If the 2020 Philadelphia Phillies season had started, as initially scheduled, on March 26, Scott Kingery almost certainly would have been the starting second baseman. But what about if Opening Day is on May 26? Or June 26?

Though top position prospect Alec Bohm wasn’t expected to be on the Phillies Opening Day roster, the expectation was that the 23-year-old would join the major league club at some point this summer. Now, the regular season may not even begin until some point this summer.
