The That Balls Outta Here staff looked at some of the most overrated Phillies in franchise history. By overrated, we set the standard as “remembering them too fondly and thinking they were better on the field then they actually were.”
Here are three names that came up
Ethan Witte: Larry Bowa. Easily
Mike Azzalina: In terms of an overrated guy…Aaron Rowand. I also think Cliff Lee gets too much credit but that’s more contract based and not talent.
Larry Bowa was an interesting name to bring up. Bowa is beloved by the majority of Phillies fans for his days as a player, manager, and coach.
