 team. They are loaded with a lot of big bats, thanks to the free agent signings of Nick Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber. They should have more players getting on base and driving in runs. There is hope youngsters like Bryson Stott and Mickey Moniak can make third base and center field a little more fun. Their starting rotation, if healthy, could be a top-10 unit, and the bullpen, while always a question mark, has a bunch of high velocity guys who can miss bats when they’re on.
