Ah, yes. Picking the best player on the worst team. A time-honored tradition handed down by god awful Tigers and Twins and Astros and Pirates squads over the years that now falls to the Phillies, whose best players are considered "trade assets" and whose worst players are considered "starters."
Where to begin? Well, I'd love for this to be about Ryan Howard. He leads the team in OPS and home runs and extra base hits. He's clearly powering the offense, despite a predictably also team-leading 52 strikeouts in 48 games.
