One of the more glaring, undeniable issues crippling the Phillies last few seasons is the demise of outfield defense. Domonic Brown, Delmon Young, Ben Revere, Jeff Francoeur, and Cody Asche have all had the ghosts of Shane Victorino, Jayson Werth, and a face-nursing Aaron Rowand shaking their heads in confusion or outrage at some point.
Things improved slightly at times - moving Ben Revere to left field was one of the few correct things of the Ryne Sandberg Era - but a flashy, young outfield is something that just seemed like it was for other teams, especially when Revere left for Toronto.
