Let’s play a game. Pretend – not for the sake of pageviews, but for the sake of trying to project what the Phillies will look like when the 2019 regular season begins in two months – that the Phillies sign Bryce Harper. What would the ripple effect be on the rest of the outfield?
In the latest Phillies Nation Mailbag, I tried to project what Roman Quinn’s role will be in 2019. If the Phillies sign Harper, Quinn will likely be a bench piece. If they don’t sign Harper, Quinn could be the team’s starting center fielder on Opening Day, with Odubel Herrera pushed to a corner outfield spot.
