Drafting, developing and graduating hitters through their system has been one of the Phillies’ bugaboos. There once was a time where the front office took highly tooled, uber athletic players high up in the draft rounds and tried to turn them into baseball players. Names like Greg Golson and Cornelius Randolph litter lists from recent drafts and ones from the past. Once the team decided to go after hitters who can actually, you know, hit, they’ve seen incrementally better results.
