Ach Zeflin: Blue Jays A Lot, Phillies A Little

Days like today are why there was so much excitement for the 2016 Phillies. It wasn't exciting because we saw them leading the National League East and playing over .500 into May, not because we didn't predict that (we didn't) but because that wasn't the point. After a revolving door of Sean O'Sullivans and Severino Gonzalezes and Jerome Williamses, the prospect of prospects loomed large in 2016. We knew we would get to see the presumptive future of the franchise debut in the major leagues. We didn't know when we would see that, but we knew we would see it.
