Maikel Franco not completely destroyed after all

Hey, good news for people who live in fear.

While Phillies news, analysis, and thoughts has been dominated by the Chase Utley-shaped hole in the door, there are players who still play for the team. Some of those players are actually pretty good, and will contribute to the team's continued progress as the future takes shape.

Look at these guys! Under 30 years old! Under 25 years old! I think the bullpen catcher is a toddler glued to the TV who throws a tantrum when someone asks him to warm up. Youth is everywhere, as AXE Bodyspray replaces Old Man Smell as the clubhouse's dominating aroma.
