Who on the 2015 Phillies would you most like to see return in 2016? Did you say "Maikel Franco?" Good. Because anyone who said "assistant hitting coach John Mizerock" and "bullpen coach Rod Nichols" is going to be very upset by this next paragraph.

Fist-pumping, hand-slapping expert John Mizerock will no longer be manning third base as the Phillies attempt to retake the NL East in 2016. The Punxsutawney-born 54-year-old had been brought on as the Clearwater Threshers' hitting coach in 2011.
