An Anarcho Syndicalist Commune: A Genealogy of Phillies Offensive Leaders

For much of the season, the Phillies have been a poor offensive team. This has allowed some unlikely heroes to rise to the top of the (s)crap heap.

The Phillies have not exactly been an offensive juggernaut in 2015. On the season they are 27th out of 30 teams in wRC+ and 26th in OPS. If you're into pure run scoring, the answer is the same: the Phillies are one of the worst offensive teams in baseball, ranking 26th in runs scored.
